All the chicken entrails point to Hillary conceding tomorrow night.
HuffPost reports talks between the candidates about help in retiring her huge campaign debt and amnesty for her diehard supporters. All good signs.
But there are concession speeches and there are concession speeches.
After all the on-to-Denver rhetoric, merely suspending her campaign will not end the sniping and divisiveness.
Many of the supporters she has egged on would rightly take that as a sign to keep up an unsanctioned but destructive guerrilla campaign.
No, even if her endorsement of her rival is reluctant -- and it clearly will be -- it has to be 100 per cent.
No credentials-committee appeal.
No more talk about popular vote.
Or about electability.
Or about how superdelegates can change their minds right into August.
In fact, if Hillary is going to bow to the inevitable, she should go all the way.
Not only endorse, but actually pledge her superdelegate vote -- and Bill's, if he can be persuaded -- to Obama.
And co-ordinate that announcement just right, so Obama can deliver it simultaneously to his audience in St. Paul.
The dark cloud that hangs over the Democratic nomination process would instantly lift.
Do it, Hillary.
It's not only the right thing to do for your party and your country, it's the smart thing to do politically.
