What's going on here? The AP reported scant minutes ago, and I quote [1]:
Hillary Rodham Clinton will concede Tuesday night that Barack Obama has the delegates to secure the Democratic nomination, campaign officials said, effectively ending her bid to be the nation's first female president. Obama is 40 delegates shy of clinching the nomination, but he is widely expected to make up the difference Tuesday with superdelegate support and votes in South Dakota and Montana. Once he reaches the magic number of 2,118, Clinton will acknowledge that he has secured the necessary delegates to be the nominee.
The moment the story hit, the news went nuts with this part — perhaps overlooking the very next sentence.
"The former first lady will stop short of formally suspending or ending her race in her speech in New York City."
Terry McAuliffe just said to CNN that she's "absolutely not" planning to concede. "Until someone has those numbers" there will be no concession. And he says of the AP "They are 100 percent reporting incorrectly."
OK! Your guess is as good as mine! Is the denial just a bandaid until tonight because the story broke [2]? Will the tune change [3] tonight? Is she dropping or not?
