It is being reported today, that tonights speech by Clinton, could in fact, call Barack Obama the presumptive nominee. While she won't end her campaign, she could fall in line and stop the contentious campaigning that has tore the Democratic party apart over the past few months.
Terry McAuliffe, chairman of Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign, said today that once Obama claims the majority of convention delegates neded for the 2008 nomination: "I think Hillary Clinton will congratulate him and call him the nominee."
This could happen by the end of this day, depending on the dance of the remaining uncommitted superdelegates. The party's insiders were lining up behind the junior senator from Illinois at a pace that could seal the nomination once results from the primaries in Montana and South Dakota arrive - if not sooner.
