Besides the fact that tomorrow the field will be reduced by 180 delegates and Hillary will still have to make up the same 140 delegate deficit is the question about money. The fact that the Clintons have gone quiet about a metric they normally boast about when they have good news is an indicator. The use of the 527 to buy candidate ads in Indiana is another. The change from strident anti-Obama to pandering is another indicator.

But the real reason is unlike us they are talking with the super delegates. They know that the super delegates are not there. The Clintons are not stupid and they will not prolong a futile campaign. They will know tomorrow the number one question that they will be facing is "Is Hillary dropping out?".

They may decide to wait until West Virginia to go out on a big victory but after that she is looking at three more losses in OR, MT and SD.
