I don't think "ready" would be the accurate word. I think she's getting "ready" to finally face the reality of the delegate count...

My first choices would have been Ron Paul or Mike Gravel but oncde they were both gone and it came down to these 3, I had to side with Obama.

I'm fine with either Clinton or Obama. I think I prefer Obama's policy though, but Clinton is more experienced.
In any case, I'm fine with this as long as Obama wins the actual election!

Update: No, apparently she isn't about ready to give up, at least not yet...

I wouldn't count on it as a done deal.
In a national race between Clinton and McCain, Clinton would almost certainly win the election.
In a national race between Obama and McCain, McCain has a fighting chance.
Obama has weaknesses. His policies are not well thought out. Makes it easier for the Republicans to attack and to present a clear alternative.
I've been hoping for Clinton to get the nomination. She has plans for health care that would be real reform. We desperately need that. Obama's health care ideas are weak and don't address the core problems. With McCain we get more of the same that we currently have. Hillary is the chance for true health care reform. Obama not so (unless he does something like appoint Hillary as his health care Czar and drastically change his campaign position on health care).

John, I find it charmingly optimistic that you think it is his policies the Republicans will be going after.

John, I find it charmingly optimistic that you think it is his policies the Republicans will be going after.
I was keeping my analysis on a policy level. The actual campaign is going to be ugly. Obama's membership and support of his black church is not going to go away. That is going to be bad for him and ugly in the campaign. There are people who will not vote for him because of that. Obama is also more liberal and progressive than his campaign paints him to be. The McCain campaign is going to go after that angle as well.
A campaign against Obama is going to be more ugly than a campaign against Hillary.
I owe Harper and Blackwood an espresso. Way back I was thinking Hillary would be for sure able to get the nomination.

Clinton Is About Ready To Give Up!!!!!!H.C. will never give up. If not Prez this time, she'll try again.
If she does get the nod for Veep, at least then Letterman can continue with the pant suit jokes.

Chelsie in 2012!!Since Chelsea was born in 1980, we'll have to wait until 2016 for her to be over 35 if she wants to be prez. She can run as a Representative now but has to wait until 2010 to be a Senator.
Who knows how many more Bushs or Clintons will be in Gub'mint Service?

Believe me, I'm not counting it as a done deal. I said as long as Obama wins I am fine. I would like a Democratic win, and Obama and Hilary would both be fine by me. What I was saying is that Hilary's defeat is fine only if Obama can beat McCain.

I don't see a problem for you. From where I sit those three all look like democrats. McCain looks enough like a democrat to the democrats that they tried to draft him.

Eh, McCain isn't enough of a democrat. I'm an extremely liberal person, so I wan't the most liberal person possible. Moderate is too conservative for me ;)
