As the obituaries for the Clinton campaign rolled in last week, the candidate herself refused to be buried. "I'm not dead."
"I'm getting better."
"I don't want to go on the cart."
She said that she would stay in the race “until there is a nominee.” Most seemed to think that this meant that she would concede defeat if the Obama campaign could assemble enough pledged delegates and super-delegates to pass the magic number of 2025 — or 2209 according to the Clinton campaign.
