I think I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that Clinton might well bow out this weekend. I’m probably wrong, but it seems like as graceful an exit as she can make - so long as the DNC and Team Obama do not come to a conclusion that would be personally humiliating to her.

My guess would be that they’ll reach a face saving compromise over the seating of the delegates that would allow Clinton to gracefully concede and bow out with at least some of her dignity intact. Just what kind of agreement would be acceptable to Clinton is beyond me, but I’m not on the DNC.

Whether Obama will put her on his ticket is open to question, but Clinton’s run for the top spot this year is over save the finale. Is it going to be a graceful exit or a glorious burst of noise and light? We’ll see. Now we can begin pontificating on the extent McCain will benefit from a Clinton drop-out from the Blue Dog vote.
