Is Our Hillary Going To Drop Out Or Not? Someone Find Out!
Can Obama do it? Can Hillary force herself to lose? Every reporter in the country is scanning e-mails, harassing sources, divining from "expense reports," following travel schedules, monitoring clandestine superdelegate meetings, et cetera et cetera and so forth, to see what's gonna happen tomorrow. Here's a bulleted list of tea leaves being read. Our guess? Hillary herself has not even considered making a plan yet.

Nothing on Hillary's schedule beyond Wednesday morning. Maybe she is just the President of Procrastination? [ ABC News ]
Hillary's top campaign fundraising chair: "I strongly suspect that you're going to see a wait and see attitude until at least Wednesday." She also mentions that she has no idea what the hell she's talking about. [ TPM Election Central ]

And by far the most important sign is that Harold Ickes may have gotten the memo: "Top adviser Harold Ickes and fundraising director Jonathan Mantz held a conference call with top donors Monday. Among other things, Ickes said Clinton most likely would not appeal a ruling by the Democratic Party rules committee seating the delegation from a disputed primary in Michigan, according to a participant who described the call on condition of anonymity."
