Hillary has to stay put at least until after all the polls close

Ask the people of SD and MT: when was the last time a presidential candidate visited their states, met with "regular folks?" When was the last time national TV crew was there, talking to "the man in the street?"

Let the voters there cast their votes. Let them know that they make a difference just as Iowa and New Hampshire did.

If nothing else, this will be the main points remembered from this campaign. And perhaps we could keep these moments next elections through rotating primaries.

1. ABSOLUTELY! The only way I see Hillary dropping out tonight is

if BO gets the number of votes, no matter where from, to secure the nomination. If that does not happen to night, we won't see, and shouldn't see her make any moves.

2. This is exactly why all the "breaking" posts saying HRC will

announce or will not announce is just so much noise. Common courtesy should dictate that neither candidate will say anything until the polls close...possibly not until tomorrow. Why rain on parades in MT and SD?

3. After Carter conceded in 1980, even though many Californians had yet to vote

the networks decided not to "declare" until after all the polls at specific states closed. But now, it appears, CNN and MSNBC and AP are trampling all over themselves to "predict."

Even the WSJ today had a story about informal talks between the two campaigns between individuals who have known each other for years, from previous campaigns when they worked together.
