After a day full of conflicting signals, Hillary Clinton's campaign
seems to be sending clearer ones today -- that she will gracefully exit

The Associated Press is reporting that she plans to acknowledge in her speech tonight that Barack Obama
has the delegates for the nomination. The AP is also saying advisers
have said that Clinton has made a strategic decision to suspend her
campaign and not formally end it, giving her leverage to negotiate with
Obama on various matters including a possible vice presidential

will congratulate him and call him the nominee."...
