Is it possible?
RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) – Hillary Rodham Clinton will give her post-primary speech in New York Tuesday night, a rare departure from the campaign trail.Staffers who have worked for her on he ground in Puerto Rico, South Dakota and Montana have been invited to attend the event or go home for further instructions, campaign aides said. The New York senator had no other events Tuesday. She planned to address AIPAC Wednesday in Washington.
But she is under increasing pressure to cede the Democratic nomination to Barack Obama after the final primaries. There was a sense of denouement in the campaign. She planned to rally with husband and former President Clinton and their daughter Chelsea in South Dakota Monday night—a reunion usually reserved for election nights.
What’s more, her campaign is asking the staff to turn in their receipts.
Marc Ambinder speculates that this means she’s closing up shop…
If Clinton were staying in the race, there’d be no real reason to collect these receipts now; she’d still be raising and spending money from the same primary campaign account. The campaign is in arrears to the tune of about $11 million.
More as it develops…
