After months of primaries, it appears that the fight for the Democratic nomination is finally starting to come to an end. The last primaries will take place tomorrow and the Clinton campaign is starting to make statements which indicate that they know they have lost. While stumping for his wife in South Dakota President Clinton said:
“This may be the last day I’m ever involved in a campaign of this kind,”
This of course shows that Bill knows Hillary is at the very least on the brink of defeat. However, it also shows that Bill will not campaign for Senator Obama when he becomes the Democratic nominee(possibly fueling interparty divisions.) Senator Clinton also made a comment which is more definitive than that of her husband:
“I’m just very grateful we kept this campaign going until South Dakota would have the last word,”
Kept. She referred to her campaign in the past tense. I could just be reading too much into her phrasing, but it seems fairly significant to me.
