For those hoping that Hillary would graciously accept the reality that she isn't going to win the nomination...don't. During a conference call this morning, the Clinton campaign said that they will continue to fight for the nomination because, well, because. The (long) hour boiled down to, she has the best chance to beat McCain, she wins all the really important states, and darn it, white people really like her.

There were two rather comical moments to break up the monotony of listening to talking points being regurgitated for the umpteenth time. The first was when Howard Wolfson said, when talking about Florida and Michigan:

This is a country of 50 states.

Coming from the campaign that has spent the last three months dismissing as irrelevant any state that Clinton lost, this was laughable. But when Wolfson was asked about overnight fundraising numbers and said that he "hadn't had a chance to look," well, besides being laughable, I think it's safe to say that that was a boldfaced lie.

So it's on to West Virginia.
