Will Clinton go all the way to the convention. Most likely not, but how can we prove this prior to June 3rd. The proof is in the pudding. Follow me.

The wind was taken out of her last week when John Edwards made his endorsement the day after the West Virginia primary. And, since then, her camp has gone ballistic.
And Geoff Garin, her pollster, told MSNBC that she could campaign beyond the primaries because "there are enough uncommitted delegates left for either candidate to earn a majority."
Mr. Garin added that at some point, one of the candidates would have enough total delegates to win the nomination, "but we have not reached that point yet; we probably won’t reach that point on June 3."
But, the Obama campaign again strikes back with a genius touch. The Obama campaign will begin to campaign in a series of purple states.
In a sign that Obama is shifting more aggressively into general election mode, the Illinois Senator will undertake a tour of three purple states -- New Mexico, Nevada, and Colorado -- on the first three days of next week, I've learned from a senior Obama campaign aide. Obama will visit the Las Cruces area on Monday, the Las Vegas area on Tuesday, and and the Denver area on Wednesday, the Obama aide confirms.

So, what does this mean? Everyday Clinton campaigns she grows more debt.
It is likely that the Clinton debt increased during the first 20 days of May, but there is no way to know how much new debt she added. The Clinton campaign has announced that she loaned herself an additional $1.4 million in May, but that won't appear on the books until the campaign files its June 20 FEC report.
But, if she does not want people to call her bluff, she will have to begin campaigning in other states and begin reopening offices, something she cannot afford to do. I would even go as far to say that the Obama campaign is moving on to other States to intentionally call attention to her inability to campaign beyond June 3rd. And, if Clinton does not follow the lead and begin to campaign in other States next week, then what will people say. She is bluffing.
So, we may not even need to wait until June 3rd to see what her true intentions are, we only need to wait until next week.
