(From today's WSJ)
For those who can't handle the suspense, we fast-forward the campaign to June 2, in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. A wire-service reporter, who has covered the Clinton campaign for 17 months, files this story:
Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York has decided to end her historic quest for the Democratic presidential nomination. The decision comes one day before the South Dakota and Montana primaries, and a day after she received an extraordinary petition from senior members of the Democratic Party.
Wonder Land columnist Dan Henninger speaks to Kelsey Hubbard about Hillary Clinton's inevitable concession speech, as well as her future in the Democratic Party. (May 22)
The petition, asking her to withdraw, was signed by every Democratic member of Congress, every Democratic governor, all current and former elected Democratic officials still living, the trustees of the estate of Martin Luther King Jr., and all but one member of the New York Times editorial board. The superdelegates remained undecided.
A draft of Mrs. Clinton's concession speech was obtained from persons close to the campaign. It is to be delivered tomorrow evening in South Dakota at the Sheraton Sioux Falls convention center.
