She did the opposite. I hope she's doing a lot of reflecting today: http://scotterb.wordpress.com/2008/06/04/emotion-leadership-and-politics/ I think she needs to control the emotions of her supporters, and that required starting to turn down the heat last night.

Wags on MSNBC pointed out that if you want to be considered for the #2 spot, you (1) concede, (2)throw your unconditional support behind the winner. She did neither, only say she was "open" to the idea of veep. Bah, humbug. As Joshua Marshall (?) said, he's likewise "open" to the idea of playing third base for the Detroit Tigers. This could get ugly. Hard to assess yet how much damage she's done the party, much less how much she could still do.

He has been saying that she won't go away easy. That she is self absorbed and it is all about her.

She won't save it in 2012, her political career will be over and no other woman will get a shot at the president for at least a generation.

Her staffers are only being paid thru mid-June, operations are winding down. For a self-absorbed prick like her, that speech *was* a *generous* concession, even if she didn't concede yet. Now she needs to decide if she will keep screwing the party by insisting to be veep on the ticket. When she realizes she that even she can't trade the veep slot for her endorsement, she'll do a proper concession. But she'll still fight for veep behind the scenes. She’s not going to continue.
