Reading the Mixed Signals and a Clinton Defection in the Works

So everyone's all up in arms trying to explain the mixed signals coming from the Clinton campaign and media, but the simplest explanation is quite clear.  Clinton will be conceding at least something tonight, and someone on her campaign leaked this information.  Clearly, NO campaign wants that information leaked while voters are going to the polls, so they had to counter it immediately to put out the fire.  

Only time will tell, but Harold Ickes' statement to MSNBC indicates this may be what is going on:

Clinton senior adviser Harold Ickes has told at least one top Clinton backer in the House that "it's over," according to an aide that was privy to the conversation.
"Per the aide, Ickes told the Democratic member yesterday: "It's over and the end will be gracious, beginning with HRC's comments at Baruch College tonight. This will be over by Thursday at the latest."

This is essentially Al Giordano's take on the matter, and he leaves us with a scoop on a Clinton defection tonight in St. Paul:  

Obama will be introduced by St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman, a Clinton supporter that will officially declare for Obama at that moment.
Everyone - The undisciplined mixed signals from the Clinton campaign today - "she's out! no, she's in! no, no, she's out!" - indicate, to me, that somebody among the ten or so recognized top insiders has already, clandestinely, hopped onto the Obama bandwagon, or is at least trying to ingratiate himself to it by leaking this stuff to AP.

So put your chicken little costume away, and enjoy the day.
