I read the headlines last night and nearly fell out of my chair:

BBC: Clinton will quit and back Obama

NYT: Clinton Ready to End Bid and Endorse Obama

And then I heard a report on NPR that threw me for a loop this morning. All Things Considered reported that Clinton did not technically quit. She did not technically endorse Obama. She did not let go of her superdelegates.

What is she doing then???

She’s suspending her campaign as of Friday, “supporting” Obama for the sake of party unity, and holding onto her superdelegates to keep all of her “options” open for the fall.

I’m thinking of Jesus saying, “Let your no be no and your yes be yes.” Is she quitting? Kind of. Is she still holding on to her bid? Kind of. Is she confusing us and giving Democrats an ulcer? Well, that’s the only thing that’s certain.
