That's big. Sen. Obama has picked up 26 endorsments in the past week and Hillary's last chance is to include Michigan and Florida into the race, the states which violated national party rules.

Now it is time for Sen. Clinton to exit the race gracefully and join the camp Obama to have a Democratic aministration after eight years.
No chance Hillary exits gracefully. She's going to fight this to the bitter end, and the consequences for the party and for Obama be damned.

Besides, if she starts turning up the pressure to have Florida and Michigan seated, Obama will be in the un-winnable position of arguing against counting the votes from those states.

So you can count on at least some portion of the Florida and Michigan delegates being seated.
