Let it play out

Just a short note, perhaps some pollster, somewhere, will latch onto it, and wonder how many others are of the same opinion.

The Democratic primary season should be allowed to continue.  I don't think Clinton should concede, especially as she does well in the bigger states, and there is at least one more of those.  If I remember correctly, the reason there were all the early primaries is because voters in the late ones felt disenfranchised, so they requested the primary earlier.  Here we actually have a situation where the candidates are close, and where voter opinion can say, and perhaps sway, the choice of candidate.  My impression is that is what the primaries were created for in the first place, so taking away the choice of the last few states to vote when the race is close, is violating the spirit of the primary.  The party will be unified in the fall, so let spring play out.  In truth, Obama isn't doing anyone favors by calling for Clinton's concession.  If anything, it sounds as if he doesn't want to take the chance that she will win more delegates.
