Predictably, in the first 24 hours the message from Clinton is full speed ahead.
Echoing her advisors' comments this morning, she says in an email: "Today, in every way that I know how, I am expressing my personal determination to keep forging forward in this campaign. ... I'm going to keep fighting for what I believe in until every voter has had his or her say."
At a press conference in WV, she reiterates: ""Well, I'm staying in this race until there's a nominee. And I obviously am going to work as hard as I can to become that nominee."
There's a difference between every voter having his or her say, which will have occurred in June, and waiting until there's a nominee, which will occur in August. But the reality is that events will determine what happens and when it happens -- not any standard.
And: You can always get out. But once you get out, you can't get back in. So, her resolve today doesn't necessarily mean she's made a final decision on how to play it.
“It’s still early…. This is a dynamic electoral environment.”
“I feel really good coming off our victory in Indiana… It’s a new day, it’s a new state, it’s a new election.”
And, she still wants a Michigan/Florida ruling, and still talks electability:
"The base I've put together in this primary is a stronger place to start from."
Reports indicate that, at least today, her stump speech did not include any attacks on Obama, and did not include any pitches for a gas tax holiday, which was the centerpiece of her Indiana/North Carolina campaign.
So, at least today, a door is open to ratcheting down the campaign.
