Clinton will Suspend Saturday not Concede, what does it mean?

Senator Hillary Clinton stated that she would be suspending her campaign on Saturday not Conceding. The difference is clear. Had she conceded she would be throwing her delegates to Obama and allowing the process to fall where it may. When one suspends it gives the candidates the opportunity to use their delegates at the convention as leverage to get some of ones issues confronted and passed during the convention process.
One clue that she would be suspending rather then conceding, was that her letter to contributers last night still had the, "Donate" tag at the bottom of the letter. If you concede, you can't fund raise as your campaign is over. If you suspend, you can still raise money. Since Clinton is in Campaign debt, she is still fund raising as if she concedes she loses the ability to recoup any money from her presidential campaign.
Here is another tid bit of news for you. A candidate who suspends can re-open the race. Meaning that it is entirely possible for Hilliary to still open a Battle on the floor of the Convention. Namely the Florida and Michigan issue. She could still work to get super-delegates to support her and fight for the nomination.
While we all hope this thing is over. Their are some woman and other voters who think she wasn't given a chance as media seemed that Race trumped Gender. Anyone who watches MSNBC could see that bias in action.
What will happen in August? I am willing to go out on a limb and say that Hillary wants her health care plan above Obamas. With her number of delegates prevailing I can see her finally getting her health care program in the Democratic Platform.
So Clinton will Suspend not Concede on Saturday. So at a drop of a hat she could be in this thing again. Don't dance around until the end of August.
