5. Well we can't really look at the actual date now can we?

She took it to the Convention and so will Bernie. It's the same.

7. No, she did not "take it to the convention"

She conceded the race on June 7, 2008, and gave Obama a full throated endorsement. Here is the
Endorsement part of her speech:

The way to continue our fight now, to accomplish the goals for which we stand is to take our energy, our passion, our strength, and do all we can to help elect Barack Obama, the next president of the United States.

Today, as I suspend my campaign, I congratulate him on the victory he has won and the extraordinary race he has run. I endorse him and throw my full support behind him.

And I ask all of you to join me in working as hard for Barack Obama as you have for me.

10. Sanders has lost his moment....ego led him astray

[geek tragedy]

12. Clinton did everything in her power to defeat John McCain and she

wasted no time in doing so.

13. Warren is the show this cycle.

Sanders clout diminished to near non-existence after she endorsed.
