Around 2:15 a.m. Eastern, John Podesta made a quick stop at the Javits Center to announce to the die hard Clinton supporters remaining beneath that glass ceiling that the race was too close to call.
Podesta refuses to concede. "We're not going to have anything more to say tonight! Everyone should go home."

Podesta: Yeah, Hillary won’t be conceding anything tonight https://t.co/ELvop31wLA https://t.co/FegOsbVnQ7

“Head home, get some sleep,” he directed, letting supporters and the press know that the campaign would have more to say in the morning. Any chance a concession speech might be among those things?
Podesta saying Clinton won’t concede yet is … amazing.

We faintly recall about a week or two of pundits fretting that Trump wouldn’t concede, thus threatening the very pillars of democracy and sending the nation into violent chaos.

Out: Trump refusing to concede in advance is the end of democracy
In: Give Clinton a month or two to concede, what's the rush?
— John Hayward (@Doc_0) November 9, 2016
That is genuinely pathetic.

HIllary too drunk for a concession speech?
— Phil Kerpen (@kerpen) November 9, 2016
Pretty sure Hillary isn't conceding because she had zero preparations to do so.
