going, going, gone, but when?

This seems to be the question on everyone's lips right now. 
Tuesday's results are being interpreted as the end of her bid by most journalists, by the Obama campaign, as well as by some Clinton supporters. This interpretation is certainly reinforced by the fact that her operation is running out of money in a rather severe way. Old news that she has been lending money to her campaign since April has been hitting the headlines again, and one of the first things she said at her victory rally in Indianapolis was that she needed money from her supporters to continue her fight. But donations to the Clinton campaign have been declining for months, albeit with a bump after her Pennsylvania victory. 
What will happen if she wins the primaries in Kentucky and West-Virginia and in all likelyhood she will if she is still running? 
What should we make of her call for unity in her last speech (could she possibly be negotiating a place on the ticket? I don't think that it's very likely) ? 
When do you think she will drop out?
