The Clintons aren't giving this up. They're just not. So remain respectful of Senator Clinton, but remain wary (especially with respect to Florida and Michigan) of any moves they might make.
Don't let anyone fool you. The public's awareness and diligence on this has had an effect. The deal to pay off Senator Clinton's debts fell through, almost exclusively because Obama supporters raised a fuss as they should have on the internet about doing this.
You just have to be wary. Obama offered to compromise with her on Michigan 69-59 to her advantage. Do you know what her counter-proposal was? She gets ALL of the votes in Michigan. Even the uncommitted. She wants the scoredcard to read 128-0 for her in terms of delegates and literally 330,000 to 0 in terms of Michigan's popular vote. That's beyond ridiculous it's insulting and she knows untrue.
Continue to praise her (as she deserves on this front) for running a tough campaign. But don't fall for the "it's all over" strategy. It's over whenever (and again no one's trying to push her) Senator Clinton, like every other candidate on the earth has had to do at some point, finally concedes.
