No End in Sight... Well, not until Denver. By Rob Kall

It's becoming clear. This will not end in June. It will not end when the superdelegates commit to Obama. It will go all the way to the convention and there, the Clintons will start to REALLY turn on their ugliest efforts to persuade the delegates that Obama has been irreparably damaged. "All the way" takes on new meaning, with Clinton. It means unrelenting, total, scorched earth destruction and devastation of her opponent. It means that when Obama actually gets the backing of enough superdelegates to cross the threshold to win, it will still not be over. Hillary will be insisting that the Florida and Michigan votes must count. She will take this all the way to Denver, no matter what.

As I write this, Tim Russert is saying that if Obama wins South Carolina and Indiana, then "he could put this away." Russert is suggesting that that will have given the superdelegates an excuse, or cover to put OBama over the top. "Otherwise it will go until June." Sorry Tim. It ain't happenin'. She is going all the way, no matter what. If you think Terry McCullough or Bill Clinton or Howard Wolfson are going to EVER advise Hillary to "give up," you are fooling yourself.


It is clear that Hillary and her hangers on will not give up until she is flat out rejected at the convention. She will work to destroy Obama's chances, even after he gets enough superdelegate votes to win. She will go into the Denver convention demanding that Michigan and Florida votes be counted. She will go to Denver showing how effective she has been at destroying Obama, arguing that he held back, was weak. The question is, in destroying Obama, will she also destroy the Democratic party and its chances of taking back the whitehouse? I am hearing from more and more people who WILL go third party rather than vote for her. I know how hard it will be for ME to vote for her, let alone go out and campaign for her. When you're a member of a team, even if you're the quarterback, you don't kill the team's chances, don't injure the quarterback your competing with to be the one to start the game.
...

Get used to it. This is going to persist for FOUR more months. We won't know until November whether clinton's experiment in Right Wing, Rovian Republican political strategy will work. But for many of us, the answer is already in. You don't become the enemy to beat the enemy.....BTW, it's easy to know who wins with this continuing on, ad nauseum-- the MSM, who get four more months of democratic conflict and bloodletting-- and the GOP, which gets four more months of slack, with minimal aggression targeted against McCain.

1. Here's An Idea...

Why doesn't Nancy Pelosi get a couple of people from "the old neighborhood" (if you know what I mean) to visit Bill and Hill and have a talk with them?

This is what it's gonna take. If they don't do something along these lines, Hillary's gonna destroy the party...if she hasn't already.

2. Nancy "Off the Table" Pelosi?

:rofl:

5. Yes, Well...

...it could be done. All it would take is a phone call.

(strokes chin, ala Brando in The Godfather)

3. "It will not end when the superdelegates commit to Obama"

Uh, yes it will.

There wont be any delegates left for Clinton after they commit.

4. Reading your bio you appear to be well involved and

know that this Democratic party is far from idyllic. But it does seem that those of us who care about people over profit gravitate to this organization to provide a more fair and just form of government. I do remember watching the conventions with my parents and discovering who the democratic primary winner was at the convention. It does not appear to me to be a bad thing. The thing I would love to see end is the personal attacks.
