If they turn off over half the black voters by their treatment of Obama then they’ve lost a lot of the votes needed to win.

It's going to be interesting, indeed. I'm waiting to see if Hillary wins the delegates while Obama wins the popular vote. It may be unlikely, but if it happens, how will the anti-electoral college Dems explain that one away.

The more I see this unfolding the more I see the heavy hand of the Clinton machine at work. They know that decided victory by Obama, fueled by black voters, could bring about a strong backlash by white voters. It’s a calculated risk for them. Played correctly the hand will drive more white voters to the polls to avenge Hillary than it will drive away black voters incensed by the textbook Clinton treatment of Obama. It’s risky, but I think they had determined it is their best plan.

It’s going to be nasty, and they run the very real risk of overdoing it and alienating many who have supported her and Bubba in the past. Most voters have a limit beyond which they will not go to support someone. So far the Clintons have not reached that point, but they are getting perilously close to the edge. Bubba is a risk taker and from watching him over the years it’s obvious to me that he enjoys the danger of risk. It salves his ego to get as near the edge as possible then appear to save the day because of his winning ways. One misstep out there though and it’s over the edge and down to the rocks below.

It’s going to be quite a show for those of us gathered back here, watching from our place safely behind the warning rope.
