For all the talk about the Conservative rebellion in the GOP, people are missing the brewing war in the Democrat Party.

What happens if Clinton Inc loses? Do they quietly fade into the night? Or do they go to court demanding the Democrats seat the delegations from Michigan and Florida, which Hillary won but the DNC stripped of their delegate for moving their primaries?

One would expect most politicians to put party about self and accept the will of the Democrat voters. Anyone believe Clinton Inc cares about anything but themselves? Also, about half the Democrat Delegates are “super” delegates. What happens if Obama wins the primary delegates and the Party gives the nod to Clinton inc anyway via the “Super delegates”?

Going to be an interesting year.

Peggy Noonan had a column the other day asking the question if the Clintons could lose gracefully. We all know the answer to that. This is going to be fun to watch.

Oh, I agree. There is going to be blood on their convention floor if Hillary tries to illegally seat those Florida delegates (as she is now openly calling to do).

Last nights whipping has reportedly sent her advisors into "a panic."

But, she has vowed to "stomp out" the opposition, and her hoofs are the ones to do it.

What happens if Obama wins the primaries but Hillary gets the nomination (and I think it’s probably going to happen)? I’ll tell you what— the older Democrats jump ship to McCain (who a lot of them like) and younger Democrats stay home, particularly the young ones. That means McCain won’t necessarily need the support of the conservative base to get elected.

The difference between the Democrats and Republicans is that the Democrats have two choices: a corrupt, slimy, unlikeable socialist and an inspiring but purposefully vague leftist. The Republicans, it’s McCain vs. “You jerks screwed my candidate!” (and, chances are, the MSM and the primary process probably did).

I fear that the super delegates are going to put Hiliary over the top and even if the Obama contests this legally I doubt he will get anywhere even if he is morally correct.

First off, you know the Clintons won't lose. They have two big aces in the hole. One, the so-called super-delegates. Two, the Florida/Michigan delegates.

Here's a tidbit...last night I watch CNN for a bit. The host, don't know his name, mentioned that Donna Brazille said, on CNN I imagine as she is on Blitzer's show every day, that if the Clintons come out and steal this election away from the will of the people (ie suddenly make Florida count when Obama didn't even campaign there or bribe/blackmail the superdelegates) that SHE will quit the Democratic party.

Donna Brazille folks, you know her....Gore's buddy?

This is gonna be interesting. Got thoughts on the pubbie race...give me a minute.

They are already going after the FL and MI delegates. My guess is they will get them.

An interesting year indeed! I for one am interested in getting to the bottom of why a huge contingent of Fla. rinos from Martinez/Charlie Crist on down to ros lehtinen and much of the elected Cuban contingent all of a sudden decided to back McCain out of the blue.

Who was instrumental in encouraging them to all vote together and all but coerce the massive Cuban vote in Dade county to go for McCain a huge way. Who was instrumental in basically engineering the vote away from Mitt Romney, a man of immense character and ability, to a man almost hated by much of the party's conservatives.

These are all questions I really want answered and well documented and probably won't rest until they are.
