Clinton camp sees swift end to race (Jimmah backs Obama?)
Herald Sun ^ | 9 May 2008

HILLARY Clinton's campaign overnight predicted a rapid end to the Democratic White House race next month as the press read the last rites to her quest to be the first woman president.

With more party elders drifting to Barack Obama's camp and the media declaring the nominating battle all but over, Senator Clinton aides battled back with appeals for voters to be heard and for new donors to come forward.

Even as he vowed no surrender from the former first lady, Clinton campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe said party bosses known as "superdelegates" would coalesce behind a candidate once the final primaries are held on June 3.

"I think it will be all over. I don't see it going to the (August) convention. We'll have a nominee in June," the legendary fundraiser said on NBC television.

"We've all said we'll be together at the end. If Hillary doesn't win, Hillary, president (Bill) Clinton, myself, we'll be over there helping Senator Obama," Mr McAuliffe said.

"And, likewise, Senator Obama will come together to help Hillary if she's the nominee. We'll all be together."

Senator Obama held a private meeting with several undeclared Democratic "superdelegates" in Washington, before rejoining the campaign trial in Oregon over the next two days.

I'm sure that will be a warm and fuzzy meeting! The Bent One, The B*tch, and The Punk.

Great news for all the Liberal Jewish backers of the Liberal anti-Semites who want to trash Israel.

They’ll have to pry the nomination away from her cold dead fingers! There’s no way she’s going to give it up! This brings me to my question, is it possible for her to cross over and run as an independent? Someone help me out please.

I don’t think so. Most likely between now and June 3rd there will be something big making the news that will end Obama’s campaign. Hillary has certainly not played all her cards!

I agree. Prying the Clintons out of the spotlight is not to be taken lightly.

“We’ll all be together.”

First, Jimmah has already made his preference for obama known.
Second, hillary can only be in this to see what might happen and to angle for a VP slot.
Obam isn't going to have the last word about that, although I don't know how that will work out.
Kerry certainly had to be dragged into accepting Edwards, and hillary on the ticket will damn near end McCain before he got halfway out of the gate.

If there is another bombshell, I am surprised she has waited this long. I don’t think there are any scandals that haven’t been brought out yet. Certainly bad things have come out about Obama with her fingerprints on them, but they have not seemed to have much affect on outcomes so far. The time to bring these things up was before he got as powerful as he is now.
