It makes perfect sense to wait. It's already over for her and she knows it in terms of the nomination. Nothing at this stage can subvert his lead in the popular vote and delegates. The theory (not mine) is that she will help sink him for the GE. McCain wins and she will position herself for the next run as BO will be unallectable and the general population would not want four terms of Republican presidents. I think for this to make sense she would have to refuse the Vice-Presidency in order to distance herself from the fall-out.
I think Obama’s been on the down low and probably has a trophy or two walking around.
I have also thought long and hard about this...my belief is that the only reason Obama was a viable candidate is that he came on the political scene in 2004.....too late for her to have the FBI file access-access that she used 1992-2000 to obtain the dirt on EVERYBODY in the USA who is anybody.....this includes Richard Mellon Scaife and Rush Limbaugh. I think Obama was an accident...she was supposed to have run in 2004 and did’nt want to lose to W.
I think the whole thing might be simpler than a lot of folks think. You have to remember that the Clintons are people who have never done an honest day's work in their lives. If Hillary Clinton is staying in this race long after she's a viable candidate, it's simply because she's looking for some serious concessions from the Democrat Party in exchange for her cooperation.
