I agree with Rush. The Hillary and Obama race is being staged. If Obama was not in the race, would that mean all the Obama money would go to Hillary? So istead of 44 million, she would have 69 million in one quarter? Not likely, but rather the George Soros types are splitting their support between the two candidates to create the illusion of a horse race.

..and a ‘horse race’ gets a lot more media time than one person coasting along..

Look for a Hillary/Obama ticket for 08..

I agree with you. Obama is a creation of the Clintons. (He wasn't a keynote speaker at the last Democrat Convention by chance.) With Clinton and Obama in the race, there appears to be a competition, so naturally money appears in order to fuel it. This sucks all of the oxygen out of the room for any other Dem candidate, leaving everything to Hillary once Obama's fade is managed.

Hillary's ultimate success, however, depends on American voters being fooled by a combination of money and the main-stream media.

Rush pegs this, quite reasonably, at 80% probability.
