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.
