Because they think he's a 'Rat who may be electable. 
Why is the press pushing this guy on us?? Something stinks.

They know damn good and well that Hillary is unelectable. They're trying to game the system so that Obama wins the Rat nomination, and can usher in an era that hasn't been seen since Camelot. I say, let them, the truth will "out" Obama during the general election campaign. And mark my words, Hillary will go as low as she needs to, to attempt to defeat him.
My dream scenario is that Hillary limps into the Rat convention with less than a majority, and has to stomp all over the other also-rans for a victory on, say, the fifth ballot. The black supporters of Obama refuse to work for her, or even vote for her in November, after what she did to their homeboy.
