Behind the scenes, I believe that Clinton operatives are pleading with, intimidating, and bribing Super Delegates who have announced for her. They are reminding the SDs that the Clintons have raised huge amounts of money for their campaigns. They will also remind them that the Clintons never forget.

So the fix is in. I am not suprised. If Hillary ‘wins’ this way, however, Obama supporters will stay home in droves. This may have an effect on down ballot races, ya think?

You just wait until Oprah Winfrey finds out about this. She’ll straighten those cheating evil dumbocrates out.

Wait till the Barry Obama supporters get wind of this one.

I mean, what’s the point? It looks like its in the bag for the Hildabeast.

Good old machine politics - and yes, evidently some of the younger Dems are learning about it for the first time here. Rule 1 - Hillary wins. Rule 2 - in the event she doesn't, rule 1 applies.

It will depend largely on the MSM as to which of the two principal Democratic candidates gets the nod. They desperately and openly desire a "media" president, which Bush is most certainly not (as some of us have lamented on a regular basis). "Framed" properly Hillary's putsch might go as unremarked as Mondale's did, especially if she offers Obama the consolation prize of a Vice-Presidential nomination. That's what I'd be telling her at the moment if I were her campaign manager. And the way things are going that slot might be opening soon.

Not that I'd prostitute myself for money. Not even lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and...hmm...

The Clintons are holding down a BLACK guy!!

These items from the FBI come in real handy with the Super Delegates.

I made this same point earlier in opposition to the Dick Morris column writing Hillary off for dead. Nice to see the press catching up with me.

“He fails to mention Hillary still holds the gonads of the DLC. She is ahead in the delegate count even with Iowa. Superdelegates not elected in state primaries are mostly DLC or DLC proxies.”

She’s gonna blow ... When the nutroots find out, ashtrays won’t help.

Interesting piece. There’s little doubt that Hillary has “reached out” to these SD’s. Probably gave each one a little Christmas present, wrapped in a map of Ft Marcy Park.

Ping! Doctor!
