"Resistance is futile. I will be nominated." "Resistance is futile. I will be nominated."Harold McEwen Ickes—”technically a volunteer for the campaign known as Hillary for President”—is “Adviser to the Campaign Manager” for Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.)’s 2008 presidential campaign, The Politico reported April 18, 2007.
Ickes’ firm—Ickes and Enright Group—is part of Washington D.C.-based lobbying firm Griffin Johnson Dover & Stewart. Ickes’ “lobbying clients have included a nursing home association, the insurance company Equitas, the Service Employees International Union and a subsidiary of Verizon communications.”
“Perhaps Ickes’ largest-scale project is Catalist, a private company born out of his open distrust in the ability of Democratic Party chairman Howard Dean to build a voter database to rival that of the Republicans. Ickes is president of the company. ...
“Catalist had 19 clients last electoral cycle, many of them union-backed political operations and advocacy groups, such as the Sierra Club and the AFL-CIO, Ickes said. ... Adding a bit of delicacy to his position, Catalist is in talks with the Clinton campaign as well as rival Democratic primary campaigns.”

If the dems screw Obamma many if not most of his voters will refuse to support Mrs. Clinton. As well they should. It would be an empty victory for the Clinton crime syndicate.
“selected not elected” ...
THE FIX IS IN
.
This is hilarious. You could not write a better script.
OK, how many of you Freeper Texans are voting for Hillary in the March primary? With her negative factors, I think that it is the winning strategy for a McCain (least of 3 evils) victory??
for later
WOW! I wonder how many superdelegates will show up at the convention with broken legs and shattered kneecaps.
Dirty little Democrat Party secret: No way the white males that dominate the Democrat Party will let "it" happen. Minorities are for votes, not to have actual power.
If Obama has a legitimate lead in electoral votes, and the superdelegates decide for Hillary!, there’s going to be trouble.
Hugh and Series trouble.
Well there ya have it Democrats........yer votes mean nothing now , nor will they later.......LOL !
"A campaign boss is looking for three delegates to the presidential convention, delegates that are too stupid to discover that his candidate, Hammond Egger, is a crook. Enter the stooges as janitors sent to clean the man's office. After some of their antics, the boy's suitability for the job is apparent and they're hired. The stooges go to the convention, but double cross their boss and vote for another candidate, Abel Lamb Stewer. When the boss and his muscle man come looking for revenge, the boys defeat them in a wild fight."

How very ironic!
That the Dems do it to themselves!
It makes our own problems with McCain seem almost bearable.
“We’re going to win this nomination,” Ickes said, adding that they would do so soon after the last contest on June 7 in Puerto Rico. “You’re not going to see this go to the convention floor because we’ve paid off the Super Delegates big time. They’re smart enough to know that taking care of Hillary! should be their first priority.”
