Few realize how dangerously close America came to discarding its way of government during its last presidential cycle. Had Al Gore not finally conceded America could have entered very murky territory. The kind of territory where power isn't voluntarily handed over. However, an even more dangerous event is on the horizon.
Hillary could well be on a path that could prove to be very dangerous. It's hard for most to understand how badly the Clintons want back in power. It might well be the Florida and Michigan fiascos were engineered by the Clinton campaign in conjunction with the DNC (which will eventually capitulate to the Clintons commands for those precious delegates) as a sort of backup plan. It looks like they will indeed be calling in those markers. However, that is not true danger as undemocratic as that maybe.
The Clinton campaign could be contemplating "stealing" the nomination from Obama using very undemocratic tactics such as what we see happening with Florida and Michigan, and it would seem they are now lobbying delegates of all kinds, including those that originally went for Obama. So what's the danger?
The Democratic Party is supposed to be party of the minorities, especially black voters. However, the Hillary camp, if it succeeds, will clearly have stolen the nomination, and likely the Presidency from the very first black candidate, Barack Obama. The black voter will see this for what it truly is, a Good Ol' boy network yanking the carpet out from under their feet, against their will, discarding their votes, and what will ensue will be cataclysmic rioting and outrage as has not been seen in America before. The black voters of America will have been shafted by their own party and this will cut very deeply. It will truly be the crime of century.
The Clintons are desperate for the White House, while much talk has been made about a brokered convention, I dare say that could be the best outcome, indeed, a far more dangerous event is looming on the horizon, one that could be avoided if a sense of Honor, Democracy, and Fair Play were simply obeyed.
If Caligula can put his horse in the Senate, we can put a horse’s ass in the Whitehouse.
Er, we’ve already done that repeatedly.
I could be wrong but I just can't see them pulling it off.
I disagree with you. I do not think anything that HRC does in the context you mention will damage our country.
The Democratic Party yes, the country no.\
And if she does as you suggest most blacks will leave the party and vote Republican.
I my self want to see a 3rd party run a true conservative for POTUS.
It’s wonderul to watch Hillary and Bill force-march to their own Appomattox.
...sorry, those qualites with the Clintons never existed in the 1st place. To believe or imagine otherwise is pure folly.
I agree with you. The Clintons do not have the ability to pull this off. They MIGHT succeed against someone like John Edwards, but they cannot stop Obamania.
Agree. "Heading" or even "hurtling" would have been better.
If it takes this for the black community to see how they have been used and abused......... I say bring it on. It has been a long time coming.
Former govenor Doug Wilder warned them of “chaos” at the convention if she goes the superdelegate way.
Agree 100%
Thank you. (jeez.)

“...but the German’s didn’t..”
“Shhh, he’s on a roll.”
Yes, even the MSM would like to forget they ever nominated John ‘the F word’ Kerry.
The blacks are deserting the Rat Plantation.
Soon the hispanics will, too.
It’s up to us to welcome them to the party, show them we are the only way for them to advance their cultures.
And hold up New Orleans as an example: what happens when you are chained to the democrat plantation.
the (jeez) was meant for the popcorn-poppers, not you. :-)
And when the riots are over, the same Philadelphia precincts will have 99% turnout to “vote” for the beast.
Hillary contemplates the unthinkable: dropping Bill for Janet Reno.
