l just spoke with an official of the Democratic National Committee, who asked for anonymity so as to speak candidly, who said we in the media are all missing the point of this Democratic fight.
The delegate math is difficult for Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, the official said. But it's not a question of CAN she achieve it. Of course she can, the official said.
The question is -- what will Clinton have to do in order to achieve it?
What will she have to do to Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, in order to eke out her improbable victory?
She will have to "break his back," the official said. She will have to destroy Obama, make Obama completely unacceptable.
"Her securing the nomination is certainly possible - but it will require exercising the 'Tonya Harding option.'" the official said. "Is that really what we Democrats want?"
The Tonya Harding Option -- the first time I've heard it put that way.
It implies that Clinton is so set on ensuring that Obama doesn't get the nomination, not only is she willing to take extra-ruthless steps, but in the end neither she nor Obama win the gold.
(In this metaphor, presumably, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., would be Oksana Baiul. Does that make former President Bill Clinton Jeff Gillooly?)

How are your knees feeling today, Barry?
Are we talking about knee caps and baseball bats here?
Too bad for clinton her thug Pellicano is on trial and his explosives were siezed.
Guilty. Not Guilty. (L->R)
Oksana was the one who ended up winning the gold at the following Olympics.
Love the metaphor!
You are correct. I was in scan mode and my fingers did the walking too fast. he he
LOL, I have give the Democrat kudos for that. How fitting.
Oksana ended up the winner.
LOLOL
Is she gonna beat Obama up with a hubcap off her house aka the Clinton Doublewide Liebrary and Massage Parlour? (that’s what Tanya did to her boyfriend a few years ago)
Too funny! Watching these two commies fight it out is entertaining.
Hiliarly better be more concerned about God exercising the ‘Robert F Kennedy Option’, as she’s holding RFK’s very same seat as junior Senator from New York.
You know, if you wrote this crap down, and tried to sell it to Hollywood as a soap opera, they’d laugh at you and tell you it was too unbelievable.
Why? Why? Whyyyyyyyyyy!?
LOL. I hadn't heard that analogy, but I was thinking that that building reminded me of something.
What will she have to do to Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, in order to eke out her improbable victory?
She and Bill will do whatever it takes. Bill has to clean up his legacy on Hillary skirts, so to speak.
Yes it does and there's a lot of days left until the convention. There are some real similarities between Hillary and Tonya Harding. LOL!
Yeah. I got it after I hit “post”. We need an edit button.
