IMO Hillary is going to do enough to make sure that Obama doesn’t win the first vote of the convention. After that anything goes.
I don’t know if she can do that. I expect Obama will get the nomination, and then an angry Hillary will knock herself out until Election Day working to prevent him from beating McCain.
Actually, Hillary knows Obaam will be the Democratic candidate. Knowing he will be the candidate, Hillary is hoping to make sure Obama DOES NOT win in November.
This election cycle is gone for her, she is now fighting for 2012. If Obama wins, she has to wait until 2016 for her next run. It is all about her. She would rather a republican win so she can run again in 4 years...fine with me ;-)
Do you think Billary are working behind the scenes to get the super-delegates to change their minds?
Also, once Hillary said that, technically speaking, the pledged delegates aren’t legally required to vote for the candidate they are pledged to. So, in the Clintonian world, they might try to pick off enough pledged delegates to throw the convention up for grabs.
