That vote is a plus with the Dim super delegates. You always have to remember who the audience is.
>Look, I got two daughters - nine years old and six years old. I am going to teach them first about values and morals,
I don’t have children but it seems to me if he has a 9 and 6 years old and he is “going to teach” them values and morals - then he is already too late. Especially considering American culture.
Blackmail-—how much dirt was there on the super-delegates in those FBI file? How much more can the Clinton’s private investigators dig up between now and the convention? Combine that with bribery and you have an effective combination (”Listen, if you vote for Hillary we’ll take care of you. How does Ambasador to Portugal sound? Lisbon is beautiful. And your wife will never need to know about all those escorts you’ve been seeing”.

IMHO, they already have the “scandal” info (to me that’s the only explanation for why she’s staying in the race), she’s just waiting for the right time. If they spring it close enough to the convention, then Obama won’t have time to rebound, or to work out a strategy to counter the criticism.
Paging Mr. Gore. Paging Al Gore — please report to the smoke-filled room after that first ballot.
Bullcrap. They are "empowered" to sell their vote to the highest bidder. My congresscreep has taken $18,626 from Obomba and $2,500 from Hitlery. Can anyone guess who he has endorsed?
Comb the archives of Trinity Church for a DVD that shows both Reverend Wright making yet one more of his offensively over-the-top statements ... and showing Senator Obama in the congregation, listening to his preacher.I'm sure the process of acquiring and watching video is an ongoing one in the Clinton camp.
Overall this seems pretty thin gruel for Hillary. I think she would need something really explosive, like an extramarital “affair” with a teenage boy, or something like that.
But for the general election, on the other hand, the list of possible Obama weakness presented here is something the McCain camp should be looking at very seriously. But they probably aren’t. That’s out of keeping with the true spirit of reaching across the aisle.
None of this will work. She’ll have find something a lot more radioactive. Like Barry in bed with Bill. But that will only help in the general election.
For this strategy to work, Obama would have to be involved in something that would be scandalous to Democrat voters and delegates. That rules out treason, adultery, homosexuality, abortion, or anything like that. Maybe Hillary has secret video of him telling veterans he loves America with all his heart and has only been hanging around with the likes of Pastor Wright and Dick Durbin to trick leftists into electing him. That would surely do him in.

If they connect the dots between Barry-O, Rezko, and Auchi he's done.
Even if she doesn’t do this directly, or have democrats do it, the Republicans have to start doing it at some point.
Remember that the SBVT worked over the summer to get the truth out about Kerry.
The Democrats have two candidates who can claim victory at the convention. The superdelegates exist precisely to override the will of the people when necessary.
So if we target Obama over the summer, and manage to score a direct hit, it is the JOB of the superdelegates to step in and pick Hillary.
And if we DON’T target Obama, it will be too late in September.
If Obama was Bill Richardson, this would be really good for the Democrats.
our only saving grace is that Obama is the hero of the black Democrat. So no matter how much he is discredited, they will NEVER believe he has been discredited, nor will they accept others making that determination.
So if Hillary replaces him, we probably will win, because McCain is not someone the black community despises.
Waaaay too late for that.
Every time Hillary has attacked Obama from the right, she has scored - and moved up in the polls.
That assuredly means defense and national security - and that is indeed a viable nuclear option vis-a-vis Obama.
She cannot get to the left of him on social issues and Iraq. He has the left and far left locked up.
But she will probably not exercise the nuclear-option, prefering to subtly not support him in the election - and then go for 2012.
