Excerpt -
Bill and Hillary Clinton no longer control the Democratic primary.There's simply no other conclusion to draw after the party's Rules and Bylaw committee reached a decision Saturday that helps Barack Obama and hurts Hillary Clinton's chances of somehow winning the Democratic presidential nomination.
Clinton, in the words of Florida State Sen. Arthenia Joyner, wanted "it all" at Saturday's meeting. She wanted full delegations seated from Florida and Michigan, with a full vote.
She wanted Obama to get zero delegates from Michigan, since he followed the rules, ignored the outlaw primary and went so far as to take his name off the ballot. (Granted, he did this largely to please voters in Iowa and New Hampshire, but so did Clinton when she agreed not to campaign in either state).
Instead of acquiesing to Clinton's demands, the rules committee awarded full delegations with half votes. And they gave Obama a bunch of delegates from Michigan to boot, rejecting Clinton's argument those delegates should be uncommitted.
So did Clinton get ripped off? Her supporters certainly believed so, shouting their disapproval when the votes on Florida and Michigan were taken Saturday at a Washington hotel.
But let's look more closely. Clintonites on the rules committee actually voted unanimously to support the Florida compromise. ....

Hello, Larry Sinclair!
lol
i just hope its her last hurrah
The Dims will have buyers remorse after McCain wins 350+ EVs in November. They will then turn to H.Clinton in 2012.
She absolutely will make sure Obama does not win.
She may be a rabid Hillary supporter, but her analysis of Obama is pretty much on target. Many Hillary's supporters will vote for McCain just so Hillary has a chance in 2012.
Yes, but they have FBI files, doncha know.
There are surely an awful lot of Democrats who are PRAYING she doesn’t get the nomination, and if she does, isn’t elected. There will be HELL to pay unlike anything we’ve seen before. She has been stabbed in the back by some of her nearest and dearest, and she will never forget that.
“But maybe she’ll come out of the closet.”
And divorce the bent one, perhaps?
So the nuclear option would be a credentials fight? Isn’t it pretty clear that the rules committee is going to back this compromise?
In that case, what’s left? A Clinton-backed riot on the streets of Denver?
You are 100% on mark. A sociopath like her (and Bill) will never quit. My guess is she is thinking about Samson pulling down the pillars in Dagon’s temple. Revenge will be exacted, perhaps in an unusual or unexpected way when it is least suspected.
When it became obvious that "forces" were at work trying to stifle the investigation and sway some witnesses Barrett extended the scope of the investigation. It is widely rumored that the report, if released, would be very damaging to the Clintons.

BTW, Clinton pardoned Cisneros as he was leaving office.
The Klintons will do anything for power, even switch to the GOP!

>>This is her last hurrah. She will hold nothing back.
Perhaps NOW is the time for that birth certificate showing Hussein was born in Kenya or the imam that taught him in Indonesia to step forward.
That smokiest of smoking guns. I pray that some Senator out of revenge or just plain pique at the Clintons outs that document.
There has to be another reason that Obama is being supported by so many Clinton loyalists. Dems don’t care about her (or Bubba’s) morals, ethics, pandering etc.. There’s SOMETHING we don’t know....
And with this loss, it just might happen...Because walking into that Chamber with a "BIG L" on her forehead just doean't become an egomaniac.
