Why won’t Hillary just concede that she has lost and pull out of the race? Why does she persist in keeping her delegates in line for her and not releasing them to Obama? Why does she feign party unity while, in fact, undermining it?
The Clintons never do anything without a lot of thinking and planning. There is no benign explanation for her maneuvers. They have several options that they are deliberately keeping open by their increasingly awkward positioning. Here’s what they’re up to:
1. The Obama Stumbles Option
As Hillary says, June is “early” in politics when the convention is not to be held until the end of August, unusually late for a Democratic conclave. And, as Tip O’Neill says “a week is a long time in politics.” So is three months.
Rumors abound about incriminating material on Obama, the potential for misstep is amplified now that he adjusts to a new task of taking on McCain, who knows how many other preachers there are in the closet? Hillary’s skilled force of private detectives, who we once called the secret police, are doubtless diving into garbage dumpsters all over America to come up with whatever they can.
Hillary wants to be there to exploit any mistakes. She will be watching and waiting. Suppose Obama flubs a line on the campaign trail or damaging material emerges from the Rezko prosecution? Hillary will indicate her continued availability as an alternative. Remember that superdelegates can change their minds anytime they want to. Now they are leaving Hillary to back Obama, the winner, but they could easily go the other way. By not releasing her pledged delegates, she remains within striking distance of the nomination if an Obama faux pas leads to an exodus of superdelegates from his camp.

Bubba wants to be an ambassador
Hillary wants to open a SPECIALTY laundry. YOu guessed it...Mens' shirts!!
Let them keep digging, I am sure they will find something more, and I will eagerly await it no matter who finds it. It won’t take much, but something new every few weeks should do the job, he did take a hit when the Rev Wright stuff started, I am sure there is more out there..bring it on.
What’s up her sleeve? Unshaven armpits and lots of flab.
Dagger, gun, poison, blackmail, video, etc.
She has magician sleeves.
I agree with most of his evaluation - he knows the hilderbeast well.
However, I can't see her as wanting the all but vacuous position of VP. She wields more power as a senator.
I agree that she's hanging on in case of a final one-straw-flaw too many for the obamama - but otherwise, I wonder if she won't hold out to sell her delegates and endorsement for a much bigger fish than VP - like a spot on the SCOTUS or AG or some such?
Plan 9 from Outer Space has not gone into effect yet. Wait until 8/8/08.
“What’s up Hillary’s sleeve?”.....
I venture, steel wool armpit hair?
Really? I think she'd love to be president of the Senate...
However, I can’t see her as wanting the all but vacuous position of VP. She wields more power as a senator.
As VP if there were to be an Arkancide who would be the president?????
A few weeks back some psychic in England predicted that the muslim Obama would be assassinated. Hillary is even thinking along those lines by recalling Bobby Kennedy.
A: "Knives and stabbing weapons!"
A tentacle?
“However, I can’t see her as wanting the all but vacuous position of VP.”
Put this “wanting” in the context of her remarks regarding June and RFK and the trail of arkancide behind her.
If the tape exists and Republicans control it they won't release it until much later. But if someone else has a copy they probably have different motives and plans.
What happens next depends on who you think they are.
More White House silverware.
A pack of non filter Lucky's or Camel's most likely.
