Hillary's die-hard warriors are not going away without a fight...
You have to wonder if that New Yorker magazine cover was sabotage by Clintonistas--- in preparation for a Convention coup?

CQ Politics reported Sunday on the efforts of two supporters of Hillary Clinton, who've formed the Denver Group, a 527 organization that will lobby -- among other things -- for Clinton's name to be included in the roll call vote at the Democratic convention this summer.
As the Huffington Post's Tom Edsall notes, the two people behind the Denver Group -- Heidi Li Feldman, a Georgetown Law professor, and Marc Rubin, who works in advertising -- also placed an ad in the Chicago Tribune in which they said, "Senator Clinton's name must be put in nomination. Her supporters must be allowed to make speeches on her behalf of her candidacy. There must be an honest roll call vote, not a symbolic one, so superdelegates can cast their votes honestly, for either candidate, as their judgment, conscience and democratic principles dictate."
In the ad, the two also made repeated reference to "democratic principle[s]" and said, "If the situation were reversed, there is no doubt there would be an outcry if Senator Obama's name were not allowed to be placed in nomination."
These sentiments, which have been echoed throughout the parts of the blogosphere that still cling desperately to hope of a Clinton victory, have some factual problems. First, and most obviously, there's the assumption that Clinton even wants her name in consideration, something that would break with recent tradition and could potentially embarrass Obama and the party. She's made no statement to that effect.
Then, there's the common assertion that Clinton is being treated unfairly, and that keeping her name out of the roll call vote is a radical break with precedent and democracy.

She’s been real quiet hasn’t she. Tell you what, if she pulls that off she’s even craftier than I have given her credit for.
Obama. I have a word of advice for you.
DUCk!
I can't find any info?
Pleas to democracy by this crowd will get no sympathy.
Hillary is going to completely destroy Obama before it's all over.
Waiting for the Clintons to go away is like waiting for someone to leave a table at Starbucks. Except that some people actually do eventually leave their tables.
***who’ve formed the Denver Group, a 527 organization***
Why can’t we pull these organizations out of thin air?
And nice posting John McClane. One of my favorite movie characters.
honest Super delegates? Where would they find them.
It's only fair. What ever became of FL and MI delegations?
It looks like it will be ‘68 again.
Pick your poison ..one Marxist vs. another Marxist. Hitlery may be more shrill ... Hussein is a race baiting dirtbag. Either are a disaster.
It give me no comfort ... Juan McClame is as big a disaster ... to H. E. double hockey sticks with stinking liberal RINOs and those that shove them on us.
Can I write in Pat Paulson ... nope... guess he is dead. Hot dawg ... he’s the best candidate out there.
disgruntled and sick and tired of being sick and tired. RINO’s do it to you. Oh .. guess O’hagel is linking with Hussein on Hussein’s trip to Iraq. Wonder how many other gutless RINO’s would like to go with hussein’s the saviour entourage???
I would not be too sure.
this is going to be fun!
crash and burn.
are you alleging foul play in the death of paul wellstone?
We shall see.
Obamasama should get ready to be crushed like a bug.
Finally, some GREAT news!
1.) Hillary has retained all of her delegates, and surrendered nothing to Obama.
2.) Bubba isn't supporting Obama because he wants to relive his glory days in the White House. What makes people so certain that he is willing to accept such a huge loss?
3.) Carville, McAuliffe, and the rest of Hillary's agents seem to have vanished into thin air. Where did they go, and what are they up to?
4.) This lastest release from "The New Yorker" seems to be a taste of things to come. I have no doubts that this will continue all the way through the convention.
5.) Hillary's fans are going to crash Obama's party next month. I have no doubt that it will be a complete and total circus at least, and a full blown riot at worst.
PS... Remember that secret meeting at Feinstein's house several weeks ago? What the heck was that all about?
