“...the passionate group devoted to nudging Barack Obama to pick one-time fierce rival Hillary Clinton as his vice presidential running mate is over.”
Of course it is. Hillary still intends to be the nominee for 2008.
Has Hellary released her delegates?
Obama is beyond arrogant - he’s a fool AND an A**hole. Just how does he expect to win the National election, when he has just ticked off a very angry, very vocal group of the DNC voting bloc. Has he never heard the term “Hell hath NO fury like a woman SCORNED?” I’ll bet Hillary has to down several Vodkas before she gets up and speaks on Day “2” of the DNC convention.
Hillary very likely WILL be the nominee for 2008.
And I have said it relentlessly for at least six months.
If Obama were somehow arrested, tried and convicted of mass murdering small children between now and the convention he would still get the Democrat nomination.
If the Democrats fail to nominate him for any reason then there is a good chance that a majority of the black voters will finally break from the Democrat plantation - not just for this election but for many elections to come. The Democrats, including Hillary, all know this.
Hillary knows that she will not be the Democrat nominee in 2008. She will do just enough campaigning for Obama to be able to pretend to have supported him, while working behind the scenes to get him defeated. In 2012, she will get the Democrat nomination running on the "I told you not to pick that loser" platform.
Precisely.
