Tremendous unease out there on the Dem side. They are trapped. They can’t get rid of Obama, but they can’t win with him either.

They CAN get rid of him... it just needs to be done carefully, and allow Hillary to retain those monolithic black votes. They'll find a way to do it, and probably within the next 3-4 weeks.

He can always claim to have a stress-related illness that requires his hospitalization.

That's what the disgraced Korean stem cell researcher did. A second look for Hwang Woo Suk 12/16/2005

The way to do it is by making it look like another unforced error by the Obama camp rather than any scheme of theirs.

It would be very subtle. Perhaps along the lines of maneuvering a panicking Team Obama into picking Chuck Hagel, which ostensibly would be to shore up his national security image, but in fact would trigger a revolt of the superdelegates. Allowing her to be on the ballot next week may go down as one of the most colossal blunders in American political history, right up there with Jefferson picking Aaron Burr as his running mate. Thus I would put the chances at Hillary attempting some Machiavellian 11th hour attempt to snatch the nomination back on the convention floor at 5%. Not likely at all, but I would have said 0% last week.

It’s impossible, I’m here to tell you. The black Dems I’m around HATE Hillary and absolutely will revolt if she’s the candidate.
