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.

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.

Agreed. Notice that the polls for him are falling currently, down 52-46 at the moment. (Usually Dems poll high before an election, so they're used to being up 7 points when it's really a dead heat.)

As Obama's polls truly tank, and hit something like 62-36, even the hard-core Obama supporters will see that they have no chance, and they'll beg Hillary to come to their aid, to avoid an e-e-e-e-evil GOP victory (and the MSM will play up all the "terrible" things that "will happen" if the Dems lose).
