More like one in a million. "So they're saying there's a chance."

Toni Alves, a Clinton advocate, said she attended a Clinton fundraiser Thursday in Palo Alto, Calif., where the senator indicated she thought her nomination would be good for party unity. Alves told CQ Politics that Clinton said she wanted her supporters to have their voices heard and her delegates to have the chance to vote for her at the convention. . .
Will Bower, co-founder of the pro-Clinton group PUMA (“Party Unity My Ass”), said the organization has 200 of the 300 delegate signatures necessary to qualify Clinton for the ballot. . .
Bower said the Daily News report was an attempt by the media to quash the petition drive. “It’s not true. She wants her name to be placed in nomination but she can’t actively ask for delegates to do it because she has suspended her campaign and that would be campaigning. But we can make sure the petition is in place for her to sign if and when she needs to or wants to at the convention,” he said. . .
Heidi Li Feldman, a Georgetown University law professor, co-founded The Denver Group to push a roll call vote on Clinton’s nomination. She says Clinton is in a tenuous political situation, caught between her desire not to undermine Obama’s candidacy or Democratic efforts to win the White House, and giving voice to her supporters and delegates.
The Democratic National Committee and Democratic leadership “has chilled her speech,” Feldman claims. She charges that the Democratic Party leadership spent the entire primary season telling Clinton to get out of the race, “so she has every reason to believe that they’ll start beating that drum again” if she makes any sort of public statement.

More like one in a million. "So they're saying there's a chance."
We want to see a fight.
Probably they have young Barry Obama’s adoption papers from Indonesia in which his adoptive father renounced his new son’s American citizenship for him.
My take on the article was that this is just wishful thinking on behalf of her supporters. They refuse to face the reality that she was a weak candidate.
If she cannot convince the black vote to vote for her, when this election wasn’t supposed to be an election but instead a coronation, she cannot win the White House.
Obama will only serve on term, if elected.
Watch for Hillary to return in 2012. The only way she could have won the nomination was if Obama was not in the race. He will have committed political suicide by 2012, and Hillary will step in to save the party.
I’m inclined to agree with you.
Hillary is just too quiet. It will be the bc or SOMETHING.
If Hillary turns out to be the dumbocrat nom, we are screwed.
She can beat McCain.
I agree, she and Slick are both too quiet.
However, I am no sanguine about her chances. If BO is NOT the nominee, expect most of his black supporters to stay home. Hitlary MUST have them to win; and the RatPack needs them to vote to stay in the majority in Congress.
It is not a slam-dunk for her to be elected... but I still think she’ll do everything she can to try.
Just common sense and an observation based on study.
“her desire not to undermine Obama’s candidacy”
That anyone who has not been in a time capsule for the last year would make this statement absolutely oogles the mind.
Blacks would go berzerk and Democrats would get waxed on election day. No chance.
It’s either that or it’s something similarly devastating. The Clinton MO has always been to go for the jugular. I don’t believe, for a moment, that she has given up — or that Bubba would let her give up.
Hardball is the only game the Clinton’s play and they play it to win every time.
Yep. Makes sense. Except I think she's an opportunist more than a brilliant strategist -- she doesn't have that much control. But hey, if it looks like "I meant to do that!" then it doesn't matter. I just don't attribute nearly as much to strategy as I do to chance and opportunism.
But that's a darned good point, that she can dodge the "real" issues in questions. Excellent observation. It would be the only way she could win, because in the longer view, the media couldn't cover for her even if they wanted, which they wouldn't in short order. She'd flame out spectacularly, and wreak a lot of destruction on the Democrat party, which would be a good thing.
I think Hillary could be the dose of cod liver oil this country needs.
Clintons don't give up this easily. Watch.
If she does get the nomination there will be a stampede of terrified “D” politicians who had turned on her and Bill so as to support Obama. Maybe some will even get out of politics.
The Clinton don’t forget backstabbers and they will wreck vengeance. But without Blacks supporting Hillary, she won’t be elected President. Oh sure, she’ll still be in the Senate and the Clintons will maintain nominal control of what remains of the Democrat Party, but the political landscape will have altered considerably for the Democrats. I will even go out on a limb and predict a Black Separatist Party.
Well, that’s my prediction “IF” Hillary gets the nomination. I’m not saying she will. Obama and his group are mean and vicious. You all think Black Supremists are going to let a big reared blond spoil their chances at power? No way.
Yes. Her magical evil powers will overcome the fact that the majority of delegates are voting Obama. Then L. Ron Hubbard will return and lead exactly 1/6 of us to the planet Blisstonia where even as sprits without bodies men will somehow take 66 virgin wives and conceive alien children that look like John Travolta who will save the universe from the Ferengi Death Star. Then I’ll find several billions worth of loose change in my sofa and buy a small country to escape from newly elected Supreme Overlord Cynthia McKinney and her army of effeminate robot ninjas.
if 2 or 3 states refuse to put him on their ballot over doubts as to his place of birth, they’ve lost. knowing this, the RATS may nom. hilary or a 3rd. guy and hope it works. If he wasn’t born here, you can bet hilary knows all about it.
Only one problem:
She has NO MONEY.
Big disadvantage.
The Clinton’s being quiet is like have a room full of rowdy kids suddenly gets quiet. At first you rejoice at the silence then you wonder what they are up to.
The certificate will mean nothing unless it shows a different woman as his mother.
