All good stuff. But, after all the analyzation and speculation, the one statement that rings true is "WHAT THE FUCK HILLARY!! What in the world do you hope to gain from this?" That really is the question. And the answer is, that she fully intends to gain the nomination. Debate #19 was the set up and she has been forcing the action since debate #20. The Clinton's always have a number of alternatives to what ever the response and unfortunately Barack has been defensive and side tracked from refining his message and presenting the presidential character he was displaying so well. Plus his staff hasn't done him any favors lately either. Back to the point. She's doing what she does best, manipulating and duping the electorate with a smile. Remember, it wasn't just the 28% pure conservative, fundamentalist voter that elected "w" not once but twice. History has not shown the American voter to have learned. To many, including loyal uncommitted deligates, I'm sure it makes perfect sense to nominate the #2 person and have Barack the Veep. After all, I can't imagine an administration with him as President and Hillary as the Veep. This is all very crazy. So, crazy is as crazy does. The only logical solution is for Hillary and McCain, "a good friend." McCain a "distinguished man with a great history of service to our country." And she thinks, "it's imperative that each of us be able to demonstrate we can cross the commander-in-chief threshold," (it would really be Bill's due for them to do it in the Whitehouse)Hillary should propose McCain as her running mate and they can satisfy the moderate Rebulican electorate. After all, as portrayed in her Jack Nickelson spot, military men like saluting women. Barack can then continue on, choose his own running mate, and while Hillary and John are crossing the threshhold, win an election and get on with the most important four years in our nations history.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1002591254802228908.post-79479771255107690202008-03-07T22:17:00.000+00:002008-03-07T22:17:00.000+00:00On the question of superdelegates.

Obviously Tuesday had some effect even though Obama really won Texas. Still, I believe instead of a one time block vote, those delegates will be endorsing in trickles of 5 every few days. Expect to see that, so it don't appear they are 'ganging' up.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10187224830239782587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1002591254802228908.post-10581929770421537712008-03-07T21:12:00.000+00:002008-03-07T21:12:00.000+00:00On the superdelegates:I think it's important to no...On the superdelegates:<BR/>I think it's important to note that those that are counted for either candidate are not committed to vote for that candidate. It's just a count news agencies are using based on who's endorsed who. I think it likely if at the convention it is apparent that Obama will win, many of those who endorsed Hillary will vote for him because they don't want to create controversy and of course, want to be in good standing with their nominee so they have a shot at gaining a position of some sort. (although I'm not sure how much Obama will play to that) <BR/><BR/>What is really are the ones that are jumping back and forth. If you endorsed Hillary you endorsed Hillary. Bad choice, you can still vote for Obama at the convention (please do!) but don't be like the kid in elementary school who showed up with a Troy Aikman jersey after super bowl XXX, a Brett Favre (*tear*) jersey after XXXI and a John Elway jersey after XXXII.JJ Berghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04085150613480489655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1002591254802228908.post-62246933967161724722008-03-07T19:17:00.000+00:002008-03-07T19:17:00.000+00:00You're link got truncated but I found the article ...You're link got truncated but I found the article <A HREF="http://www.tnr.com/politics/story.html?id=ba30ff16-a5af-4035-a883-cf15ffee406c" REL="nofollow">here</A><BR/>very good readJJ Berghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04085150613480489655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1002591254802228908.post-25711658853461100742008-03-07T14:31:00.000+00:002008-03-07T14:31:00.000+00:00The Clintons are notorious for playing dirty, self...The Clintons are notorious for playing dirty, selfish politics. They very much only care for themselves. Hillary chose to stay with Bill after Monica's gate only because she could ride his coat tail to become President. Anyone who vote for her and really believe that she care for the country, for the people, for her party must be a fool. Yet it seems there are lot of fools in the US nowaday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1002591254802228908.post-90729196042306925922008-03-07T09:08:00.000+00:002008-03-07T09:08:00.000+00:00There is a good article in TNR today about this.
