Clinton states intention to take delegate fight to convention

[HAL 9000 96]

Can I say I told you so yet?

Yep...in a way, although I'm counting on a backlash from the remaining uncommitted super delegates who aren't so easily persuaded by dramatics.

Case in point...

David McDonald, an uncommitted Washington state superdelegate who sits on the rules committee, said he wouldn’t be swayed by “mere publicity and a claim to be able to win the states.”

I have been thinking about what she is trying to do. At first I just thought that she wanted the nomination so bad she wouldn't give up until they started shoveling dirt over her. But lately I think she has realized that it isn't going to happen and is activly trying to derail Obama in McCains favor. I think she has it in her head that if she can get McCain elected she can win in 2012. The problem of backlash I think doesn't bother her because she hopes that in 4 years the anger will go away. Not saying I agree with her but it's starting to look like that is what she is up to.

That well could be the case... even though I disagree... not only would it signal the end of her political career but could very much strengthen Obama's position within the party. It would make more political sense for her to try this ploy by dropping out and then not campaigning for him... but as of last night it looks like both campaigns are talking to each other about supporting each other... so it looks like that sabotage tactic will most likely not occur.

Then it wouldn't make sense for her to talk about "taking the delegate fight to the convention". She knows the math like the rest of us do. It's hard to say but I would guess in her twisted thinking taking the issue of FL and MI to the convention gives her the "out" of being able to say she was fighting for the voters in those two states while at the same time thowing the party in disaray. The talk of working with Obama could just be a smokescreen to try and deflect the fallout from her little ploy. I wouldn't put anything past her.

You may be right, but she'd be taking a huge political risk in doing so.

Or she just wants in it long enough to try to recoup part of her campaign debt... which has also been an issue coming up for Obama to help put with should he get the nomination, likely event being as such.

I highly doubt any deception on her part at this time as it would most definitely work against her permanently. Voters do not have short memories anymore- specially after 2000 and 2004.

I saw a new clip today that has Obama over Mccain in the General Election.

Listed Obama 48%

McCain 40%

so I dont think McCain will win in November but that is a long way away

Yep. I've been saying that all along. This election is already over. The GOP will lose a lot of seats in Congress as well...even many Republican pundits realize the odds are against them...and they all have to thank the Bush Administration and it's failed policies.

What I find hilarious is that Obama running a nationwide tv ad (that didn't target a specific state) is now somehow considered "breaking the no-campaign rules". I'm sorry, but how much of a f##king tard do you have to be to make that wonderful leap of logic? Anyone who buys into that is just as f##king stupid as Billary is. Stupid bint.
