The Super D's need an intervention. Someone needs to tell them what's on the line (the GE, Universal Health Care that works, a strong fighter for Dem values in the White House, a person with SOLUTIONS, not rhetoric, for our country's problems), and that if they botch this up, a large group (a majority, if you will) of their 'family' will leave them to their own devices.

Only today, listening to television, this is the first time I got the feeling that the stations are starting to realize this isn't going to be a walk in the park for Obama.  

How refreshing and very, very unexpected.

Probably hasn't changed what will happen this week.  By Friday Obama will at least the required 2118.  By Tuesday of next week Hillary will suspend her campaign.

What choice does Hillary have?  Run TV ads all summer blasting Obama?  She doesn't have the cash for that and she isn't going to do something that cynical.   There are no more campaigns.  There are no more debates.  There are no more primaries.  

Assuming the supers fall behind Obama this week, which seems to be what is happening, then there is no point in her continuing to make her appeal to them unless the political landscape changes.

After those 27 declare, the rest have the easy job of saying "well, it's decided, so sure, I'm going to go ahead and go with the winner now."  And NOBODY wants to be known as that final tipping vote, so they're waiting to cast their vote until it's totally obscured, and they won't be held accountable.  

Heck Jesse Jackson needed 1200 delegates and HE took it to the convention. You can't tell that to the kidz because some of them weren't born yet! I bet they are ones shouting loudest.

That has to help Hillary. If Obama's limping to the finish line tomorrow he'll be hobbled by McCain though the summer. It'll be his own fault too, because he anointed hisself before the convention.

1. Hillary will not cancel, concede or otherwise relenquish her delegates / votes; she probably WILL put her campaign on hold so she can cut down on the staff size, save some money, and breathe a deep breath for the second round. Which is:

2. This is where her ability to convince and win over others will come in handy; the Super D's. She will probably spend between now and August behind the scenes, approaching Super D's, getting their ears and providing the facts on hand. Bill and Chelsea are more than enough power to keep Hillary's campaign alive and fresh on the road.

I do not have any respect for the DNC - most of all Nancy Pelosi. She rode in on the back of several women and have tried to destroy Hillary. If anyone thinks this woman hasn't chosen a nominee is ludicrous. Ted Kennedy is very ill and the disappointment I feel toward him is only surpassed by the last statement I heard him say about Hillary.

I will never vote for a republican, but I have no respect for any of the democrats who have actively tried to destroy the Clintons. Obama is a joke - he has not been able to even speak to a Black issue.
