Does the Hillary Camp Have a Plan?
I want to be the Devil's Advocate here. All of this talk about pledged delegates, Super Delegates, half-vote delegates, etc. means NOTHING until the votes are cast on the convention floor. Hillary DID NOT relinquish her delegates to Obama, which wouldn't really make much difference because the delegates are only obligated by "promises" - nothing more.
As we know, several bombshells have exploded around Obama in the past months. The Rev. Wright, Michelle's new found "pride" to be an American, Father Pfleger, his connection with Rezko, his resignation from the church (20 years too late???), quotes from his published books, and the list goes on. The mainstream media has managed to sweep all of this under the carpet. Pooh-poohing or ignoring much of it as "irrelevant", out of context, "not the way he REALLY thinks", etc. What do we really, REALLY know about Obama, other than he has been recognized, without question, as the MOST liberal person in the Senate?
So, let me paint my hypothetical picture. One or more HUGE bombshells are going to be dropped just before the convention that will make the previous ones seem like firecrackers, and the Super Delegates will run from Obama like rats from a sinking ship. (Hmmm? Rats seems an appropriate term.) Does anyone really think that the Clintons are going to give up so easily? Especially, Slick Willie. He hates to lose.
Anyway, as I said, this is a hypothetical picture, but . . .
