Obama is a well-designed distracter for Hillary??????
We all remember taking those exams for rate/rank advancement when we were on active duty? Remember there was always an answer that was just close enough to the right answer to confuse you. Either you knew the right answer or fell for the "distracter"
Well Barrack Obama, in our opinion is the well placed democratic distracter for the Clinton machine. He always has been. He was never intended to win the nomination. The DNC knew that no matter how great an orator or how clean he was, he would lose in the general election. Not enough experience and negative as it may be, the honest truth, America is not quite ready for a Black president. Especially one named Barack.
So? The plan? Just playing out as they designed it. For a bonus, it will solve the super delegate problem that would surface if the convention gave the nomination to Obama based on the popular and Hillary comes in with the winning number for Super delegates. Remember--a "Super Delegate" is one who is party faithful, party follower and party directed. That's how they got elected and in office.
This solves the question of splitting the party prior to the convention because......Obama drops out just before. Remember, we are talking about Hillary and the Clinton machine. People do NOT get in their way. (Remember Vince Foster? Ron Brown?) The only problem then is that the Obama supporters are more likely to cross over and vote McCain, not Hillary. We'll have a proposal on how that will be taken care of next week. The Reverend Wright situation may have an interesting ending also. Depending on how big a problem he remains to the DNC. As of the date of this writing, the good Reverend is nowhere to be found. Best guess is a trip to Africa came about just before Obama's landmark speech on their association. Remember Ron Brown was on a fact finding mission when his plane went down? Well if I were the black minister, I'd be out kicking the tires on the cars I rode in and looking close at the wings on the plane that has been provided for my trip.
Politics. Wild, wild wild and never dull. After working on vets bills and trying to get benefits passed into law for the last eight years, watching slippery Congressmen make back room deals to keep bills off the floor or to kill them a slow death by locking them in committee, writing action adventure novels is dull work
