Obamentum takes over, but Hillary is fighting to the end, in her own, special way...UPDATED
Posted by kotang at 7:25 AMWell, there's no bookmarks in analog airspace, and I can't track it down. But we know this...Hillary is in panic mode. There's probably dishes flying, Bill's ducking into a singles bar, Chelsea's staying with friends...and Queen Clinton's throne is slipping, slipping from her grasp. Desperation means dirty tricks..
"There is a more sinister demographic fact that is causing a collective shudder to pass down the Democratic leadership. Mr Obama is consistently trailing Mrs Clinton among white voters and, in the South, white men.Play such a card? Bill already plays racist cards.
"The Clintons would not dare play such a card, even if they wanted to, particularly after the racially charged ructions of South Carolina last month."
Now, superdelegates to the rescue? The crème de la crème of the Democratic party, the elitists, the party fathers. How will the liberal base of the Democratic party, the leftists, take to a bunch of old white guys picking their favorite candidate over Obama? That should be a pretty good fight. I wonder if the fervent base will realize that Hillary is The Chosen One, and Obama is an interloper in these superdelegate's plans for their own success?
My prediction: If Hillary can't win Ohio and Texas, or get Michigan and Florida delegates seated, then superdelegates will put her in.
And, as usual, to hell with the masses.
From comments on my original "Obama Superstar" post, Steve at HamieNet leaves lyrics to "Obama Superstar" (there's video there as well) and this excellent midiwork of the original "Superstar" (one of my favorite '70's double albums...I still have it!)
Thanks, Steve!
