Stealing the Nomination

I wouldn't put it past them.
But if this pushes her over the edge, the Obama camp, and their supporters, really will feel that she stole her victory. They didn't contest those states because they weren't going to count, not because they were so committed to the DNC's procedural arguments that they were willing to sacrifice dozens of delegates to support it. It's as hard as hardball gets, and the end could be unimaginably acrimonious. Imagine if African-American voters feel the rules were changed to prevent Obama's victory, if young voters feel the delegate counts were shifted to block their candidate.
They've made it clear they're willing to destroy the party to get Hillary the nomination, so why wouldn't they try to seat delegates for states where the other candidates agreed to not compete. Hell, she already left her name on the ballot in Michigan. People didn't see this coming?

Politics isn't a dirty game? Certainly you must jest. And if Clinton #1 was such a "clean player", I might add if he'd had been doing more then practicing play time with illegal Cuban cigars 9/11 might not have happened.

On this debate you loose me. I covered these "types" in DC for years and what you see isn't what you get. Wife beating Congressman still going strong.

I like to see a female President, but not at this price. They- -"The Clinton" machine are better suited for L A, not DC. I think our country would fall under a "Hillary-wood." I don't vote on parties, but the records and you can check them all out... votes and all at www.house.gov

Peace Out,
