I love the Clintons for what they've done IN THE PAST, but the future needs to go to Obama.<BR/><BR/>The Clintons have shown themselves to be completely ruthless; I doubt they would pause before using absolutely any dirty trick to secure the nomination for Hillary. It's this year or never for Hillary.<BR/><BR/>There was <A HREF="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lanny-davis/the-superdelegates-alw_b_86567.html" REL="nofollow">a HuffingtonPost post today by Clintonite Lanny Davis</A>, Bill Clinton's one-time W.H Special Counsel and "a member of the DNC from Maryland in 1982 when the first superdelegates were created."<BR/><BR/>He writes, "if independent superdelegates now seem problematic after 26 years to some people, then let the debate begin about eliminating them. But only after the 2008 Democratic Convention - not before."<BR/><BR/>The guy justifies the very backroom manipulation you write about! Quote Davis: "... the 'smoke-filled rooms' of Democratic Party leaders had led to the nomination and election of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Adlai Stevenson and John F. Kennedy. Not bad."<BR/><BR/>It may be that Obama doesn't stand a chance.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13718601770472939313noreply@blogger.com
