Race trumps gender, bigtime in the democratic party (this has got to be be just KILLING the Clintons beause when you get right down to it, they CAN'T do ANYTHING about the race versus gender dynamics of this race for the nomination, and the press is also no longer giving them their accustomed free ride).

If Obama shows up at the convention with more won delegates than Hillary, the superdelegates will not dare hand the nomination to Hillary. The democratic party typically needs to max out the black vote to win. They cannot afford to alienate black voters with an elitist handover of the nomination to Hillary if Obama is ahead in won delegates. The possibility of significant "unrest" if they were to do so is also very real, and would doom a Hillary candidacy.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see her end up in a full out convention floor fight, tear gas, clubbing's, chairs being thrown, etc... (metaphorically speaking of course) but she has had access to power too long and is not bashful about using it.

And look who the military -industrial dudes have been throwing money at. Last time I checked, she was receiving big defense bucks at a 3 to 1 ratio. And Wall Street loves her, both free trade and open borders and her socialized medicine will help the bottom lines of every corporation. Believe me, they want her.

And I'll repeat it again, anyone who is a threat to her or the Slickmeister ...................

So while I agree with everything in your post and would love to see the house from Kansas fall on her, be prepared for "Madame President" in '09

Good point but remember the Clintons are so shrewd..Here is what they may do: stalemate the convention..the longer they stalemate and stall, the more the mood and balance swing to the ‘experienced’ Hillary..It worked for Slick when he was in office- delay and prolong til people rolled over and said OK...

Their flunky Ickes said Hillary will win the nomination. This could be what he means- stall til they fall..delay til they say OK..
