AFL-CIO Pulling Funds From Obama Campaign

U.S. News & World Report ^ | Wednesday, June 13, 2012 | Elizabeth Flock

The DNC views things like “rules” and “votes” and “procedure” to be charming and old-fashioned.

If they feel threatened, the DNC resorts to “courts” and “birth-certificates” or even “Fort Marcy Park”

Ask Senator Lautenberg.

It wouldn’t be difficult, for those without scruples, to get Hillary Clinton on the ballot

[adorno]

I’m wondering if this was a chesspiece type move to get funds available to support/persuade hillary to run.

Bringing Hillary in to "rescue" the party and ticket, will smack of complete desperation, and desperation is not a winner in most battles.

At best, Hillary will swap places with Biden, but, it will still seem as a desperate move, and not really change anything, since, Obama is not one to share power at the top.

I am not sure, but they’ve done it before in state races. Really nothing is official until the convention. I suppose if he were pressured to drop out there would have to be someone run, and I am sure the Dems would put on a fun charade to show a huge momentum building to have Hillary run.

Frankly, I am not sure the people would care...they have soundly rejected the Democrats at all levels, and she’s not all that compelling to change that trajectory. Seeing Carville, Bill, and other Clintonites all suddenly becoming anti-Barrack is certainly raising an eyebrow, though.

Well the original plan was 2008 but that went out the window. Bill hasn’t forgotten the race card being played on him and won’t forgive. So we see L Davis, Rendell, H Ford Carvile and Bill killing Obama.

2016 is the only game in town for HC.
