Money quote:

Segovia, a member of the Democratic party’s powerful rules committee, which could play a key role at the convention in the event of a near-tie, is leaning towards Clinton after initially favouring the Illinois senator.

“Obama has got to be 100 delegates ahead of Clinton by the end of the race. If he is, it would be perceived as undemocratic to back her. Anything under 100 delegates is effectively a tie and it would be seen as reasonable to support Hillary,” he said.

Discuss. ;)

LOL! Discuss?

I think we will have a strategic change in Operation Chaos shortly.

For those of you who don’t like OC, watch what will happen shortly.
The strategery will change, if it’s warrented.

I already have my ballot, and my primary isn’t until May 20.

"Anything under 100 delegates is effectively a tie and it would be seen as reasonable to support Hillary,” he said."

Here we have the Clintonistas trying to re-define the criteria of success so that Shrillary would only need to pick up a net gain of 36 delegates in the remaining contests to throw the convention open for "Superdelegates" to swing the decision to her. I don't know what vote #s are required for her to pick up a net gain of 36 delegates now but it's sure a lot more feasible than trying to gain 136 delegates...... I'm afraid that OpChaos could still lead to Shrillary as the nominee, which is a frightening prospect. Obambi is clearly the fatally weakened candidate for the general election.

"However, Obama urgently needs to prevent white flight from escalating out of control."

And media is doing it's best to hide Obama's racist, America, white hating Character he spent the last 20 years honing to perfection along with his other Marxist and Islamic agenda's.

Obama says Wright isn't the man he knew 20 years ago. That may be true. He's the man both He and Obama have become during that 20 year relationship.

Media will not be able to hide the real Obama no matter how long it keeps playing Obama as the "victim" of his and Wright's 20 year long close relationship spent planning his rise to political power; power needed to achieve the goals both he and his racist pal spent 20 years dreaming and scheming of.

I’m amazed that Obama somehow still keeps keeping on. As far as I’m concerned, getting him out of the picture is the number one priority.

Methinks people will soon realize that Rush was wrong. Republicans made a HUGE mistake voting for Hillary over Obama. She will emerge a stronger candidate if she beats him in Indiana, Oregon and makes it very close in North Carolina. The Hildabeast is a Murderous Witch. Pure and simple. There is little difference between McPain and Hitlery. He probably will be eaten alive by the Clintonestas.

If it’s within 100 delegates, then John Edwards might find himself a VP slot—or something—in exchange for his delegates (should the delegates choose to follow the endorsement that Edwards gives).

I dunno about that. Obama was on a roll powered by his oratory. Too many leftists and socialists still support him.

Whether Obama or Clinton are more defeatable in November may be a toss up. I'd rather that Clinton defeat Obama and the blame for the race riots be pinned on her racist Democrats rather than McCain defeating Obama and the race riots being blamed on racist Republicans.

The Operation Chaos strategy to drag out the Democrat nomination process in order to make Obama and Clinton defeat each other is working well.

That’s what we’re talking about. Get Johnny E back in play. That putz will be seen as the great white male indigent poor vote gatherer for Obama. Super rich lawyers are always in touch with the common man.

No, Operation Chaos is already a success. The bitterness between Democrats would not have happened if Obama had won it early on the strength of primaries. The media would never have exposed Rev. Wright, William Ayers, etc. And while it’s true Hillary would be a stronger candidate than Obama, blacks will be truly “bitter” if the party bigwigs “steal the nomination from Obama”. So will the Move On lefties.

And no matter who wins they will have the stigma of having been SELECTED, NOT ELECTED.

In the fall, the press will close ranks against the Republican(s) and it won't matter if Hillary's on videotape exchanging oral sex for bags of cocaine-tainted cash extorted from poor people by Tony Rezko. They'll savage the GOP one-sidedly. As several of them have explained recently, generously offering to straighten the rest of us out, balanced news reporting is a lie, because so often there is only one side to a story --theirs.

Bill and Hillary are the only people in America who could have played the race card on Obama and gotten away with it.

Obamas tax return showed $26,000 going towards Wright.

To suggest Obama did not know who he was contributing to is to suggest Obama is an idiot.

Obamas problem is not Wright, but rather that Obama himself actually has core values on par with those of Wright.

That’s not funny.

I was replying to someone talking about Operation Chaos and strategic voting. My strategy is simply. Support anyone ahead of Obama.

Wherever Hillary goes, she's mobbed by enthusiastic fans, like these in Kokomo, Ind.
