The Clintons are probably realizing that they’ve waited far too long to make their move.

Maybe not. If it gets bad enough, and the Democratic hierarchy and the wealthy contributors to Obama realize he probably will not win, they could change the Rules at the Convention and nominate Hillary from the floor. Am I right or wrong?

It could happen. I remember how Kennedy made a very serious last minute, behind the scenes attempt to pry the nomination away from Jimmy Carter way back when — and came pretty close to pulling it off.

The Kennedy wing is now pretty much the Clinton wing and the various potshots Bubba has been taking at the Bamster seem to be indicative that there are undercurrents and pieces in motion aimed at weakening Obama’s hand.

If Obama loses too much support, all bets are off. He’s damaged the Democrat brand so badly already that if the Republican win in November, that’s the last they will see of the White House for the next 12 years — at least.

See tag line. I've been saying it for about a month.

only the delegates can change the rules.
Obama campaign selected most of the delegates. They are his people.

Clinton’s don’t want the nomination. Hillary would lose.

They want to run against a failed Romney administration in 2016. They cannot do that if Obama is re-elected.

Except for Hussein’s ego and Big Media’s adoration of him, it sounds reasonable, but I think Hussein’s coup at the SS removed all serious threat to him, unless he receives a promotion to UN President.

Hillary could beat Hussein and Mittens easily, but not without Big Media’s support.
