Yeah, I have a hard time believing that Obama would actually do this. I think he'd be more likely to wait four years and then cruise to victory after the spectacular failure of a Clinton or McCain term.

On the other hand, I find it very easy to believe that Bloomberg would have proposed this. Whether Obama would agree is another matter.

Regardless, I sure would like to see it happen.

You're most likely right, but such a threat makes for some pretty heavy leverage come the convention. This is just more subterfuge in the internal power struggle and intrigues taking place behind the scenes at the DNC.

But nervous rats makes for good television. I'll go get the popcorn...

Ask any former AMWAY dreamer how easy it is to follow a dream, and what they'll do to achieve it.

What if Obama begins to believe the messianic press accounts of his appeal, and he’s denied the Dem nod due to superdelegates? Isn’t the whole line that he is a "post politics" politician?
