being that the interests of the corporate media, the military-industrial complex, the criminals of the Bush Administration, the Israeli and Religious Right-Wings, and the Clintons are in near complete alignment, it comes as no surprise that particular attention is paid by them to promoting the perpetuation of the Democratic Party's nomination contest.
i don't know whose "brilliant" (read: idiotic) idea it was to allow the primaries/caucuses to be frontloaded onto the calendar and then have the conventions as close to the general election as possible, but as it stands now the only things that stand in the way of Obama's nomination are:
a: an unprecedented mistake by Obama
.......................... (think Gerald Ford/Poland to the tenth power)
b: an unprecedented series of mistakes by Obama
.......................... (think Michael Dukakis to the third power)
c: another Sirhan Sirhan
.......................... (in which case it really is 1968 again and Hillary IS Nixon)
d: a major terrorist attack
.......................... (in the U.S. or China during the Olympics, Pakistan, or ?)
e: Bush or the Israelis ginning up another WAR in the Middle East
.......................... (not the big one IRAN, Gaza or Lebanon will do)
the longer Hillary stays in the race, (even if she pulls a "Huckabee" i.e. 'campaigning without attacking the presumed nominee) the greater the chances are for one or more of the above to change the political calculus of the Democratic Party's nomination.
'tis 20 weeks until the Convention in Denver
.............................. ('tis gonna be a long goddamn 20 weeks)
p.s. Dear Madame Clinton: if thou doth not understand how so many people are "bitter" and want real change, thou hath not been listening. (neither did they gross over $100 MILLION in income during the Bush Administration's tenure)
