I had a bet with Peter Robinson that Clinton, Inc. would pull out all the stops. I think I will win it. Note the story line emerging: (1) Florida and Michigan should not be “disenfranchised”; (3) the “big” important states, won by popular votes, should not count as much as small red-state “caucuses”; (4) the candidate going into the convention with the more recent wins and the momentum should not be denied; (5) the duty of the super delegate is to weigh the intangibles that transcend mere states won or lost; (6) the Democratic primaries simply don’t reflect popular will, when a Hillary can win Ohio by a landslide (add CA, MASS, NJ, NY, etc.) and yet pick up scarcely more delegates than the loser Obama; (6) how can a caucus delegate in a small state count more that the aggregate votes of thousands in a big-state primary? Yup, She's baaaaaack. I think VDH will win his bet. As the two candidates head down the stretch neck-and-neck, the superdelegates have to be saying to themselves that we have to get both candidates onto the ticket somehow, or else we're screwed in November. Since I don't see Hillary taking second spot under any circumstances, there will be huge pressure for Obama to take it, a vastly unattractive option for him too. Pass the popcorn, this should get interesting.
