Hillary to Obama: It ain't over till its over...
Or...How I won the Democratic Party's 2008 Presidential Nomination, by Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Barack Obama was just declared the presumptive winner of the 2008 primary by the MSM, TPM and his own supporters, based on tonight's tallies as interpreted by the DNC's Rules Committee.
Most Obama supporters appear to think that this ruling is final, but from what I have gathered, it is not: the assembled delegates at the DNC Convention can vote to overturn this ruling, or so I gather.
AND they just might, because while the DNC Rules Committee ruled on the first-round nomination voting status of the Michigan and Florida delegations, that shouldn't affect their vote on other matters in any way.
So, she may be planning on speaking to the 100 or so super-delegates who apparently STILL have not committed and say "hold off until I take this to the floor."
At that point, she would have her Michigan and Florida delegates backing her at the full vote they would be entitled to in such a vote, and combined with the currently uncommitted Supers (and any others who have publicly committed to Obama merely because he is the obvious nominee), she might win the nomination despite what the MSM and everyone else says.
This would be a long-shot, and perhaps she doesn't really believe she can pull it off, but even the threat of that scenario might be enough to win massive concessions for her both at the Convention and later on..
Just a thought...

I brought that up back in February: Bombing Pearl Harbor. How time flies.

I think we're stuck with him. Unless there's something to this Michelle "bombshell". But most likely we're stuck with him, which would be fine if he wins in November. I just wish I believed.
