If all goes as planned, it will continue through the day with a steady stream of endorsements. The moment the polls close in South Dakota, marking the official end of the nominating season — at 10 p.m. Eastern — a delegation of at least eight members of Congress who had been holding out until after the primaries will announce their support of Mr. Obama, according to Mr. Obama’s aides.
These are nothing but underhanded maneuvers to get Clinton supporters to lose hope. There are cheap wranglings to get the undecided voter to "go with the flow"... after all, most people would rather back a winner than be right, yes? So if your running a campaign based on that level of disrespect for voters intelligence, what does that say about your true appreciation for the base... not a lot! If I were one of the 8 members of Congress planning to declare, and the campaign leaked it to the press prior to the voting, I'd pull my support based on the campaign's unconcealed contempt for the democratic process.
To the candidate with the lifetime experience, the candidate who had won the battleground states, the candidate who understands the magnitude of the issues and is not going around with a can of whitewash making promises that are unequivocally "feel good" dreams... she is told to stop making trouble... to drop out of the race so all the dumb Democratic voters will know who to rally around. While the O'Bama zealots were happy to out-maneuver Mrs. Clinton in the various state caucuses, they now are quaking in their boots about the notion that they might actually get outmaneuvered at the National Convention.
Shame on you Howard Dean. Shame on you Democratic party leaders. I'd like to see Clinton tell you to go f*ck yourselves and break off to form a new party. Who else feels the same way?
Loose hope?
