They still are busy doing what each group thinks is best. Sounds familiar.

Consider the following: The Clinton Machine (like it or not, a considerable force) Convention, Florida, Michigan Obama is not showing well in national match ups The Democratic part wants to win the White House (can't with Obama) McCain is not nearly as vulnerable to Obama as he is to Clinton The devil we know is better than the devil we don't know. I'm not claiming prophetic authority in this. I'm just sayin'... All I’m saying is that I have an uncanny knack for pickin’ ‘em in these things.

Consider the following:
The Clinton Machine (like it or not, a considerable force)
Convention, Florida, Michigan
Obama is not showing well in national match ups
The Democratic part wants to win the White House (can’t with Obama)
McCain is not nearly as vulnerable to Obama as he is to Clinton
The devil we know is better than the devil we don’t know.

I’m not claiming prophetic authority in this. I’m just sayin’…

I need to go to the gym to get the blood pumping to my brain again. Obama may win, too…i don’t know how he “be” the general election.

I need to go to the gym to get the blood pumping to my brain again.

Hillary can't win her party's nomination, and without that, all the idealistic hopes and dreams and the trite little scenario that you have so beautifully painted is something right out of a Pollyana version of Orwell. Obama may be the general election, too, but he'll have a harder time beating McCain than he thinks he will. That certainly won't be a shoo in. Dan is right, at least when it comes to the primary.
