Virtually every fair-minded political pundit has written Hillary off. O'Reilly says she is done, Rasmussen says it will take a miracle, and with just a few more primaries left, it appears she would need a miracle to win the nomination.
If it were any other politician, I would probably buy the early reports of her demise, but this is Hillary Clinton. I will not believe Obama is going to be the nominee until I see it happen at the convention. If he ultimately does win it, I will have completely underestimated the Clinton political machine.
Almost on que, over the course of the primaries, we have been given these tid-bits of dirt on Obama. Geraldine Ferraro's comments were planned and orchestrated, it was what the Clinton camp wanted to say, but couldn't. They wanted the voter to think it, but they didn't want to be associated with it, so they let GF 'take one for the team' to plant that into the mind of the voting public. The picture of Obama in a turban, that came from the Clinton folks, as did the exposure of Rev. Wright. Other bombshells about past associations with people of questionable character have come up, all instigated from the Clinton campaign. It has been textbook Clinton politics, with the dramatic 'grande finale' yet to be played out. Hillary still has the ace up her sleeve.
Now, many of you may ask, why wouldn't she have played this ace early on and sealed the deal? Because the Clintons are masters of playing the game, and if the ace were revealed too early, Obama would have time to overcome it. Plus, she needs an unquestionable excuse to allow the super-delegates to support her instead of him, because this is the only legitimate way for her to get the nomination. What could it be that she has on Obama? I don't know, maybe a picture of him having sex with his mother? Maybe they will find Chandra Levy's body in his yard? Maybe a recording of him talking to Bin Laden on September 10th? But The Clintons have something on him, and it will be something that will allow the super-delegates to support Hillary... for the "good" of the people, don't ya know.
I personally think they have had something on him all along, and have been waiting for just the right moment to release it. The Clintons were instrumental in endorsing Obama as the keynote speaker at the last convention. They praised him and marveled at his message, and created the beginnings of Obama-mania. They set this guy up as the inexperienced patsy Hillary could beat. I don't think they figured on him doing as well as he has, and The Plan didn't originally entail swinging the super-dels, they figured it would be a much closer race, perhaps with Hillary in the lead. But the Ace is still there, waiting to be played, you can bet on it.
