“I am stunned”

“Gall and chutzpah”

“You bet your ass!” (twice)

Ick….

So says Harold Ickes, long time Clinton loyalist and political operative who said of the motion to seat Michigan Delegates with each getting one half vote, it will hijack delegates and “is no way to seek party unity” and that Hillary “has instructed him to announce that she reserves the right to take the fight to the credentials committee”.

As unlikely as it seems, given clear past rulings that political parties can make up their own rules, it seems like the Clinton campaign will do anything to including taking a run to the Supreme Court, to the credential committee which will not be established until June, to the August convention in Denver in order to what? Ensure democracy? No.

To get the VP nomination or get openly rejected.

That’s all she wants now, so go ahead Barack, either take her as your VP or openly reject her so she and The Democratic Party and indeed the country can move on.

The motion passed 19 to 8. Some could not hear the vote due to hecklers in the audience, this time no doubt of Hillary supporters, although earlier Obama supporters acted similarly.

Wolf Blitzer immediately called it a “Soloman like solution”.

As a result, the nomination now requires a total of 2118 delegates needed and Barack now has 2050 and Hillary has 1877. As I earlier leaked, Obama will get the nomination, and remember you heard it here first.

Barack Obama will not get there with the voters delegates, he will require the some of the superdelegates to push him over to get the nomination. Hillary will claim that she has won the popular votes and this violates the parties principals.

How would she respond to this message in a phone call from the God Father, aka Al Gore, to tell her “it is not about you Hillary, it is about the Party”?
