From a comment of mine posted elsewhere recently:

The current fix.

Couple this statement from Harry Reid:

   Las Vegas Review-Journal:

   While Democrats across the country are anguished about the bitter fight for their presidential nomination, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid doesn't appear to be losing any sleep over it.

   Asked about it last week, Reid said he remains convinced the nominee will be decided well before the August national convention. He wore a serene and mysterious smile.

   But Reid isn't one for lengthy explanations. The conversation went like this:

   Question: Do you still think the Democratic race can be resolved before the convention?

   Reid: Easy.

   Q: How is that?

   Reid: It will be done.

   Q: It just will?

   Reid: Yep.

   Q: Magically?

   Reid: No, it will be done. I had a conversation with Governor Dean (Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean) today. Things are being done.

   That's all the Nevada Democrat would say about it.

With this part of Mario Cuomo's recent Boston Globe op-ed:

If they are not capable of doing that, the two could announce they will complete the primary schedule and convention with the winner becoming candidate for president and the other agreeing to be a candidate for vice president, thereby mollifying to some extent the constituency of the candidate who was not chosen as the nominee for president.

And you have the current state of the Dem fix.

Bet on it.

All fixes are in flux, of course. Sometimes the tomato can says "Fuck it. I'm taking the champ out" and proceeds to do so. And sometimes someone gets...hurt...before the fix can be applied. But all things being equal, this is what is going to happen on the Dem side.

Watch.

For more on this subject, I refer you to a recent comment of mine that was published elsewhere.

The fix is ALWAYS in.

Watch.

I don't care who wins...Obama, Clinton or maybe Gore. (Hear that distant rumbling? It's the giant Senator's ego and belly beginning to make waves.)

Watch.

For whom the fix tolls?

It tolls for the winner.

Bet on it.

The will of the people?

Give me a BREAK!!!

If "the people" were to be told the ongoing truth of the matter, NONE 'a these motherfuckers would win and there would be political lynchings going on up and down Pennsylvania Avenue.

Can't have THAT, right?

Who'd close the deals?

Please.

The fix?

It's what"s for dinner.

Wake the fuck up.

Reid?

He's from LAS VEGAS, fer chrissake!!!

Where the fix is legal.

He cannot possibly be straight and still have succeeded in Nevada. Las Vegas is still owned by the mob. They have just cleaned up their act and hired some PR people. It was most certainly owned by it in the '60s and '70s when Reid came up. i worked in Vegas then and saw it from the inside. Rotten through and through. And so is he.

Bet on it.

That "serene and mysterious smile?"

I got yer serene and mysterious smile.

Right HERE!!!

Carmine DeSapio. Possibly one of the greatest fixers of all time, the last head of NYC's Tammany Hall.

The smile of a cheating winner.

Someone who knows that however things turn out it will be the way that he wants them to turn out.

Yup.

Bet on it.

Bet on it.

His campaign knows what it's doing. Get the attack out there from a surrogate.  Then have the candidate takes the high road and back away from it.  The subject of the attack is still out there.  The candidate looks good.

Not many candidates can ever actually pull it off as well as Obama.  

Every day I am more impressed with his political skills.
