Welcome.

Of course she is not aiming at 2012. Why would she risk what will quite likely happen to this country if McCain takes over and continues to implement what BushCo has started here? There will BE no "U.S.A.", or at least not one that is recognizable from a mugshot taken in say 1992. It's barely recognizable now.

1-She thinks that she can win against McCain.

2-She thinks that Obama will lose against McCain.

3-She thinks that if she proves #2 to the Democratic Party...by creating a virtual stalemate in the primary system because that is now the only option left to her...the Dems will tapdance the rules and nominate her. And she may be right.

Face it, folks.

She is running AS McCain to some degree. Not necessarily in terms of policies, just in terms of image. Older, more experienced in the ins and outs of DC, shot and a beer with the fellas, etc.

Ma Clinton equals Granpa Mac.

Bet on it.

And...it's working.

The Dem pros WILL hear this argument.

Look...I beat Obama once I found out HOW to beat him. So will McCain. It's not the score during the exhibition season, it's the score during crunch time that matters in THIS game. And the score in big states. FUCK the rules!!! Ya wanna win or lose?

They will listen and then they will consider their options in the light of old fashioned self-interest, most of them.

You think that things have changed sine the late 1800s? Not in politics they haven't. The hustlers still run the scene.

Is she "right"?

About being able to beat MCain? About Obama's inability to do so? About the tactics that she has used?

I don't know.

Politics is a blood sport.

If she wins...the nomination and the Presidency...then yes, she was right.

Tactically correct.

If not...no.

We shall soon see.

By June I think. If not sooner.

The DNC will force some hands by June.

Why?

Self-interest.

Watch.
