You are 100% correct. The truth is, it's not in their nature to reconcile. I've raised a child, I know the mindset. I've live through nearly 8 years of Bush--I know unmovable stubbornness when I see it.

We can't rely on Hillary and Bill for any help in this election--quite the opposite. Do not trust them for one second, no matter what happens this week. They need to be marginalized as much as possible, and we need to win this DESPITE them.

we do not, however, want to marginalize rank-and-file supporters of the Clintons.  Only the people that are continuing the fight against Obama.

Absolutely right, BooMan ... all of us need to recognize that the net is not representative of the electorate ... often it's not even representative of how an individual acts ... you vent online, then vote with a clear head.

I have to add one thing as a long-time (all the way back to the Dem Senate primary in 2004) Obama supporter ... he had numerous opportunities to close this thing down and has failed repeatedly.  I chalk a lot of that up to residual good will among older Democrats for the Clintons.  But some of it is unease about Obama and we need to recognize it.

The Obama endgame of this nomination fight hasn't been impressive.  And I think Clinton wants some acknowledgment of her strong close before she exits stage right.

The strategy is to play with our heads, keep us guessing.

The Clinton camp leaked this morsel to the Drudger:

HILLARY CAMPAIGN EXPECTS 25-POINT WIN IN S DAKOTA, TOP SOURCES TELL DRUDGE... DEVELOPING...

Well, "You can't vote for war and disown the results"

The people continuing the fight against Obama are marginalizing themselves.

I believe that the rank and file HRC supporters need to ask themselves one question, who do you want to choose the next supreme court justice, Obama, or McCain.  Hell, I wouldn't even mind if it was Hillary, that would sure stick in the Republicans craw.
