After Barockstar’s near fatal empty suit performance at Saddleback Saturday, the Obama spin machine is in damage control overdrive. I wonder if they‘ve had time to realize that they have been triangulated by the Clinton war room and set up to take a fall at the DNC convention?

That old Clinton war room stench is in the air again...It seems the empty suit and his empty headed staff is not quite up to speed on Clintonian strategeries. Consider the Latest Clinton maneuvers

Ä2; Camp Clinton convinced Camp Obama to help liquidate her campaign debts.

Ä2; Camp Clinton convinced Camp Obama to call for Florida and Michigan voters to be counted. It’s the right thing to do, of course. But had it already been done, Hillary would already be the nominee.

Ä2; Camp Clinton convinces Camp Obama to agree to a floor vote at the convention when all the cameras will be rolling. What if Clinton wins on the floor?

Ä2; Camp Clinton removes Obama supporter John Edwards from the equation, along with his scheduled convention speaking spot, on the basis that he is now a known lying cheater. But Bill Clinton (also a known lying cheater) is the headliner of the convention, and he’s not an Obama supporter at all.

Ä2; Barockstar tanks on national TV only days before the convention and his campaign staff is sent out to do damage control, leaving the super-delegates gasping in a holy crap moment, with the sudden realization that this empty suit is in no way ready for the big show. Only a promise to make a VP announcement this week can get his failed TV appearance off the front pages.

Ä2; Meanwhile, Camp Clinton is mobilizing millions of NObama minions and staging a convention coup in which Hillary can ride in on silver steed to save the party from complete implosion on an international stage…

Even James Carville, Dick Morris and Oliver Stone combined, could not have written this script any better. All we need is a second gunman on the grassy knoll. Howard Dean maybe?

The fact that millions of Democrat voters were intentionally disenfranchised by their own party in the primaries leaves the chosen one the prime target of too many in-house enemies. And nobody in American politics is better at organizing, mobilizing and exploiting in-house enemies than the Clintons.


Poster Comment:

I found this opinion piece rather amusing as well as possibly prophetic. There's nothing quite like rumors of a coup to get the juices running and spice up an otherwise boring business as usual election year.

Obama believes his main political rival is McCain. Obama is wrong.

I certainly didn't put all these pieces together, though I did get the standing hairs on the arm routine when it was said that her name would be put in nomination.

I haven't thought for a minute that she was done, though. She doesn't have the year tucked under her belt to be the 'sage' of the democraps, and it would take too long to do things necessary or important enough to garner her sufficient accolades--after all, a Kennedy she ain't! I don't think she feels she has that much time left in which to make her mark as the first woman president.

Lets see what else hits the fan before the convention is over.

Should Obama choose Clinton? Posted: 07:15 PM ET

From CNN Senior Political Analyst Bill Schneider

A new poll suggests Obama’s numbers would go up if he chooses Clinton as his VP. DENVER (CNN) - What can Barack Obama do to reverse his sudden slide in the polls? Here’s an idea: surprise everyone and name Hillary Clinton as his running mate.

It would turn the Democratic National Convention into a love-in. 4,438 delegates locking arms and singing "Kum-Ba-Ya’’!

Consider this finding from the new Wall Street Journal-NBC News poll out Wednesday night. A bare majority of Clinton supporters, 52 percent say they will vote for Obama. Twenty one percent favor McCain, while 27 percent are still undecided or say they will vote for "someone else.’’

Nearly half of Clinton’s supporters are still not on board with Obama!

The holdouts tend to like McCain more than Obama and have more confidence in McCain’s ability to be commander-in-chief.

Would Clinton add to the ticket? Apparently. The poll shows Obama leading McCain by three points. If Clinton were at the top of the ticket, she would be leading McCain by six.
