Now It's A Cover Up

The Clintons keep on coming: fighting imaginary conspiracies, insisting that the delegate count means nothing, that the nomination fight starts now, and on and on. The strategy is clear: when they lose the nomination, they are laying the ground for blaming Obama if he loses in the fall and gearing for another Clinton run in 2012. The logic they are using - who cares about delegate leads? all that matters is the popular vote and Hillary is ahead in the polls against McCain - suggests they will take this to the convention. If they do that, of course, they will help Obama lose the election in November. I think that's now the logic - although, like many sociopaths, they change their mood, argument and demeanor from day to day.
