This is part of the Dem general strategy

What's going on right now is great for the Democrats.  Clinton's desire to continue the primaries into Ohio and Texas is playing perfectly into the Democratic strategy.  Everyone is aware of the spectacular Obama ground game, and now that Hillary has all of her resources in these two states, together they are going to have a very highly motivated army of supporters ready to go up to November.  I think Hillary's graciousness for the most part during the debate and at the end show that this party will be united by the Convention.  Ohio is going to be the linchpin in the Election again this year, and the fact that the Dems are going to be competing so hard in that state, while the Pigs will be sniping over lobbyist affairs plays right into November. 

 

So I say fight on Hillary until March 5th, but give Obama hell in the next debate to toughen him up for McCain.

It seems more harmful than helpful to me. (none / 0)

Obama is smart enough to install a strong organization in Ohio and Texas without Clinton forcing him into it.  He wants to be competitive in states that the establishment writes off.

 
Hillary has the right to stay in but a protracted fight forces Obama to spend more money and effort on her rather than reprogramming his message for McCain. If she "gives him hell" in the next debate chances are she will hit him on something that is cheap and likely unfair or irrelevant. That kind of attack has the potential to do double damage to our side.

1. She will force him to use his time money and effort fighting the charges she brings which could weaken his options in the general election.

2. Remember this is a primary, our side for the most part will be more forgiving of whoever we nominate. So cheap shots may be frowned upon but not severely punished by our voters. A cheap shot made by Clinton now is potential ammo for McCain later. You might say that McCain will attack anyway but let him float the test balloons, lets not do his research for him. 

It isn't likely that she will have the delegates to remain competitive. That may lead to a messy convention. She should concede gracefully and rally her forces around Obama to help him win the presidency.

Clinton Inc will file a lawsuit to seat Michigan and Florida delegates. Clinton v. Obama will make Bush v. Gore look pale by comparison.

Clinton Inc is already going after Obama’s pledged delegates. This is the dirtiest of dirty politics.

So Barack Obama will win a clear majority of the delegates and the votes and the states and the congressional districts, but Clinton Inc. doesn’t care. They can't win fair, so they're determined to steal the election on technicalities.

How will Obama supporters react when Clinton Inc steals the nomination with only 62 days before the election?

She's going to concede.  Everything will be just fine, America will bounce back, and the Republicans are headed for a long few years in the back seat.

You'll be proven right...or wrong. (none / 0)
"She's going to concede."

My guess is that you'll be proven wrong. Clinton Inc will never have another chance at the brass ring. If Hillary doesn't capture the nomination in 2008, then Bill and Hillary will waddle off together into the sunset to enjoy another 15 years of wedded bliss in obscurity. There will be no restoration or rehabilitation of Bill's legacy of shame.

Don't kid yourself. Clinton Inc. is going to fight like hell to win this nomination.
