Party fears tight Obama-Clinton finish

...

Some Obama supporters question Clinton's motives: They suggest she is counting on a stunning gaffe or shocking revelation to cripple Obama and hand her the nomination. Others float a more sinister possibility, which has found its way into mainstream news accounts: Clinton hopes to damage Obama so severely that he loses to McCain this fall, clearing her path to challenge McCain in 2012, when he will be 75.

Clinton scoffs at such suggestions, and calls on voters to support whomever is the Democratic nominee in November.

Whatever her motives, many Democrats fear that Clinton's continued criticisms can only hurt the man they see as their all-but-certain nominee. They point to a recent Gallup poll, in which 28 percent of Clinton's Democratic supporters said they would vote for McCain if Obama is the party's nominee. Nineteen percent of Obama's supporters said they would vote for McCain if Clinton gets the nod.

Faced with such disturbing trends, some Democrats want party elders either to persuade Clinton to drop out, or to orchestrate enough superdelegate endorsements of Obama to make her defeat inevitable. But high-profile Democrats, including former president Jimmy Carter, former vice president Al Gore, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean, have refrained from such moves so far.

I love it when they eat their own!   :lmao:

Oh, yes, Operation Chaos - I was just a bystander to that one, but I sure was glad to see the voters in Ohio to be exonerated of "election fraud", not charged. RL would have benefitted from the publicity and moonbattiness of the whole thing if the Ohio Democrat Party had proceeded.

On OT, they should *fear* a tie going into the DNC, that's exactly what's going to happen, and the left should be very familiar with that particuilar emotion - fear is fuel for most of them.

This is the best thing about this election cycle.

Without Operation Chaos it would just be a race between a Democrat and a Democrat.
