When Bill Clinton was going through his impeachment imbroglio I alway had the sense that conviction in the Senate was never going to happen because it was a case where the Senators realized that Bill Clinton would take everyone down with him. The lack of voting for impeachment was more a case of everyone protecting their own backsides then being particularly concerned about Bill’s backside. Nobody is going to pull the rug out on anybody else because everybody is standing on the same rug.
I had seen this kind of behavior before in a business setting where because employees and management alike had the goods on one another, employees and management alike were covering each others backs.
Be patient…I’m going somewhere with this.
Now Hillary shows up and she is beat, and yet, she hangs around. Why is that?
Could it be that Hillary, unlike Barack, knows where all the bodies are buried and knows who buried them. (Considering that we are talking about the Clintons I need to tell you that the first sentence in this paragraph was a metaphor.) Could it be that like the impeachment process where Bill knew that the result of his going down would be his taking everybody with him, that Hillary knows that if she doesn’t get the nomination people are going to be exposed?
I think they call it ‘Blackmail.’
It’s pure conjecture but it makes more sense then anything else that is being offered out there right now as an explanation as to why either
1.) Bill wasn’t convicted in his impeachment trial
2.) Hillary is still being seriously considered as the possible presidential candidate even though there is no mathematical way that she can catch Obama in the delegate count.
Something has to account why she believes that she can still get the nomination.
If you believe that it is really going to be the case that super-delegates will vote for her because she has a better chance in the general election I think you need to give up your heroine addiction for awhile.
Remember, politics is a leverage game. Its all about who has the leverage.
I’m guessing Hillary and Bill have boatloads of leverage.
In my fevered mind all of the above would also explain why the back water media (CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, etc.) are giving her all the negative coverage. They want Obama, not because they are infatuated with Obama. They want Obama because they are tired of being tied to somebody who has them by the short hairs.
Remember … its pure conjecture.
