Do you think this is the first time in history that there has been a bitter fight between two candidates before the convention?
Clinton is acting out of desperation so her tactics are expected, and again, nothing new. At the very least, it will harden Obama up for the fall campaign, assuming he is the candidate.
But Clinton also has a very strong argument in her favor that the super-delegates cant ignore, particularly if she wins Michigan and Florida in re-votes. That would give her the four states - FL, OH, MI, PA - three of which the Democrat MUST win in November to reach the magic electoral number.
And, an Obama-Clinton (or Clinton-Obama) ticket is not at all out of the realm of possibility. The whole scenario is playing out somewhat like 1960. A dynamic, young, inexperienced Senator against the seasoned, veteran insider in the party fighting for the nomination....and the party and country united behind JKF/LBJ.
