They’re Ba-ack!
I don’t know how the Clintons managed to pull it off, but they’re back. The Democrat convention has been shanghaied with Hillary being granted a keynote speech in prime time. She’ll be followed the following night by her “husband”, Bill, also given a prime time speaking slot.
There’s no doubt in my mind that the dynamic duo will be laying the groundwork for a Hillary run four years down the road. If I’m right, it also means the Clintons will do everything they can to torpedo an Obama presidency during the next four years.
And that’s not all. Obama has also capitulated to allow Hillary’s name to be put into nomination on the first ballot….and even allow a roll call vote by the states. That’s gonna’ take up an awful lot of TV prime time. It runs the risk of an embarrassing Obama night. Obama’s spokesman Bill Burton says the “mechanics” of the roll call vote are still being worked out, but he concedes that Clinton will probably garner many votes on that first ballot.
How did the Obama team allow the convention to practically be turned over to the Clintons? The decision came after weeks of talks and negotiations with the Clinton camp. Kinda’ makes ya’ wonder just how much of a negotiator a “President Obama” would be. If he caves so easily to the Clintons, how can he stand up to Iran, Russia, Syria? or what if the Clinton Machine has some deep dark dirt on Barry…
But here’s an interesting caveat: Under proposed convention bylaws, delegates would be forced to register their votes on a tally sheet with the convention secretary –and the rules could be altered or suspended before the start of the convention. That, too….will be an interesting scenario to watch.
Next week promises great entertainment on television –for a change!
