Is this really necessary? There's a lot of real news out there to talk about.

I worked hard today for less money than I made 8 years ago, this helped me relax. <grin>

I think FC is adressing the most pressing two pieces of news that the Dems are confronting in the last month or so: Hillary and her team have decided to run a scorched earth campaign in order to halt Obama's momentum (political fallout for the Party be damned) and she has stated unequivocally that if Ombama comes into the convention with the delegate and popular vote lead, she will nonetheless attempt to steal the nomination from him by comandeering enough supers to get her over the top.
If she were to be successful in that endeavor, especially after having trashed the most popular Democratic Presidential candidate in decades, the scenario FC paints in his "new item" above is not just plausible, it is downright likely.
What the hell is wrong with calling attention to the problem in the innovative fashion he chose?

No. I asked if it was necessary. I think we all know that the nomination ship has sailed and Hillary is on the dock.

know anything. Let's win TX and OH first. After the ship is about a mile offshore we can say this.

was helpful. It shows the end game she is shooting for. It is a wasteland scenario, and I am saying that it is good for us to contemplate the logical, horrific consequences of her stated objectives.
In other words, the nomination ship doesn't sail till the fat lady sings (pardon the mm) in Denver. To blithely write off a person who has declared her intention to fight to the death of the Party is a bit too much like denial, imo.

I'd bet my life saving that the GOP has a few women just waiting in the wings to come forward. Bill Clinton is an admitted sex addict. My wife and I both work with addicts, the thing about addiction is it doesn't go away just because you wish it too.

I don't think that part of your scenario is necessary for the theoretical McCain win to take place. I believe that her trashing of the most powerful upsurge in voter interest ever and the possibility of her stealing the nomination from the winner of the pledged delegates and popular vote would be more than enough to seal our doom.
The Bill stuff is too salacious (even if plausible) and detracts from your otherwise bullseye prognostication.
Just my opinion. I still rec'd the diary.
