It is now completely clear that Hillary is intent on knee-capping Obama. She has been asking the supers to wait while she supposedly 'shows' them she is 'more electable'. That is a fraud.
Hillary knows she has lost the primary battle and She and Begala et al know their remarks will not win over the superdelegates.
They are playing for time to trash Obama. Oh sure, she will eventually 'support' his candidacy but it will be TOKENISM.
She may think by engineering Obama's defeat that she'll be the presumptive nominee in 2012 or have a new shot at it, but there is another angle:
She is carrying water for the corporatist and AIPAC crowd (who also happen to be Bill's business associates)...and they have already decided that they'll only accept either Hillary or McCain. It's not just that they see Obama as too 'even-handed' on Israel-Palestine, or disagree on other issues, it's that they see him as NOT CONTROLLABLE.
AN OBAMA PRESIDENCY REPRESENTS THE POTENTIAL EMANCIPATION OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY FROM THE CONTROL OF THE BIG CONTRIBUTORS.
They can't allow that.
ADDENDUM
If you don't think they see McCain as more 'controllable'
than Obama consider his mega-fundraiser in New York next week:
