Harold Ickes - desparately trying to save Hillary

Clinton delegate honcho tells The Page that his main argument when talking to supers is: "We don’t know enough about Senator Obama yet. We don’t need an October Surprise. And (the chance of) an October Surprise with Hillary is remote."

Also claims superdelegates (a/k/a: automatic delegates) are interested in the results of the last few contests "and thinking much more and much harder and in a much more focused way about the fall election. And that was not true pre-Ohio."

About the Democratic National Committee meeting on May 31 to resolve Florida and Michigan, says, "that’s something that we are sort of waiting on...The number needed for the nomination cannot be determined until those challenges are settled and resolved."

There is only one thing left in their poo bag that they haven't launched yet.  The considered tarring Obama's dead mom as a "leftist".  Yep, you heard right.  They wanted to use Obama's dead mom to help divide the country so that they could win.

here's a little of the article:

The Clintons and the 'War on Obama'

By Robert Parry
May 4, 2008

Last December, when I first learned via Clinton insiders that their "oppo" package would include Barack Obama’s associations with fiery black preacher Jeremiah Wright and Vietnam War-era radical William Ayers, I shrugged at what sounded to me like sub-standard fare from the dark side of American politics.

So what if someone’s minister said some stupid things or that an aging one-time student radical had lent some support to a politician’s campaign, I thought.

Besides those two themes, Clinton insiders were plotting how to exploit Obama’s past political ties to indicted real-estate developer Tony Rezko, and they even were hashing over how they might slip in suggestions that Obama’s dead mother had been a leftist. (When I heard the "oppo" about the dead mother, I really couldn’t believe my ears.)
