Here's my theory for what happens at the convention. It looks like Obama's going to have the most delegates, barring a massive collapse. Assuming that doesn't happen, and the superdelegates have to decide the race, Clinton has one simple solution:

"Nominate me, or I'll use the Lieberman option."

Imagine, signs all over the country touting a new party: "America for Hillary." The Democratic Party splits down the middle, like the Republicans when Teddy Roosevelt ran as the Bull Moose candidate, or when Perot ran in '92, and McCain wins in a walk.

None of the superdelegates want that. Truth be told, Hillary doesn't want it. She just wants to be President. And she knows that a lot of the superdelegates are those same weak, wimpy Representatives and Senators who've given Bush anything he's wanted over and over again, just because he's willing to invoke the "You're with us or you're with the terrorists" BS.

So Clinton will bet that the supers will cave, and give her the nomination, and that the rest of us will meekly crawl into the booth and vote for her, rather than let McCain have the Oval Office.

So? Am I ready for that tin-foil hat?

Tin-foil hat time?

Yes, you're completely whacko, Clinton would never do that.

Yes, you're completely whacko, the supers won't give in to blackmail (from their own side, at least).

No, you've got this party figured out, darn it.
