Rats don’t swim toward sinking ships, and pols don’t back no losers, and this is why Hillary Clinton is in such trouble. In a relatively short amount of time, Clinton has gone from being the inevitable winner to being the underdog to being a dead woman walking. She needs superdelegates to win the nomination, but what is her argument to superdelegates? Can she promise them she will win a majority of the pledged delegates that voters have chosen in primaries and caucuses? No. Can she promise them she can take the lead in the popular vote? No. Can she promise them she can win a majority of the primary and caucus states? No. But can she get the superdelegates to overturn the will of the voters, slap African-Americans and young voters in the face and shatter the party? Well, yeah, she can try for that Death Star option. Why would superdelegates want to go along with her? Because she would be a much stronger candidate than Barack Obama in November? The results so far don’t suggest that. Look at what Obama accomplished Tuesday night with his overwhelming win in the 10th-largest state in the nation, North Carolina, and his narrow loss in Indiana: Obama spent weeks with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright hanging around his neck, and Obama still did well.

The Clinton Machine now courting Obama for VP

Clinton can not win the nomination

Hillary Clinton is now pushing a new strategy. She continues to push this idea that perhaps both her and Obama can run on the same ticket...as long as she is at the TOP of the ticket. This is an obvious deceptive move on her part to attempt to sway voters with the idea that both of them would actually run on the same ticket. But why would Obama even consider being her VP when he is ahead and will continue to be ahead in pledged delegates? It's all the new Clinton machine plan to sway votes. All about the votes.
