8. If logic is your cup of tea, maybe you see the logic of not going up to the convention. I know I
do, and apparently so do a number of the major and minor honchos of the Democratic party if one believes their public statements at any rate.

The only recklessness I've seen is Hillary's twin assertions that Obama isn't qualified, yet that he is qualified, as the front runner in elected delegates, states won, and popular vote, to be a heart beat away from the oval office, but only on a Clinton headed ticket.

That seems pretty reckless to me.

My belief is that the supers will put Hillary out of her manic depressive bi-polar misery sooner rather than later.

The recent election of a Democrat to Hastert's district is yet another indicator that Obama has the longer coat tails, and the supers who rely on winning elections for their bread and butter can't miss that aspect. This is also demonstrated in the constant and very large erosion of the once formidable but now rather small Clinton lead in super delegates.

Once the supers decide enough is enough, the game will be over, and according to the rules. That will be long before the convention in my opinion.

Still, I'm contemplating attending the convention as overflow crowd with 3 my kids who will range in age from 9 to 14 by August. I don't plan to attend as a street-fighting man but rather as a street-dancing man.

Maybe I'll see you there.
