Reply #143: Maybe not even then

[Prophet 451]

Since the nature of campaigning means that candidates are mostly surrounded by fans and staffers, I wonder if Hillary realises how much she's pissing off party loyalists (the "activist base") and many of the superdelegates. Sure, other candidates have dragged it to the convention floor before but all of them were resented for it (with the exception of Kucinich, who made it entirely clear that he was just doing it to raise progressive issues). Come to think of it, that may be why Obama is starting to get so many superdelegates, the party's subtle way of saying to Hillary: "Look, it's over, please just drop out gracefully before we're forced to knock you out".

After this campaign, I think that even if somethign tragic happened to Obama, the party may ring Gore and beg him to accept the nomination instead.

Hey, how does a Gore/Edwards ticket sound?
