I began to think, since the recent stuff with Clinton.

Now, I am not taking sides IN THIS scenario; because I ultimately am fighting for Gore to be the nominee, of course. Here's something that jumped out at my admittedly desperate brain this afternoon...

The Clinton statement about RFK. Someone on another forum was talking about it, and was saying that the comparison to the 1968 was appropriate because (!!!HELLO) "the nomination was resolved on the convention floor in August--more than five months after the primaries started--with Humphrey, who controlled the delegates but didn't run in a single primary, winning the nomination."

Ahem.

I wonder..if she 'slipped up' in more than one way.

Maybe she really is staying in the race all the way to the convention...for a different reason than we think?

Is it possible, considering the animosity that the Clintons and Gore have? I am probably reaching. But for either reason, (she's staying for her chance, or for someone else's); the end result could be the same.

Now, personally, I have made a choice between Clinton and Obama. But that's not the purpose of this forum, so I'm keeping my personal preference out of it. Please do not read any such preference into the above hypothesis, because you could very well come away with the wrong conclusion.

I want Gore, but if I can't have him, I have made a decision I am ok with.

Thanks for listening.
