The "Inevitable" Nominee
Here is my "tinfoil hat" theory:

The "establishment" will not, cannot, permit Obama to be the nominee. Hillary was "inevitable" because she was the establishment's other candidate. Their intent all along has been to stack the deck. As much as Hillary and Bill may want the presidency, from the establishment's perspective, Hillary will have successfully performed her role by simply becoming the nominee.

The advantage, in this case, is that if Clinton and McCain are the candidates running in the GE, election fraud will not be necessary, since it won't matter who wins. Think about it -- both campaigns' top leaders have ties to the same electronic voting machine company.

BUT, if the Obama revolution prevails and he becomes the Democratic nominee, then our corporate overlords are going to have to resort to vote flipping and vote suppression and every imaginable kind of election fraud to prevent the candidate who doesn't owe them anything from rendering them powerless.

This is why I feel that, in the event Hillary and Bill are able to strong-arm their way to the nomination, I can write in Obama with a clear conscience.

5. Lol are you suggesting he marry HRC?
Because clearly you think that's an equivalent.... Which is a silly argument.

But it really doesn't matter.

To the OP, I share your fears my friend I really do.

7. I've thought much the same. Why would we think they wouldn't stoop to any depths
to keep a corporate stranglehold on the U.S.?

8. When you think about it,
how could it be otherwise? The machinery is in place to steal yet another election, and our corporate masters are not going to simply roll over and allow the peaceful transfer of power. I am just hoping that voters have had enough and that this election will tsunami for Barack.
