It Ain’t Over ‘Til The Mad Lady Sings…
Friday, August 8th, 2008
She bowed out—but was unbowed.
And it looks like she hasn’t given up on running for president this year.
Although she stepped out of the running—it now appears Hillary Clinton has been plotting behind the scenes—trying to find a way to wrest the nomination at the Democratic convention in Denver.
The trial balloons began to appear in late July—and now—with the convention closing in—the “Hillary-on-the-ballot-effort” is bubbling furiously.
Most of the work has been done by various Hillary “support” groups as you can read here…
Perhaps the most vocal of them are the die-hards calling themselves PUMA—which stands for Party Unity My Ass.
They’ve been posting videos like this on line…
In public, Hillary’s downplays having her name placed in nomination—saying she just wants to make sure that all the Democrats “walk away from the convention feeling like their voices were heard.”
As you can read here, the PUMA’s believe if they can get enough Obama supporters to switch—they can make Hillary the nominee.
And—as one delegate from Texas explains here, he’s been getting hundreds of emails a day from the PUMA’s trying to wear him down so that he’ll change his vote.
For their part, Democratic leaders are trying to mollify the Clinton’s by offering both Bill and Hillary prominent speaking roles at the convention— but it’s no secret how lukewarm Bill Clinton’s support for Obama has been.
Is Hillary really ready to give it up—or does she have a strategy that’ll leave her with the top spot on the democratic ticket by the end of August?
Just keep this one fact in mind—she never formally gave up her campaign…
She just “suspended” it.
