Hillary’s Fantasy Lead: What’s Wrong With This Picture?

By Roger Simon, Politico



Hillary Clinton leads Barack Obama in the popular vote, and this is her path to victory.

She will ultimately win the Democratic nomination by convincing the superdelegates that her popular vote lead makes it legitimate for them to support her. It gives them the cover they need to deny Obama a nomination that he otherwise would have won.

What’s wrong with this picture?

First, Clinton does not lead Obama in the popular vote. It is a fantasy.

Second, the people she most needs to convince that this fantasy is true are the people least likely to believe it.

Lastly, there is the big picture: Will the DNC really overturn the choice of the pledged delegates and substitute Clinton as the nominee over Obama?

I doubt it. First and foremost, DNC members care about the party and its future. So ask yourself: Is the DNC going to shatter the party by telling black voters and young voters that their votes in legitimate primaries and caucuses do not count?

Clinton can try to make up her own set of rules, but that doesn’t mean they are going to rule the DNC or the day.

1. I blame the MSM for this

If they would have been telling the voters the truth all along Hillary wouldnt still be in the race, and as a result she wouldnt get away with lying to the voters.

The MSM is complicit in keeping her alive as a candidate at the expense of both honesty and our party's chances in the GE.

2. This is why a "migration" of SD's to Obama has begun

and will probably increase if he wins NC and gets at least 40% of IN on Tuesday.

Hillary has had one legitimate weapon in her arsenal: her superdelegate lead over Obama. But look at what's happened to it lately:



If it's true that Obama picked up another SD today, her margin is now 16 (it used to be 96!). If the margin falls into single digits, she'll have no grounds on which to plead a case to the SDs that she's more electable. The purpose of the SD migration is to close off her last remaining avenue of attack.
