Is Clinton Running Out of the Power to Force/Dictate to Obama?
I keep debating this with myself...which is the first sign I need professional help! So, I thought I'd ask you what your take was. I would think that power plays go just so far and then a point is reached where the power is gone and you are standing there bare naked. It's like holding you hostage; telling you I'm going to kill you; keep shooting my gun in the air to scare you; and then I put my gun to your head, pull the trigger but nothing happens because I'm out of ammo! So, is that line coming close for Clinton? Has she already past it and can be ignored? Does she have so much left that she can totally destroy the party and Obama by the mere flick of her finger if she desires? When is the line reached?

1. Well, duh! What else?
"Cave to my wishes or I'll blow us all up."

2. But.......
..does she really have the POWER to do it or is the blustering running out as she runs after the speeding car yelling "I'll get you...I'll get all of you". Does she really have that power? And, after reading the "assasination" remarks, I believe if Obama spokespeople get out there with it, her power would go straight down the toilet and she would have nothing left to bargain with.

3. She's done. It's over.
Justified or not (I think yes) this will cause a superdelegate stampede towards Obama. I wouldn't be surprised to see a whole slew of high-profile defections as a result of this.
