Good idea: let's make Hillary unelectable so the superdelegats will be stuck with voting for Obama.
There are any number of things that we can completely sink her campaign with, starting with the pardoned terrorists that Bill Clinton pardoned (read about the 1981 Brinks robbery and you'll see what kind of stuff he let people get off scotch free for) and working our way to flat-out wild rumors that I'm sure are easy to find on the World Wide Web. The superdelegates will have a mess on their hands and will have no choice butto vote for Obama, even if she ends up with more pledged delegates. They will basically have to salvage their political careers - who wants to vote for someone who let Weather Underground members off the hook!

P.S.: I didunt make up this idea: I got it from Hillary. She got it from Tonya Harding.

8. It's so hard to recognize this sort of satire because it's exactly what Clinton supporters WOULD say

9. Yeah, they're not being sarcastic. It's exactly what they are trying to do.
And this from someone who voted for the Iraq War Resolution BECAUSE she planned to run for pResident and thought she needed to be able to say she is tough. So the most damaged person, someone who supported the possibility of the deaths of thousands of innocent people for her own political ambitions, tries to damage someone else more than she is damaged.

And none of that even mentions how long and how much these Operation Chaos crossover voters have been getting organized and ready and pushing her, because if she wins, they win, and if she looses, they win.

I'm depressed.

7. But that's what Clinton has done to Obama after losing the primaries.
Try to make him seem unelectable.
