Clintons threaten Democratic party with political suicide bombing

Out of desperation and narcissism, the Clinton campaign has confirmed that they will (1) renege on her signed pledge and push to seat the delegates from MI and FL, and (2) push superdelegates to “steal” the nomination from Obama even if he has won more pledged delegates, popular votes, and states.

Of this strategy, Andrew Sullivan writes: If Clinton were to win this way, she would, I believe, guarantee the Democrats will lose in November. A bitter, polarizing, divisive battle for Michigan and Florida with the result being a Clinton nomination would prompt large numbers of independents and Obama Democrats to stay home or even vote McCain. Would the Clintons sacrifice their party for their own ambition? You bet they would.

    Very good news for McCain.

    We may be looking at a McCain/Romney win in November.
