I'll Be Back in Four Years, Heck, It Ain't All That Far

Hillary's name has been put back in the nomination process.

This can only mean great news for "Operation Chaos".

As we've all noticed by now, a significant percentage (no reliable numbers, here) of Hill's voters have either defected to McCain, or kept on pushing their candidate's candidacy. The DemMcCains aren't going to vote for Obama because Hillary had presented herself as a viable moderate in the primaries (although if she'd won, she would have turned a sharp left faster than Speed Racer). Obama didn't, and so they know he's too far left for them. They haven't forgotten.

However, Hilldog's current supporters are a new species. They've continued to push for her name on the convention vote, simply because they want her to win. Not anyone but Obama, only Hilldog. Just Hilldog. This has to be a cult of personality or else it doesn't make any logical sense. The superdelegates and delegates aren't voting for Clinton, they're voting for Obama to show the Reepublicans that the Dems are "unified", whatever that means, even if they're voting against their own preferences.

But imagine if they didn't...

Imagine that the superdelegates decided that Obama would lead the Democratic party to defeat. They overtook the regular delegates, who voted just as they did in the primaries. Chaos ensued. Pelosi would clamor, "Well, it was just for show, it was just for show," and the Obama supporters would riot, now seeing as their savior wouldn't get to decrease the sealevel. When things settled down a bit both inside and outside of the convention, Democratic leaders would make the case that Obama was the real nominee and a vote wasn't needed, anyway. Hilldog's supporters, having smelled victory, would yell and scream and protest along with Tent State University. The convention would be in shambles, and the Republicans (Ron Paul's convention included) would shake their heads and sigh. So much for the "great uniter".

And Rush Limbaugh's show would have record ratings.
