The Clinton Conspiracy

I took my crystal ball to the shop for a tune up yesterday and here's what it says today:

The Clintons are secretly with holding support from Obama in order to scuttle his campaign. Why? McCain wins in '08 and that opens up Hillary in 2012.

The proof? Hillary courting her supporters with "hang in there" speeches. Bill refusing to commit to helping Obama in the national media (refusing to say Barack is ready or qualified on GMA for example). Her campaign never conceded, only suspended, for this reason.

Hillary thinks she can beat a one term McCain in 2012. She's counting on his term looking like Bush's third which will make a democrat a shoe in (no really, this time they mean it. Too easy!).

Hillary's hurdle is image and gender. She was neck and neck with Obama in the primaries and now Obama is neck and neck (mostly and statistically) with McCain. Obama's hurdle? Experience (oh yeah, and race, but that's taboo). He cannot explain his way into the heart of Americans on how he is ready to be commander in chief. Maybe someone will invent a video game of the job and if he gets the high score we'll trust him...

The one area Hillary has ground on skinny pants? Experience.

Hillary and Barack are eye to eye on almost every real issue. People think she has the experience to do the job. Her plan is to watch Barack fail to win this election and then come back to the party in 2012 saying "see, if you'd voted for me we would've won in '08 and not had to suffer through McCain as Bush part III."

Depending on how the world is in 2012, it might just work for her. Too bad the Clintons are willing to turn their back to the country now for their own future political gain.
