Well, she is at a 4 point lead now, down from a 10 point lead in some predictions. How exciting!

previous to tonight it was about 68% of the remaining votes she needed, using the same suspect methods, so it's all getting very tight on her needing to give in. The Fat lady is at least clearing her throat, if she hasn't stepped out on the stage. Even her advisers must be starting to see the neon 'you lose' message flashing at the end of the game.

I think the plan is to stage a coup with the Rules Committee (or whatever it's called) which will seat Florida etc and then crown her empress of the entire world.

The Committee is packed full of Clinton people. Unfortunately the rest of the convention will try to lynch them, so it's possibly not a bullet-proof strategy.

Even so - Clinton looks like she won't stop until someone forces her to. She doesn't care about the party, she doesn't care about the voters, she only cares about being empress of the entire world.

She's looking more and more like Bush, only without the affability.

Probably not going to matter.  I think enough supers would leave her to make up whatever nuclear strike she launched in the Rules Committee.

So it's the lynching of John Brown vs the incineration of Joan of Arc?
