He couldn't have done it without her...
Did Hillary just attempt to secure her spot on the United States Supreme Court? Perhaps so. In one of the most unsurprising moments in the convention - given that the plan had been leaked to the media since SUNDAY that she would do it - Hillary Clinton called for the suspension of the count, and the affirmation of Barack Obama to be the nominee by voice vote.
She had more votes cast for her.
She had more supporters, and depending on how Florida and Michigan would've gone in the actual count, she could have had more votes on the floor at the convention.
Knowing that Hillary doesn't do anything without triangulating something out of the deal for herself, one has to wonder - WHAT did she get?
And WHEN does she get it?
History in the making indeed, but isn't it sad - that it wasn't done the way every other Democratic nominee has been nominated in this brief century - or the previous?
Even when
I was the first pundit to predict that Obama would be the nominee - I never believed it would come down to hi-jinx, smoke-filled rooms, and the promise of Hillary looming large in the Supreme Court's future...
It's actually a pretty slimy way for a man who is a descendant of several races to be back-doored into the nomination...
