Strong Superdelegate Backlash Growing Against Clinton
By Brent Budowsky
Created May 14 2008 - 9:15am
Behind the scenes, there is now a very substantial anger growing among
many
senior Democrats and superdelegates towards Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton
(N.Y.) staying in the race while playing what many Democrats privately now
believe is the race card.
The feeling is that the only reason Hillary remains in the race is to use
certain remaining states to make the "working-class white" argument that
many Democrats, a number of whom have been sup****ting Clinton, find deeply
offensive.
This gives credence to those who believe that Hillary wants to elect Sen.
John McCain (R-Ariz.) so she can run in 2012.
Do not believe the spin; the "white people's" argument has done extreme
damage to the Clinton campaign and, if this continues, her future in
national politics.
Expect a major surge of superdelegates to Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) in
the
coming days if Hillary does not drop out within 24-48 hours, and expect
significant defections from other leading Democrats who sup****t Hillary
today, but will not buy into any attempt to undermine the rightful
nominee,
Obama.
