Does Clinton still have dreams?

Hillary Clinton is caught on video telling supporters she wouldn’t oppose her name being placed in nomination in Denver.

Her key adviser Howard Wolfson suggests that if the creepy (“my wife’s cancer was in remission”) philandering John Edwards had not been in the race in Iowa, Clinton would have won the nomination.

Billary appears to have bullied their way into speaking two nights at the convention. Will you be watching? I’m hoping the Cubbies are on at the same time.

Does Hillary Clinton still have dreams of grabbing the nomination? Or is she working to sabotage Obama’s campaign, hoping he loses so she can run in four years?

Education Notes Online wonders.

I’ve been writing on the issue of whether the Clinton/AFT/UFT machine really wants McCain to win so they can run Hill for Pres in ’12 for quite a while. That the fall back position for the Clinton machine [of which the UFT/AFT machine is part and parcel] was to set up the campaign against McCain – in 2012.

However, Talking Points Memo reports,

TPM Election Central reports on the contours of the forthcoming deal between the Obama and Hillary camps on her role at the Convention: her nomination will be put to a roll call vote as a symbolic nod to her hard-fought primary campaign, but she will urge her supporters to back Obama.

Hmmm. Fox in the hen house?

And TPM also charts out how McCain is using the identical play book as Clinton’s campaign strategy.

At this point, the pattern is overwhelmingly clear: Again and again, John McCain’s attacks on Barack Obama have been virtually identical to the ones Hillary waged against him during the primaries.

To paraphrase: Didn’t work the first time. Second time, farce.
