Dick Morris: Hillary Still in The Game!
If she’s nice to Obama, if she’s confusing everybody, if you just can’t understand…don’t worry that’s what Dick Morris is here for: he’ll figure it all out for ya and serve it on a plate!
Why won’t Hillary just concede that she has lost and pull out of the race? Why does she persist in keeping her delegates in line for her and not releasing them to Obama? Why does she feign party unity while, in fact, undermining it?
The Clintons never do anything without a lot of thinking and planning. There is no benign explanation for her maneuvers. They have several options that they are deliberately keeping open by their increasingly awkward positioning.
Here’s what they’re up to:
1. The Obama Stumbles Option
As Hillary says, June is “early” in politics when the convention is not to be held until the end of August, unusually late for a Democratic conclave. And, as Tip O’Neill says “a week is a long time in politics.” So is three months.
Rumors abound about incriminating material on Obama. The potential for misstep is amplified now that he adjusts to a new task of taking on McCain — who knows how many other preachers there are in the closet? Hillary’s skilled force of private detectives, who we once called the secret police, are doubtless diving into garbage dumpsters all over America to come up with whatever they can.
Hillary wants to be there to exploit any mistakes. She will be watching and waiting. Suppose Obama flubs a line on the campaign trail or damaging material emerges from the Rezko prosecution?
Hillary will indicate her continued availability as an alternative. Remember that superdelegates can change their minds anytime they want. Now they are leaving Hillary to back Obama, the winner, but they could easily go the other way. By not releasing her pledged delegates, she remains within striking distance of the nomination if an Obama faux pas leads to an exodus of superdelegates from his camp.

There is no honest reason for Clinton to be doing this.
That leaves what she is and what those who have pulled every trick to place her in the nomination will do now.
Richard Nixon was a paragon of virtue compared to Clinton. This is a totally immoral person.
She tried to blackmail the VP slot.
She invoked assassination.
No, these are desperate power hungry people and those who want to place her in position have a great deal to cover up.
Watch out: this could get ugly.
