Tubthumping!
In her continued quest for the presidency, she promised, "I might stumble, I might get knocked down, but as long as you stand with me, I'll get right back up again" -- an image that no doubt evokes some kind of phantasmagoric Weeble (they wobble but the don't fall down) for Obama supporters already recoiling at Clinton's ineluctable march toward Denver.
Actually, it suggests Chumbawamba...and by extension all one-hit wonders. Obama supporters can take comfort that a year after the song hit #2 the group had already dropped off the radar and now toddles around in very well deserved obscurity.
Don't have any problem with Clinton's supporters stealing "Yes We Can," though, since Obama shamelessly lifted it from Chavez and the UFW in the first place. One good "borrowing" deserves another.
As for me, my dream scenario at this point is that the fight goes to the convention floor in Denver and ends in total stalemate. That way maybe the party will be forced to reboot and choose from one of the party's adults (Biden, Dodd, Richardson). Won't happen, of course, but I can fantasize.
