Neither Clinton wants McCain to win because they care about issues like poverty, health care, the environment, and civil rights. They will fall in line, deliver the great speeches both are capable of, and allow Obama and his supporters to continue his dream--that he is the second coming. The press, however may be a problem. Having lied about Democratic candidates for decades (with the help of so-called liberal columnists like Dowd and Rich), they, despite abandoning their first love, McCain, for a younger, prettier love, Obama, may be unable to help themselves and reflexively attack Obama. Democrats need to be ready to keep them honest.
