GOP: Here's to Hillary's big party!

Nothing would delight Republicans more than for the Clintons to upstage Barack Obama at the Democratic National Convention.

    Half the Democratic Party, juneausmog? 18 million die hard Hillary supporters? Hillary's debt could have been paid off so much sooner if only her die hard supporters (not the ones that maxed out after $2,300) but you know, the ones who could have at least given her a couple of dollars would have saved her the great embarassment of still being in debt - imagine the Clintons having to dip into their meager savings of $109 million.

    I don't think they can afford to rain on Obama's convention. Their 18 million (a myth that Keith Olberman quickly exposed - you know, numbers and the Clintons have a strange relationship - even rules - remember Florida and Michigan) has dwindled down to less than 40,000, a mere drop in the bucket of Clinton groundswell. When they tried to strongarm Obama into giving Hillary a VP spot with the VoteBoth campaign, all they could muster was 40,000 signatures.

    Hopefully, the Clintons will behave and get behind the candidate. Not doing so, will jeopardize her Senate seat come re-election.
