"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.

I hope you and Keith Olberman are right about the numbers and the poll by NBC that only 52 percent of Hillary supporters are backing Obama contributing to the drop in support for him in the polls. Fortunately, the convention is around the corner to remind Democrats to put any bitterness behind them and come together to put Obama in the white house. Comments such as these from Keith Olberman and yourself are not helpful.
