    What evidence is there

    that either of the Clintons ever do anything except what they think will benefit the Clintons? If B. Hussein gets elected, that's eight years before HRC would have another shot (even if he didn't win a second term, he would be the nominee for it). They don't want to have to wait that long, but they can't afford to be seen as the ones who wrecked the party's chances this time if they want the nomination in four years. It's a fine, passive-aggressive line they have to walk.
