What would it take for Clinton to concede defeat? An insider remembers -- and draws lessons from -- the backroom deals that ended another brutal, racially charged Democratic slugfest.
  • Thank You, Mr. Conley

    This article is fantastic. It shows you real politics, not the kind political pipers play to teh beatific faces of the gullible. Surely something similar happened in 1960, between Joe and Jack Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson.

    If anyone thinks deal maker Barack Obama and his backroom advisers is not capable of cutting something similar with the Clintons, call Virgin for your free ticket on the first space tour.

    The Marxist express is on its way to Washington D.C. I think by now some of those people who saddled the Republican Party with "decorated veteran", "straight talk express" McCain, are seeing the writing on the wall. I already see excuses like "Well, McCain is the best we can offer this year", or "Well, who else is there?" to justify picking picking loser.

    If Barack Obama doesn't get the presidency this year, he never will. They can't keep the paint on the pig long enough to fool the voters again, or amass such pervasive media support for a candidate. Trouble is, I think the engineer driving the marxist express will get to the White House station. And if he gets there, he will stay 8 years. The country will be dramatically "changed" forever, most likely.

    Lots of tears are shed over answered prayers.
