CLINTON THE MCCAIN MACHINE
I was an official at our Senate District Convention.

1) Over 70% of the Obama Delegates and Alternates from the Precinct Conventions showed up
2) Somewhere around 40% of the Clinton Delegates and Alternates from the Precinct Conventions showed up

Clearly the Clinton Supporters are not really committed to Clinton. Sure they will push a button but will they stand in line for hours?

I makes me wonder if these are the cross-over republicans that we are hearing about. They'll tip the scale for her but don't ask them to spend too much effort. They show up for the primaries but won't caucus.

If Clinton wins the nomination then her buddy McCain that she and Bill are supporting will win in November.

1. I think that the strategy the Clinton campaign is pursuing
is unlikely to win the primary, but entirely unlikely to win the GE.

But I am unconvinced that anyone not brain dead could assume they could run this way, and expect another bite at the apple in '12.
