Not concerned about Harold Ickes' "threat of doom" - just gas from a sore loser

and fervent loyalist to his cause... with no meaningful effect. It's Obama's party now and his supporters will control a majority on the credentials committee by the time it meets anyway.

MI and FL issue is now resolved and Obama now has a dead certain number for achieving a clear majority of the delegates. I expect him to reach it during this coming week. For dramatic purposes it would be nice it it was with the MT results, a state I think we can win in November.

I expect Senator Clinton to step aside in some form (concession, suspension, whatever) no later than Friday and we all move into the GE campaign.

Bitter enders will have to decide for themselves how to proceed from this point forward.

1. Ickes Is Foul. Vile.

Clinton's not going quietly into that good night. She'll be yammering and debtifying for months.

2. Harold has been a good Dem for more years than most of us here so I am

not going to vilify him. He was dead wrong in his arguments today and it was offensive but his main crimes were loyalty to a fault (literally) and that trait all too familiar trait of bigwigs and long-time insiders in any organization that "Daddy knows best".

3. One thing is certain, Ickes is officially a HAS BEEN

OR was that a NEVER BEEN? I get those mixed up all the time.
