Barry Can’t Win

This is the conclusion I’ve reached after reading a lot of sharp political bloggers – on the right and the left – this evening. So here is my prediction.

There will be all sorts of secret conversations among the Democratic Party elite, i.e. the Superdelegates, over the next few weeks concerning Barry’s continued drop in the polls and the mistake they made in choosing him over Hillary. They will decide that the only way out of this losing situation is to convince Barry that Hillary is their best chance to beat McCain and that he should drop down to the VP slot while Hillary takes the crown. Something she can do somewhat legitimately if they seat Florida and Michigan at the convention. This ticket will unite the party by appeasing the black voting block who abandoned Hillary for Barry in the primaries and the Hillary supporters who were abandoned by the party for Barry.

The only question here is whether Hillary will be willing to take this deal. Sure she will be the belle of the ball if she should win in November, but with only two months after the convention to rally the troops and get her message out her winning is not a sure thing by any measure (except measured against Barry’s chances).

Lose now and she is probably done forever.

On the other hand, should she decide to let Barry fail on his own, she has four years to rebuild bridges in the party and improve her own record for a run in 2012.

Anyway, that’s my take on this thing and it’s worth exactly what you paid to read it here. Minus Internet charges.

UPDATE:

I wanted to link to a lot of the stuff I had been reading that made me make this prediction but frankly I was too lazy to do it. However, here is a belated link that sums-up what I have been reading very nicely I think. It even links to some of the stuff I was reading.
