“The Cardoza 40″: Exodus of Clinton Delegates Begins
I love this story.
The endorsement by US Rep. Dennis Cardoza (D-California) of Obama today sends an extremely firm message to the Clinton campaign, and not only because he was, until today, a Clinton superdelegate.
The Field has learned that Cardoza is the first of a group of at least 40 Clinton delegates, many of them from California, that through talking among themselves came to a joint decision that all of them would vote for Obama at the convention. They have informed Senator Clinton that it’s time to unite around Obama, and that they will be coming out, one or two at a time, and announcing their switch between now and the convention if Senator Clinton doesn’t do the same.
Fortunately, some people in the Democratic party are finally stepping up and saying "You lost. Stop calling for Obama's assassination. That's enough of the nonsense."
Unfortunately, what they don't get is that if Hillary is not above openly discussing Obama's assassination, then the craven vixen is certainly not above exploiting the MIchigan/Florida party rift to her own advantage. Even if all the delegates and super-delegates switch to Obama, she'll use some tortured Al Gore-type math to claim that she won the popular vote, and split the Democratic party like a walnut at the Democratic Convention in Denver.
As for all of those of you that are expecting for Hillary to finally step up and do the right thing, stay tuned. You ain't seen nothing yet.
