Talk about an offer you can't refuse! If you watched the roll call of delegates, then you have just witnessed the art of political maneuvering that was seamless, artful, and at its best.
While I was stewing over the fact that Obama had agreed to allow HRC's name to be placed into nomination, little did I know that Barack would employ some good old Chicago-style politics to let me know that he was still in control. {Standing Ovation & Hat Tip To You!}
So, what did he do, you ask? He gave HRC an offer she could not refuse. He said yes to placing her name in nomination - but at a real and significant price. The price was that New York would not cast its delegate votes but rather HRC would have to interrupt a roll call vote at a time when Barack had two-thirds of the delegate count and nominate him by acclamation. And just in case she reneged on the deal, well there was Illinois ready to step right on in. And no doubt the "story" would leak and thereby ruin any future political plans she would have. Dayum! Brilliant! Simply Brilliant! NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING 'BOUT!
McCain, word to the wise should be sufficient: I'd be real cool if I were you - cause this young man ain't no joke!
Speak the Truth!
Obliged to you for hearing me, and now old SjP ain't got nothing more to say.
