Consider, if there was a rumored video of Cindy McCain at some kind of klan rally, the idea would be dismissed from the start as completely absurd with no traction whatsoever. Given all that's already come out, Michelle Obama sitting on a panel with L.F. discussing "whitey" isn't considered far fetched. <BR/>That it is even considered a possibility is a bigger story than whether or not it's even true.El Oso Furiosohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04432865591655784533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524394.post-48281086321459767732008-06-06T12:58:00.000-05:002008-06-06T12:58:00.000-05:00In 1972, McGovern's Veep pick was changed a few we...In 1972, McGovern's Veep pick was changed a few weeks after he was announced when it came out that he had received electroshock therapy for a mental condition. <BR/><BR/>However, I kind of doubt, given everything that happened in the primary, that Hillary is holding on to anything that could disqualify Obama as the nominee. She has ample back channels to make sure that anything she has that would be damaging gets out. <BR/><BR/>I feel the same way about the "Whitey" video. Show me the video, or I call BS. <BR/><BR/>That said, there's no reason the convention delegates couldn't nominate somebody besides Obama at the convention, even if Hillary did say something like "I officially end my campaign". It just is very, very unlikely to happen.Gimpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08697684896400767802noreply@blogger.com
