Hillary and Barack should both appear on the podium at the same time. Security personnel, preferably ones that look like KGB, should be posted at the doors. Being that a standing ovation is command performance, the KGB should remove from the building, and possibly from civilization, each delegate who quits clapping and cheering. After all but 10 percent of the delegates have collapsed or been arrested, those left get to decide the nominee. (Source of this "inspiration," Solzhenitsyn.)

Anyone who believes that the Democrats are "blessed with two fine candidates" is nuts. The Democrats are cursed with a shrill bitch whom everyone hates and a smooth-talking empty suit who looks more like a Sharptonesque race hustler every day. Anyway, this proposal solves exactly nothing. Someone with a legitimate claim to the nomination is going to get shafted. Sure, the shafting is out of the way earlier, but maybe if it's postponed until the end of the summer a clear opinion poll winner will emerge by then. I knew I shouldn’t have clicked the link.

Hillary will keep the fight going to make sure Obama loses big. Around about Nov. 5th or 6th she will offer to be the unifying force of the party along with the head of the party. Her husband. BTW the Swift Boaters were headed by a Democrat. O'Neil. How ironic. Not going to happen.

So there is no chance of a brutal super delegate war at the convention. These stories are all Rovian SwiftMyths designed to make us look as mean and small as Republicans.
