You Cross the Clintons at Your Own Peril

POSTED BY: CubbyChaser

So, now that Bill and Hillary Clinton are off the campaign trail, does that mean that everything is safe for all the superdelegates who didn't opt for cowardice and actually endorsed somebody.

And, by somebody, I mean somebody who's not named Clinton...

[Clinton Aide Doug] Band keeps close track of the past allies and beneficiaries of the Clintons who supported Obama's campaign, three Clinton associates and campaign officials said.

Indeed, he is widely known as a member of the Clinton inner circle whose memory is particularly acute on the matter of who has been there for the couple -- and who has not.

Oh, I don't like the sound of that at all. This sounds fishy. Why exactly is it that Band is keeping track of these people?

"The Clintons get hundreds of requests for favors every week," said Terry McAuliffe, the chairman of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. "Clearly, the people you're going to do stuff for in the future are the people who have been there for you."

McAuliffe, who knows of Band's diligent scorekeeping, emphasized that "revenge is not what the Clintons are about." The accounting is more about being practical, he said, adding, "You have to keep track of this."

Oh, well, that makes perfect sense. For favors. Band is keeping track for favors.

And, uh, ya never know when you're gonna need to, eh... not turn up at the bottom of a river.

Ya know what I mean?

Hillary proved that she can be just as sleazy and manipulative as her male politician counterparts.

Barack Obama Will Drink Your Superdelegate's Milkshake

POSTED BY: CubbyChaser

According to whoever it is at ABC News with the unenviable job of trying to keep track of which delegates and which superdelegates are with which candidate, Barack Obama has just surpassed Hillary Clinton in one of the only categories in which he was trailing...

Sen. Obama, D-Ill., picked up two superdelegates this morning giving him a new metric to tout in addition to his current commanding leads in pledged delegates, popular votes, states won, and money raised.

Rep. Donald Payne, D-N.J., switched his endorsement from Clinton to Obama and Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., endorsed Obama. DeFazio was previously uncommitted. With these endorsements, Obama has the support of 267 superdelegates and Clinton has 265 superdelegates.

Be that as it may, Clinton still leads in the all important "intangibles" category.

LAST COMMENT:

Hillary announces her break from the DNC and the launch of her own political splinter group... The Pity Party. Rumor has it the mascot has already been chosen... a cockroach in a yellow and black pantsuit. Pity Party chairperson Ferarro said of the mascot, "we liked the survivability aspect of the cockroach and the fact that is was the insect her base was most familiar with."

Our Next Item Up For Bid, This Superdelegate's Support

POSTED BY: CubbyChaser

With the race for superdelegates in full swing, a Mexican-American California superdelegate has promised to sell his support for some sweet, sweet cash...

He says he'll sell his vote for a price. A very high price: $20 million. Sacramento superdelegate Steven Ybarra says that eight-figure price is peanuts for the presidency.

When asked whether it was right to offer what is clearly a quid pro quo?

"Yeah, absolutely. People do it all
