Meet the Press leaves me Depressed

I hope most Americans were watching this Sunday's Meet the Press with Tim Russert.It was very clear from what the Clinton camp's mouthpiece was saying that the Clinton campaign knows they've lost the race for delegates and plan to try to either use delegates from Michigan & Florida which both camps had agreed were disqualified,or use the so called super delegates,Washington insiders the Clinton's feel they can dominate.Both schemes would require backroom dealings and under handed rule bending to succeed. This is classic Clinton politics and if it should come down to this kind of tactic at the Denver convention.It will be the one way that the democrats could conceivably lose the election in November.The people who support Hilary Clinton will support the Obama run for the presidency.The Obama people are so loyal to him and so opposed to everything the Clinton's stand for,they would probably not vote at all.Obama has drawn people who have never or have not recently felt any reason to participate in politics.They would probably rather stay home than to have any part in another four years of a Clinton in the White House.
