You heard it here first.
As Clinton loses the Democratic nomination by trying everything except calling Barak Obama John McCain’s illegitimate black baby, her transformation into a Republican will be nearly complete. The process is well underway already. And there’s only one place it can lead, unless she grows a conscience and gives up.
Obama made a comment that correlated gun- and religious advocacy with parts of the country that are being devastated by our new modern economy. Clinton, seemingly overnight, has become one of the righteously indignant hordes, holding her bible and guns up for all to see. How dare Obama tell the truth. He has no right. It’s downright insulting, it is.
It’s like in the movie Contact, where Anne Arroway tells the truth, and Drummond gets the job because he cites ‘God’ as his co-pilot on the trip to wherever.
So this is where it will end up. McCain will get the nomination for the Party of GOP, and someone will suggest a "unity ticket" — an attempt to unify Democrats and Republicans by putting together the two most polarizing figures in the race, who, in fact, agree on almost everything anyway — corporate control, perpetual war, and power for themselves above all else.
I will say this — I haven’t given money to Obama yet because he refuses to hold BushCo accountable for their crimes. But I will never vote for Clinton. I’d rather vote Green if she steals the nomination. And if so, I predict one of the lowest voter turnout elections in history, as millions of Americans choose between a bloated puppet who has figuratively sold his soul for a shot at the big prize, and a jaded puppeteer, who apparently never had one to begin with.

If McCain picks Clinton as his running mate, Obama will have to pick Lieberman to achieve similar satire :^)
Seriously, Obama is the odds-on favorite to win the Democratic nomination, despite Clinton’s shenanigans with the super-delegates. He will pick a running mate with gravitas and executive experience, such as Richardson, Kaine, or Napolitano. McCain will pick a younger person, also with executive experience, such as Romney, Pawlenty, or Crist, assuming Powell turns him down. Although I’ll vote for McCain, I think Obama will be our next President and do a credible job.
