(no, ie isn't screwing up, Eli just forgot to close a tag after making an edit)

Cause she ain't getting the VP nod, not after what she did.

It's a fine point, but it complicates the tea leaves.

Her aides have made it clear that she will take this fight to the rules committee at the end of the month to try and get Michigan and Florida delegates seated.

I think it's pretty clear that if she succeeds in winning the nomination that way it will be the equivalent of a nuclear blast in the Democratic Party. Huge numbers of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents will simply stay home in the general election.

But I honestly don't believe Clinton cares. The best scenario for her is a Clinton win, the second best is a McCain win (because she could run again in four years) and the worst is an Obama win.

I always wondered why the right-wingers hated the Clintons so much and now I'm starting to understand a little bit of it.
