The spectacle grows plus amusant:
While lobbying for his endorsement, Hillary Rodham Clinton flatly told New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson that Barack Obama could not win the presidency if he got the Democratic nomination.
"He cannot win, Bill. He cannot win," she said, according to a report by ABC News.
Despite her appeal, Richardson ultimately endorsed Obama - which sent Bill Clinton into a purple rage last weekend during a private meeting with California superdelegates.
"Five times to my face [Richardson] said that he would never do that," the former president thundered.
One of the roughly 15 superdelegates in attendance told the San Francisco Chronicle, "It was one of the worst political meetings I have ever attended."
Note that this specific matter gets curiouser and curiouser. From the Republican perspective, the beauty of all of this is that while Hillary Clinton may no longer be able to win the Democratic Presidential nomination, she is making it plain that she does not want Obama to win the general election and she is doing all she can to delay the point at which Obama can safely claim the Democratic nomination and be able to unify the Democratic party against John McCain and the Republicans.
I would suggest that someone make a movie about this eventually. But no movie can possibly be better than the real thing.

If Hillary and Obama were Republicans, Oliver Stone would be rushing to get that movie out the door in time for an October release ;)
I would guess she read it on Obama & counted the plethora of skeletons in his closet, likely much that has not seen the air. Daily the environment for Obama becomes more politically target rich, while there's not much new (relatively) to learn about her. I think it's telling that the democrat leadership seems more willing to hack off the "white women" & "blue collar" vote than the African-American & education establishment vote.
