IT's HILLARY

We've all seen the unprecedented amount of openness given to the "challenger" at this year's convention, even to the point of having Hill-friendly 'whips' pacing the floor handing out Hillary signs. Any fair look at this has to agree it's an unbelievably weak allowance from an election "winner." The Politico reports today:

Clinton creates 'whip team' to quell anti-Obama protests
In an unusual move, Hillary Clinton's staff is creating a 40-member "whip team" at the Denver Democratic convention to ensure that her supporters don't engage in embarrassing anti-Obama demonstrations during the floor vote on her nomination, according to people familiar with the planning.

"Is it typical for a losing candidate to have their own whip team? No. But it's also not usual for a losing candidate to get 18 million votes either," said the person.

“We have been and are working closely with the Obama campaign to make sure we have an exciting and unified convention," Strand said. "Our delegate whips, along with the Obama delegate whips, are a part of a team that will be on the floor of the convention to make sure delegates have everything they need, whether that’s answering questions or passing out signs during Hillary's speech. The whips are a traditional part of every convention's floor operations.”

Do you notice the pressure being put on by the mouths of Hillary? The two camps have been "working closely" and plan to host a "unified" convention. That is some pretty heavy-handed talk coming from the "also-ran."

It's obvious isn't it? All this pressure has paid off. The way our side was treated in the Primary will haunt Senator Obama throughout the remainder of the year, only this haunting will be done by real people - us. He has to take her, she's already dominating his convention. The only way he can escape her (and our) ire is to carry her with him. It's also the only way he can win.

Hillary is it. You heard it here first.
