Divided They Fall
Assertion (I): If the SuperDelegates end up choosing Hillary over Obama, then many Democrats -- Blacks, especially -- will howl in anger at a circumstance where the popular vote didn't decide the day (again!), and may become extremely pissed-off. Blacks will cite racism, after a black man was in the lead, and STILL got put behind a white woman. "Go to the back of the bus," all over again. You know it.
Assertion (II): And yet, it is being argued, with statistical analyses and other means, that Obama cannot beat McCain. Therefore, the closer Clinton follows Obama, before the Convention, the less reason for Obamacrats to call for Hillary's head. (And Dean's head, since he's running this circus) Right?
Assertion (III): And so, I am beginning to wonder if some members of the Democratic party may even begin to see it in the best interests of the Party to clandestinely "help" Hillary and hinder Obama. Because I believe: in the end, some of them are more interested in winning against the Republicans than in pleasing everyone.

Additional Questions (IV): Just how pissed-off could they become? Enough to cross-over and vote McCain? Enough to radically change the internal politics of the Democratic Party? (The most major change since the New Democrats took over in the 1960s?) Enough that some Blacks might leave the Democratic Party permanently? And, could Hillary winning the Presidency only extend the duration of resultant bitterness? (Or, putting it differently, would a win for McCain better allow the Democrats to regain their cohesion against a common enemy?)
