Prometheus 6

After the massacre of February 5, for Hillary Rodham Clinton to succeed would've required a Democratic version of Bush's victory over Gore in 2000. The numbers just weren't there for her to win legitimately. David defeated Goliath but the media colluded with the Clintons to create an image of viability. What Barack did was deliver a political version of the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique.

The real question for Senator Obama and you guys is does Barack take this tarnished prize or does he leave Washington and stage a successful run for governor of Illinois and seek redemption in 2012 or 2016? It is undeniable that HRC has endorsed the Republican challenger over Obama. She can't take that back. But has the Democratic leadership, by its silence, also done the same? Wouldn't Barack merely be a sacrificial lamb or scapegoat in the fall campaign? Shouldn't he let Hillary take the fall?

No. 

Wouldn't Barack merely be a sacrificial lamb or scapegoat in the fall campaign? Shouldn't he let Hillary take the fall?

That makes no sense to me.
