There has been a lot going around about Clinton trying to sabotage Obama in 2008 so she can have another go in 2012. While this is possible, I don't buy it. This line of reasoning assumes that Obama is the nominee. So far, so good. It seems nearly impossible that Obama won't be the Democratic nominee. But where the logic seems to have fallen off the tracks is that if indeed Obama fails to win the White House and it is even remotely traceable to something that Clinton did, Democrats will most certainly blame her and are not likely to be forgiving. She will be seen as the one who spoiled it for her own selfish reasons.
I personally don't think that this is her plan. I think she is trying to honor all the people who have sacrificed so much for her campaign. I think she wants to set an example that strong willed individuals do not ever give up while there is a chance (however slim) that he or she can prevail. Its not the route I would take, but I think I get it.
I could be wrong. But if MI and FL are seated in some fashion after the May 31st meeting, I think she will bow out within a few days after June 3rd.
