Hillary's Power Play -- Split The Party, Win in 2012 For The DLC

It is all about power. Her imminent loss in these primaries, and the resultant weakening of political clout, has forced her hand. She is dividing the party, sacrificing what should be an easy Democratic win in the GE to further her ambitions.

A win for Obama this year strips the Clintons of their preeminent position as heads of the party. His success would negate any chance of them reclaiming the WH come 2012 and they are playing the desperation card now in a malicious maneuver to thwart such an outcome. The party and country be damned! 'McCain would be a sitting duck in 4 years.'

Shedding the mantle of power is not an option for the Clintons. It is win at all costs. They have invested too much.
