The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

[scaeagles]

Just to go along with my conspiratorial Hillary-working-behind-the-scenes-to-defeat-Obama theory, a couple of interesting things of note.

First,

Lynn Forester de Rothschild, a prominent Hillary Clinton supporter and member of the Democratic National Committee’s Platform Committee, will endorse John McCain for president on Wednesday, her spokesman tells CNN.

And secondly, while I have no exact quote, one of Hillary's (former? not sure if he still is) chief strategists - Mark Penn - has been chastizing the media for their treatment of Palin, basically saying that Obama as the presidential candidate has not received anything close to the anal exam Palin is getting (this is not to spark a debate as to if that's true or not, just citing what he's said).

I am sure these two individuals are relatively close to Hillary. These two things in particular seem to support my theory that while she's going to play nice for appearances sake, she does not want Obama to win, and will have those close to her doing the dirty work and saying the critical words.
