And now that Obama is the rightful nominee, the Clintonistas begin their spin

After waging one of the most violent Presidential primary campaigns in the history of the Democratic Party, Hillary Clinton is not only NOT ready concede --even though Obama is 10 delegates away from the "magic" 2,118.

Since it'll be a day in hell before she and her faithful husban let go their choke-hold on the Democratic Party, the Clintonistas are now using every media outlet they can find to spin the Hillary as the "best" option for the vice-presidency.

The lastest skidmark on print comes right from our little city paper, The New York Observer (and apologies to Azi, whom I love and respect) :

NEW YORK (CNN) – With Barack Obama on the verge of securing enough delegates to become the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, a New York newspaper signaled it will use its editorial page Wednesday to urge him to pick rival Hillary Clinton as his running mate.

The New York Observer informed the media Tuesday evening of its intention to endorse Clinton to be Obama’s vice presidential pick. Prior to the New York primary on February 5, the newspaper threw its support behind Obama to be the Democratic presidential nominee.

What the fuckety hell?

Let me channel Nancy Reagan : Say no to drugs, kids. Say no to drugs.

Oh boo fucking hoo. Obama gets to say and do whatever he wants like play the race card, accuse Clinton of making racist remarks (which wasn't hard to assert because of the lack of analytical skills by the punditocracy), and used tired old Republican talking points in his attack on Clinton's progressive health care plan.

But it's Clinton who did the damage? Please.

If what Clinton did was violent (it wasn't) Obama does not have a prayer against McCain. And I loathe McCain so I'm pretty disappointed.
