Some Blacks Think Clinton is Out to Destroy Obama's Chances

I had a conversation about this just the other night with Mrs. HolyCoast. If Hillary can't get the nomination, what's her next best outcome? It's not party unity, it's sufficient damage to Obama's campaign that he can't win and therefore leaves the door open for Clinton to make another run in 2012.

Rep. Jim Clyburn of South Carolina agrees:

House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, D-SC, the highest-ranking African-American in the Congress, has some tough assessments of la famille Clinton today.

To Reuters, Clyburn -- who is officially neutral in the Democratic presidential race -- repeated the speculation that Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, is looking to destroy Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, so that Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., wins the White House in November and Clinton can make another run in 2012.

"I heard something, the first time yesterday (in South Carolina), and I heard it on the (House) floor today, which is telling me there are African Americans who have reached the decision that the Clintons know that she can’t win this," Clyburn said. "But they're hell-bound to make it impossible for Obama to win."

I couple of days ago I envisioned election night in November after Obama loses to McCain:

And in New York, Hillary Clinton sits in her New York mansion watching the returns, planning her 2012 campaign, and filling out the divorce paperwork.

It's not her first dream, but it'll do.
