Dem Nightmare Donors Leaving as the Delegaes Dispute

As the DNC Chair, Howard Dean is freaking out about the top Donors getting so frustrated that donation money is drying up.

This would defintely spell disaster, although there is not much they can do as Obama and Clinton get down and dirty.

I think we've overlooked the tenacity of Clinton. The mud has only just started to fling. I do like the 'high road' Obama has taken- but I'm not sure how long he can stay clean.

The longer the primary goes out, the more money is dropped in it. Come the general election, they'll have squandered the huge money advantage they were initially expecting.

Plus Obama has taken a big hit in the head to head polls vs McCain in the last couple days due to his recent controversies. Maybe one of them will buckle and be willing to go second chair in a split ticket, although that is hard to swallow. Who knows.

There is no way in hell Clinton will settle for VP. Obama might, but I have a hard time imagining that just based on the way he has been treated by the Clintons and I think that would turn off a sizable chunk of his supporters if he accepted it.

What we're all seeing in this is the Clintons absolute lust to win. It's all or nothing at all for them. They don't care about Obama or any of the feel good that goes along with him. They want to WIN at all costs.

They don't even care if it craters the party.

Either they win or they trash it all.
