If so, they could just as easily have waited another couple of days. All reports from insiders talking to them say > this, plus it's obvious from the trend.

He didn't have control to make them declare before the primaries were over, but he certainly had control after the primaries were over to get them to hold off on declaring. <snip> > I've talked to a number of people today > involved in politics and they're all talking about Clinton's > lack of propriety - on the day Obama secures the nomination That would be the day enough superdelegates declared to put him over the top. The primaries didn't do that. The timing of the last primaries was engraved in stone; that of the declarations of the superdelegates was not. "The day Obama secures the nomination" was up to him; it wasn't decreed by God or even the party. <snip> > Judy thinks Obama was to skip making a > critical speech on a critical night with full TV coverage > to kickstart the general campaign because last night was to > continue to be all about hillary? Not "skip," just postpone the "critical night" for a few days. The timing was up to him, as noted. Last night was Hillary's final night. Given the closeness of the race, why shouldn't she get to go out in a blaze of glory? It's not as if he'd trampled her in the dust; he just barely edged her out. She deserved a big celebration for the fight she put up, and it would have been zero skin off his nose to let her have it.
