Cover your ears, Obamacans: Walter Mondale’s former campaign manager has constructed a bizarre and highly unlikely “nightmare scenario” for you that involves Hillary Clinton getting the vice presidential nomination without your Barry’s permission, basically by guilting all the superdelegates into backing her.

Mean old Congressman Rahm Emanuel, speaking at the elitist New Yorker Conference today, pretty much said that Obama is the nominee. Since Rahm Emanuel is a Democratic Leader, this was big news. But since he is an undecided superdelegate who — like others — could just END THIS RACE RIGHT NOW PLEASE, he refused to do this and retracted his statement through a catty little spokesperson.

THREE MORE SUPERDELEGATES, PLUS A UNION ENDORSEMENT: Hopey just got a nod from the American Federation of Government Employees and picked up another three superdelegates (including a Clinton traitor). That means Obama is now five (and a half?) superdelgates shy of Hillary’s total. [AP/Yahoo]

A WAY FOR HILLARY TO WIN? A superdelegate in California is selling his vote for $20 Million Dollar$. He will then give the money to Mexican voters. Is this the magic math Hillary needs to succeed? [CBS 13]

WHAT ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT? WHAT? WHAT?: Suck it, Drudge! Apparently Hillary is meeting with superdelegates in a magical secret meeting at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in our Washington D.C. right now. [Marc Ambinder]

So Hillary Clinton has announced that she will stay in the presidential race until there is a nominee. By most measures, there already is one, so she is stupid. But Elite Math still says that she has a chance of winning this thing, as the above scenario from CNN’s thrill-a-minute delegate counter shows. In this one, she will clinch the nomination (with one extra delegate!) by winning 45% of undecided superdelegates and 100% of remaining pledged delegates. Yes She Can! What other possibilities are there for Hillary to become president, according to this fun CNN game? MORE »

SHE HAS POLITICAL COOTIES: From Drudge, who is at his best when making fun of Hillary: “CONGRESSIONAL SOURCE: Hillary having trouble finding superdelegates who will meet with her… ‘No one wants to see her today’… Developing…” [Drudge Report]

The last DNC chairman under Bill Clinton says everyone must support Obama now, or else. Joe Andrew ran the Democratic National Committee from 1999 to 2001, which means he’s at least partly to blame for George W. Bush. Until today, he was a superdelegate for Hillary. [Bloomberg]
