I find it curious that The Scotsman broke this story but hey, the story itself isn’t surprising:
Falling poll numbers and a string of high-profile blunders have convinced party elders that she must now bow out of the primary race.
Former president Carter and former vice-president Gore have already held high-level discussions about delivering the message that she must stand down for the good of the Democrats.
“They’re in discussions,” a source close to Carter told Scotland on Sunday. “Carter has been talking to Gore. They will act, possibly together, or in sequence.”…
A number of options are being considered by the higher echelons of the Democrats, but they fall roughly into two categories. One is for Carter and Gore to go to Clinton privately and ask her to step down. The other is for both men to appear in public and endorse Obama – a move which would see a majority of superdelegates go with them.
The campaign to force Clinton to make an early exit is being masterminded in Congress, home to the most influential of the superdelegates.
This is whats its come down to in the Democrat bourgeois version of a primary in which only the chosen few get to choose who the nominee will be. A President who served one term and couldn’t win a second, and a VP who lost a Presidential run, are now the crème de la crème of those who will crown the prince…or princess.
Amazing. To bolster the case for the behind the scenes shenanigans look here.
I’m betting Hillary stays in it till the fat lady sings tho.
