An idea has been percolating in my brain over the past few weeks, as I witness the media event that is the Obama world tour. I'm watching him continue his domination of the news with little real substance, and yet McCain is still on his tail in the polls. This has to be troubling the Democratic Party leadership.

Then it hits me... there's something going on underwraps, and I'm going to blow the lid off it.

Except that I'm not the only one who's been thinking, and someone else beat me to it.

When the Democratic Convention gets underway at month's end, there could very well be some serious drama up to, and possibly including, a nomination for Hillary Clinton as Democratic candidate for President.

Think back, her delegate total wasn't that far short of Obama's. His big lead was on the superdelegate side -- those government and party bigwigs that are focused above all on taking back the White House and have no problem switching allegiances. In fact, if Hillary can get a hundred or so supers to switch positions or even just sit out the first vote, Obama won't have enough votes to get nominated on the first try. After that, the "pledged" delegates can vote for whoever they feel like.

In a further show of arrogance, Obama is calling for party officials to fully seat the delegates from Florida and Michigan and grant them full voting rights. Apart from potentially causing chaos next primary season, this move increases Hillary's pledged delegates and makes it easier for her to blindside him. I love this quote from the article:

This is proof that the man should not be negotiating with Ahmadinejad. If he cannot think strategically and recognize his vulnerability to a last minute ambush at the convention, he would be eaten alive in big league world affairs.

This convention is going to be more interesting than any of us realized...
