KO

At this point it seems pretty clear Clinton is not going to leave this fight under her own power. Despite the 'split' last night she lost by over 200,000 popular votes - her new favorite metric - in the two states. And while Dean has asked that the super's make their preference known by June 1 I can very much envision her claiming those are just their current preference and they could change their mind before the convention.

So how does obama land a knockout on her? By weaving a narrative of reckless and unbridled ambition. Her biggest negative has always been the perception of her as a shapeshifting chameleon willing to say or do anything for power.

When others would have left Bill, she leveraged him for a Senate seat. When Bush rushed to war, she gave the ok in return for a photo op and sound bites. When buyers remorse set in and theatened her shot at the White House she pretended she didn't know what she was authorizing. When donors pushed her for action she sneered that she wouldn't govern by polls. When the donors dried up and the polls were down, suddenly she scoffed at even the thought of listening to those same sages.

Whenever the Clinton people talk about 2200 delegates, the obama folks just need to say 'look Clinton has decided she is more important than the Democratic party and making sure the American people have a president who is going to work to solve their problems, so she can make up whatever she wants.. There is a process in place that everyone agreed to - including her and Michigan and Florida - and when those last primaries are finished and the supers have had their say we will have a winner. I promise to do my best to help whomever that is. Clinton has made the same pledge; we hope her actions will reflect that promise.'
