Pro-Hillary blogger: Will Barack Throw Mama From the Train?
Larry Johnson, "No Quarter"

I now have it from two three sources close to senior Republicans that they have video dynamite--Michelle Obama railing against "whitey" at Jeremiah Wright's church. Republicans may have a lousy record when it comes to the economy and the management of the war in Iraq, but they are hell on wheels when it comes to opposition research. Someone took the chance and started reviewing the recordings from services at Jeremiah Wright's United Church of Christ. Holy smoke!! I am told there is a clip that is being held for the fall to drop at the appropriate time. The last thing Barack and Michelle need is a new clip that raises further questions about her judgment and temperament.

Evaluate the possibilities, shall we?

1. The tape exists--certainly plausible, but the probabilities are hard to judge. Michelle is an angry lady, bitterly clinging to her religions (black liberation theology; Marxism) and gun control, and she lacks a certain sense of message discipline.

1.1 The Trunks have it--if it exists, well, yeah, they might

1.2 Hillary! has it--if it exists, yew betcha the Clintons have it!

1.2a The Clintons have it, but when it surfaces they want everyone to think that the source is those evil, mean-spirited, partisan RethugliKKKans who'll stop at nothing! Nothing!--Highly likely.

2. No such tape exists--again, probabilities are hard to assess. If there's no tape, the Clintons and/or one of their overenthusiastic supporters--that means you, Larry!--are running a bluff in the hope that it'll panic and stampede the superdelegates. Only works if (1) nobody calls them on their bluff and asks to see the tape ("But we don't have it!") and (2) the supers swing over to Hillary. If they get called on it and can't produce, or if Barack wins the nomination and no such tape ever surfaces, it'll stand revealed as a fraud.
