Hillary may be contemplating tearing the Democratic party apart in an attempt to gain the nomination.

With at least 50 percent of the Democratic Party's 30-member Rules and Bylaws Committee committed to Clinton, her backers could -- when the committee meets at the end of this month -- try to ram through a decision to seat the disputed 210-member Florida and 156-member Michigan delegations. Such a decision would give Clinton an estimated 55 or more delegates than Obama, according to Clinton campaign operatives. The Obama campaign has declined to give an estimate.

Using the Rules and Bylaws Committee to force the seating of two pro-Hillary delegations would provoke a massive outcry from Obama forces. Such a strategy would, additionally, face at least two other major hurdles, and could only be attempted, according to sources in the Clinton camp, under specific circumstances:

First, this coming Tuesday, Clinton would have to win Indiana and lose North Carolina by a very small margin - or better yet, win the Tar Heel state. She would also have to demonstrate continued strength in the contests before May 31.

Second, and equally important, her argument that she is a better general election candidate than Obama -- that he has major weaknesses which have only been recently revealed -- would have to rapidly gain traction, not only within the media, where she has experienced some success, but within the broad activist ranks of the Democratic Party.

If the Clinton camp attempts this coup I think we can all agree that her career is finished.

Not only will she fail to get the nomination, but she will certainly lose her bid for re-election to the Senate.

And after that the Clinton name will go down in history as the most arrogant, power mad, political dynasty that has ever vomited forth from the bowels of this country.

She will start a fire that will engulf this nation and destroy the Democratic party forever.

And she will hand this Presidency to the Republican party on a silver platter.
