Clinton Pursuing 'The Tonya Harding Option'

This just keeps getting better and better...

l just spoke with a Democratic Party official, who asked for anonymity so as to speak candidly, who said we in the media are all missing the point of this Democratic fight.

The delegate math is difficult for Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, the official said. But it's not a question of CAN she achieve it. Of course she can, the official said.

The question is -- what will Clinton have to do in order to achieve it?

What will she have to do to Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, in order to eke out her improbable victory?

She will have to "break his back," the official said. She will have to destroy Obama, make Obama completely unacceptable.

"Her securing the nomination is certainly possible - but it will require exercising the 'Tonya Harding option.'" the official said. "Is that really what we Democrats want?"

The Tonya Harding Option -- the first time I've heard it put that way.

It implies that Clinton is so set on ensuring that Obama doesn't get the nomination, not only is she willing to take extra-ruthless steps, but in the end neither she nor Obama win the gold...."

So is she going to go for his race, his religions, his grandma, his mama...?
Tiz the only report of such talk, and I'm not sure I trust a single-source story from an ABC blogger, but if it's true, I'll supply the pipe.

if i were bill i would consider tonya harding and nancy karigan.

oh wait you were refering to the beating thing

[dragonrider]

I consider this to be pretty far-fetched, almost as far-fetched as the Al-Gore-brokered-convention scenario. However, if either of these two candidates resorts to outright destroying the other Tanya Harding style, then I would actually be in FAVOR of the Al Gore thing.

well from the way its lookin the only way to find a winner is goin to be on "FRIDAY NIGHT SMACK DOWN"

id probably order that pay-per-veiw

[dragonrider]

Maybe instead of fighting each other, they could both just agree to mud-wrestle Tonya Harding. Whoever wins, get's the nomination. They could run it on pay-per-veiw with procedes going to the DNC for the rest of the campaign!

Oh no, the bitch is going to break Obama's legs?
