From Reuters’ Tales from the Trail at Reuters.com:

“House Democratic Whip James Clyburn, of South Carolina and the highest ranking black in Congress, also said he has heard speculation that Clinton is staying in the race only to try to derail Obama and pave the way for her to make another White House run in 2012.”

Talked about this take on things in a post a few weeks ago, (see Clinton a Republican (if she can’t win)), and this has been echoed by others. The Clintons are only in it for themselves, and prefer that McCain win the election over Obama as it gives them a better shot in 2012. For them, the campaign of 2008 is over, time to start stacking the deck for the next run by screwing Obama now.
