Hilbot 9000 is ready to concede the Democratic Party nomination for the general election to Senator Unicorn but everything else is apparently on the table, including the Veepsidency, putting the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate in a real bind - forced to choose between Hilbot-directed defections to Psychogeezer by her dragoons or the specter of the Clintons attempting to hijack his White House.

On a conference call with Democratic supporters, ABC News reported today, the Hilbot 9000 said she would accept the Veep’s gig when offered - which is obvious code for, “I don’t get that offer and I send my pant-suited stormtroopers to vote for the Psychogeezer - and you are toast, fuckface.”

Although the Hilbot 9000’s campaign is demounting, it is clear the psychological warfare operation against the Obama campaign is well underway and gaining momentum. All through the campaign, Hilbot 9000 has made several twisted references to Obama’s possible death or assassination and borrowed from the play books of Lee Atwater and Karl Rove, insinuating variously that Obama was a muslim fanatic and siccing Geraldine Ferraro on him to call him an uppity darkie.

The Hilbot 9000’s raging hostility to an Obama presidency is clear. If Hilbot 9000 can’t have the presidency or at least the Veepsidency as consolation prize, she is going to destroy whatever chances the Unicorn may have ever had. No one doubts she has the tools, the will and the burning hatred to inflict lasting and maybe terminal damage on his general election campaign.

Senator Unicorn is placed in the challenging position of negotiating with a megalomaniac who’d crucify us all for an extra footnote in high school civics texts. Unicorn’s quandary is clear. He can reject Hilbot 9000’s overture to take up the Veep’s gig and face her condemnation, and watch while she orders her storm-trooping legions to defect to Psychogeezer’s camp and vote for a guy who abandoned his crippled wife. Or he can put her on the ticket and face at least 4 years of watching her attempt to freelance her position into new political opportunities for her, her sidekick, L’il Abner and their grasping mob of political thugs.

The campaign for Hillary ‘12 would start the day of Obama’s inauguration and the first and only target would be Obama. Could you imagine it? L’il Abner in the Naval Observatory with nothing to do and lots of internettes to molest. The goons from their 90’s campaigns, hanging around, emptying the liquor cabinets and waiting for their opportunity to strike and put down a stake for that ‘12 campaign. Obama taking yoga lessons so he can pull knives out of his own back.

What say you, Cynics? Is there a third way for the Unicorn, some way to neutralize the menace posed by the Hilbot 9000?
