We’ve had a sub-prime meltdown in the market that’s led to a financial markets meltdown, but the Feds are giving away money to prevent a Wall Street meltdown. So, here’s the question of the day. Is there anything that can be done to prevent a complete Clinton meltdown. Or is it too late for a modern day resurrection?

On the West coast it was Bill Clinton doing his red-faced, finger-pointing, and neck vein exploding act! Bubba was on the West coast trying to woo some super delegates. But guess what happened?

According to those at the meeting, Clinton, who flew in from Chicago with bags under his eyes, was classic old Bill at first, charming and making small talk with the 15 or so delegates who gathered in a room behind the convention stage. But as the group moved together for the perfunctory photo, Rachel Binah, a former Bill Richardson delegate who now supports Hillary Clinton, told Bill how “sorry” she was to have heard former Clinton campaign manager James Carville call Richardson a “Judas” for backing Obama.

It was as if someone pulled the pin from a grenade! That’s Bubba again.

“Five times to my face (Richardson) said that he would never do that,” a red-faced, finger-pointing Clinton erupted. The former president then went on a tirade that ran from the media’s unfair treatment of Hillary to questions about the fairness of the votes in state caucuses that voted for Obama. It ended with him asking delegates to imagine what the reaction would be if Obama was trailing by just 1 percent and people were telling him to drop out.

“It was very, very intense,” said one attendee. “Not at all like the Bill of earlier campaigns.” Bill just isn’t himself these days of is it that the Democrats never saw the real bill, the kill Bill personality that Dick Morris has mentioned that he had experienced: even having been tackled by Bubba!

Back on the East side of the country, it seems as though Hillary was having a poll meltdown in Pennsylvania. On Tuesday it was reported that her one-time 26 point lead which had dropped to 15 points a month ago was now just 5 points according to a Rasmussen poll.

But on Wednesday the latest Public Policy Polling survey had Obama up 45-43%! That’s a major meltdown for Hillary and major Obama momentum!

But of course we have almost three more weeks in which anything can happen! While the numbers are nbot out, nor official, it appears that Obama kept his advertising budget lead with what’s rumored to be $30 million to $20 million advantage for March donations. We’ll know officially in a few more days.

Meltdown does seem like a proper description of the overall Clinton campaign.
