The ONLY way it would happen is if he gets royally cornholed at the convention. Otherwise, he'll just wait his turn.

There is a high probability of him getting royally cornholed. I don't see that he has the sort of spite in him to go for it. I think he would still suck it up, toe the party line and wait his turn.
If he is so unsure of himself that he has to rip off speeches from others, he doesn't have the confidence to go for pissing off a party he is well liked and supported by, even if they ram one up his ass "nothing personal barrack just politics" style.
I wonder exactly why Bloomberg would risk a billion dollars for a chance to become VP.

I still predict that the Elites/DNC fuck him (superdelegates ,Fla, Michigan) and he stands down and takes the V.P. (being the wimp that he is.)

That's interesting to read, but I don't think it will get to that point. Its great to know that there might be a back-up plan for him though.
The idea that the superdelegates are just going to bow to Hillary because she's the traditional bitch with more "party weight" doesn't make too much sense. If Obama continues winning all of these states like this, the superdelegates will lean in favor of Obama, because they are also concerned about not fucking with the will of the people. There is, of course, a national election, and I think its pretty clear that Obama is more electable than Hillary compared to McCain, especially if he draws in more and more votes than she does. The fact also remains that Obama does enjoy support from these superdelegates. People like Tom Daschle are campaigning for him to other superdelegates. He has the support of governors, Senators, etc. etc. etc.
She does too, obviously, but the only way she will win is if she starts winning states again. I think if Wisconsin goes Obama's way tonight, her chances of winning in Texas and Ohio just don't look so promising, because he continues to steal her votes. I think its entirely probable for this to happen (using two sentences from a friend isn't going to stop him ), and I think its also possible that you will see the senior superdelegates come forward after that and make it clear that they want it to end right then by pledging support for Obama.
They aren't going to allow it to get to that point. The Democrats have a lot of momentum and strength right now and they risk losing if they let their party split between two strong candiates and go to a brokered convention. They are going to go with the stronger candidate who is more capable of winning.
