Some opened fire because they feel they got nothing to lose (Obama, Edwards, Dodd). Others cosied up to Hitlery, more notably Richardson (who defended her) and Biden (who refused to take a shot). Methinks the latter group think they will get the VP chair if only they play nice with the beast. Hehehehe. With the likes of Hitlery, there are no deals. Just look at what happened to Peter Paul, a guy that gave the Clintons over 2M and organized a major fundraiser for them.
