After Hillary Clinton's hugely successful speech last night, it's hard to imagine that any earnest Hillary supporter would still be trumpeting her "rightful" place as the official Democratic nominee. She said exactly what Obama supporters, and many Democrats in general, have been wanting her to say for months: Don't support me, support our party; and for God's sake, don't let John McCain become president.

And yet, this morning, I came upon this group of women apparently keeping hope alive. But when a man next to me started shouting, "Go McCain!!! YEAH!!!" the alleged Clintonites started cheering, shaking maracas, and generally betraying themselves as McCain supporters in disguise.

In politics, especially circus politics like this, things aren't always what they seem.
