We're planning on spending that much money

There is an Irish joke that goes something like this.  It's Christmas Time, a Dublin man, sprawled out on the sofa, watching the telly, when his wife comes home with the shopping.  He looks up at her,  and says, "so, wha' do y'want for Christmas?"

The wife, clearly exhausted, drops the shopping bags on the floor and says, "I want ...  a divorce," (thick Dublin accent).

And the man goes, "ah now, I wasn't plannin on spendin' that much muney."

And so it goes that Hillary gets to have her name included in the roll call at the convention.  She gets to speak -- last speech of the night on Tuesday, so the climax of the night if you will -- her husband gets to speak on Wednesday, and then either on Wednesday or Thursday, her delegates get to line up behind her and acknowledge their support. A good thing, everyone is saying.  Cathartic.  Healing.  A way to bring the party together.  

To me it seems like the final deal to end all deals (cut all ties?) between the Clintons and the Obamas.  

We're planning on spending that much money.
