Rachel you are way too smart to posit such a naive question. The Clinton's OWN the DLC. You don't think the Clinton machine can hold off this deluge while she tries as many tricks as she can to reshape the Media and public perception of her into a possible winner? Look at the committee that will be meeting May 31st. Headed by none other than Clinton super-loyalist, (as well as the one who set up the delegate system that Hillary is fighting)....Harold Ickes.

I agree with you that Clinton is not done yet and not done trying to damage Obama. She made public again today her claim that he has prevented the votes in Michigan and Florida from being counted. Her letter to Obama claims it isn't good enough to seat them at convention with a compromise...So what then? She just gets them ALL?. ( I read Obama's legal Pdf.to Michigan. They laid out conditions that made certain he wouldn't be counted out; and were willing to work it out.) Those conditions were not met and it was the legislature in Michigan who decided on no re-vote.

Her last chance is to create a PERCEPTION that there are viable metrics which give HER the votes from Florida and Michigan AND that the popular vote is the ONLY one that really counts now. Which by the way, DISENFRANCHISES ALL OF US VOTERS WHO ARE IN CAUCUS STATES--apparently THAT vote loss doesn't bother her as she goes about pleading for every "precious vote".

I have tried up til now to stay away from coming down on Clinton. But I am just getting sick of her hypocritical concern about counting every vote. Early on in campaign when she assumed she would be nominee, she claimed Michigan "didn't matter". And NOW their every vote matters sooo much. Also her campaign is claiming she never agreed to take her name off ballot in Michigan even though there IS a statement signed by her that says just that. Howard Dean verified this in an interview.

I defended the Clintons mightily all through the '90's. I feel betrayed by how they are conducting this do-whatever-it-takes campaign.
