Clinton Campaign "Whimpers To A Conclusion"

David Corn has a couple articles about Clinton's pandering to Florida and Michigan in the final days of her campaign, pretending to champion voters' rights. The reality, says Corn is far from that:

... those states violated Democratic Party rules--rules that at one time Clinton supported. Now she's saying that Dems in those naughty states ought to decide what happens to their delegations. That's just wrong. And it's also wrong for her to vow--as she did--a convention fight over these delegations, if the party does not work something out before then.

It's almost as if Clinton is grasping for a cause to justify her ongoing campaigning.

You think...?

As we've noted elsewhere Clinton's bogus claim to have received more votes than Obama only holds up if Florida and Michigan are counted, and the caucus states are excluded. (Obama was not on the ballot in Michigan, of course, so received no votes.)

Corn describes the Clinton campaign bluster before the Democratic National Committee rules committee today as "part of the step-by-step drawdown of her campaign."

First, she had her good showings in West Virginia and Kentucky. Then she was a faux defender of democracy at the rules meeting. Next she will be Queen of Puerto Rico. Finally--finally?--she will cross the finish line with the South Dakota and Montana primaries on Tuesday. But then the race will be done. She may need a few days to confirm that her argument to the superdelegates--choose me because I have the better chance of beating John McCain--is not carrying the day. And she will have to end--or suspend--her campaign.
