You cut a poor example, Hillary
It was with some sadness that today I read Hillary's speech wherein she said that none of the pledged delegates were [i]actually[/i] pledged...they could vote for whomever they wanted. In effect, the will of the voters in those states doesn't matter at all -- the pledged delegates can just do as they so please. Pretty rich irony for someone who for weeks has been demanding that the voters in FL and MI get a voice.
It's a sorry state of affairs that she's stooped to this level in her quest to win the nomination via, it seems, any means necessary. Her track record of changing the agreed-to-rules when it suits her, combined with her vivid and self-serving recollection of events which never took place (Bosnia, most recently) have really turned me off from her. It's a shame, too, as I have heard her speak and liked how she presented her thoughts, and I was (and am) a huge admirer of her husband.
I have been fairly ambivilent about the two of them, but she's doing a good job of putting a bad taste in my mouth.

Yes, that is The Hillary I Know. Trying to win at all cost. Damn the rules, damn the democratic party.

It's frankly shocking that Hillary seems to believe that she can go to the convention, win the nomination through baiting the super and pledged delegates to switch and then some how come back and win the election. Whoever the advisers are that are telling her this is a viable strategy should be fired, but I guess that's what happens when your candidate drops out.
