Hillary and the Late Voting States
Correct me if I am wrong here, but wasn't Hillary's main campaign plan that she was going to appear inevitable, have more money and superdelegates early on, win Iowa, win the frontloaded states, and have the whole thing over by Super Tuesday?
And now she is shedding crocodile tears over the late voting states, oh, please let them vote.
Oh course, meanwhile Ickes is saying that the popular vote may be nice, but it is not critical to Hillary's success.
Enough. Stop. Already. Please.

First it was about pledged delegates, then it was about superdelegates, then it was about winning states, then it was about winning BIG states, then it was about winning the popular vote, then it was about winning the electoral college, now it seems to be back to all about the superdelegates...
Her and her campaign surrogates make me dizzy.

I wonder how much those rolling goalposts cost. I'll bet their not cheap. Can her campaign continue to afford them?

What it's really all about is a do-over for the Clintons. They simply can't believe that they can't get her/him back into the White House! They feel entitled, and will do anything/say anything/and take anyone's endorsement (even if they once accused them of murder) if it will get them in!

What a bunch of self entitled whiny whiners you Obama supporters are. You mean we actually have to wait for everyone to vote? Oh Boo Hoo.
Oh you mean after our candidate has done his best to disenfranchise Florida and Michigan we have to let other states vote as well. Waaaaaah waaah.

ALL candidates agreed MI and FL wouldn't count last year. It was only after Hillary fell irrevocably behind that she decided they should count. She refused to remove her name from the MI ballot. While getting creamed in SC she flew to FL and at a fundraiser started clamoring for the "rights" of Floridians. It's that kind of "all's fair in politics" ugliness that has earned her "also ran" status and a whole lot of enmity among Democrats. It does her more harm than good in the long run and it's not going to save her in the short run.
