Hillary's latest: "Obama wants to prevent you from voting!"
It seems Hillary hasn't learned that people have memories (and those who don't have YouTube): she continues to press her "Obama wants to prevent you from voting" line of attack...this time in North Carolina. Ignore, of course, the real issue: the people calling on her to show tact and grace and bow out are doing so in light of the fact that any reasonable couning of delegates shows she simply can't win the nomination. It has zilch to do with preventing people's voting.
The breathtaking thing here, as I mentioned in my last post, is that she positions herself as a champion of voter's rights -- and yet seeks to remove, ex-post-facto, the already cast votes of those who voted in earlier primaries. That's the basic message of her "you know, the pledged delegates can vote for whomever they want" argument.
Or maybe I'm getting this all wrong??

OK, this is just a lie. WTF?
She should drop out.

This is stupid. I'm sorry but neither of them has the delegates to win from the contests so far, and neither will have the delegates to win when the next 10 primaries are done.
The voters have not been and will not be able to make a decision, and all of the hyperbole to the contrary does not alter the facts. It is the party and not the people who will decide the outcome and pick our candidate for us.
