Eric Kleefield has a post up on Election Central that has brought up questions about why Clinton would be pursuing so vigorously a revote when its not completely sure she would win it, or win it by a wide margin.  Marc Ambinder reported on something the other day, though, that really works in her favor and could end up disenfranchising a whole lot of Democrat voters on a technicality:

Turns out that DNC rules do prohibit cross-over participation. The state party has to comply with rule 2.E, which states:  "No person shall participate or vote in the nominating process for a Democratic presidential candidate who also participates in the nominating process of any other party for the corresponding elections."

This is clearly in the spirit of preventing cross-over participation for primaries that occur on the same day, or close to each other (where such a rule would make perfect sense).  Such a rule would also cover a re-vote, though, and in that situation, it creates a problem, and an advantage for Hillary.  That means that all of those voters who saw their candidate wasn't on the ballot and knew the primary wasn't going to count, and then decided to use their vote as a spoiler by voting for Romney in the GOP primary, would not be allowed to vote if their candidate was now on the ballot in a re-vote.  Additionally, it is more likely that Hillary supporters did not do this as she was, you remember, still on the ballot.

Makes perfect electoral sense to me why she would want the re-vote and why he would want to stand against it.  But it also makes her recent framing of opposition to the re-vote as opposition to civil rights more than a little laughable.
