Clinton Mi Fl

A compromise Democratic Party decision tomorrow on how to allocate the Mich. and Fl. delegates will not be a setback for Clinton. On the contrary, it will give her the fodder she needs to continue her campaign.

Clinton's comparison of the bungled Florida and Michigan primaries to elections in Zimbabwe is ridiculous. But an African asks: Was it just an excuse to use "Mugabe" and "Obama" in the same sentence?"

At this point so-called private commitments on the part of superdelegates mean nothing. Clinton's candidacy can no longer pretend to be about the primaries. Without super commitments, she is not in the race.

The press conference was marked by sad Clintonian parsing. The primary is close, depending on how you define "close." Gas prices are a white issue. African-Americans, as a mass, are Obama's "passionate supporters."

Hillary doesn't think she can win, but that doesn't stop her from playing out the Florida and Michigan con, just on the off chance that it will distract folks long enough for her to pilfer the nomination.
