A good article from a week ago that points out that Hillary has virtually no chance of winning. I think the Clinton campaign realizes this and are trying everything they can to get her the nomination. I find it interesting that Hillary is arguing that pledged delegates aren't so iron-clad and important anymore when she was pushing so hard to get Florida and Michigan's pledged delegates into her column. Interesting may not be the right word. Hypocritical, I think is better or macchavelian.

Add on top of that the fact that she's actively trying to get both pledged and superdelegates to vote for her even if it means overturning the will of the voters, yet at the same time, when someone like Leahy suggests that he thinks she should consider bowing out for the sake of the party, her campaign's argument is that this would be unfair to the people who haven't voted yet. So do they want to honor and respect the will of the voters, or do they want to overturn the will of the voters? She can't have it both ways....
