Clinton Mania

Josh Marshall at Talking Points Memo, probably the most respected and credible political journalist/blogger, thinks Hillary is going way low now with blatantly false arguments about Michigan and Florida and also contending she's the popular vote winner. So do I.
(And Bill is talking her up for v.p.? WTF?)
...She is embarking on a gambit that is uncertain in its result and simply breathtaking in its cynicism...
And there are actually numerous quotes from the Senator herself saying those primaries didn't and wouldn't count. Michigan and Florida were sanctioned because they ignored the rules the DNC had set down for running this year's nomination process.

The evidence is simply overwhelming that Sen. Clinton didn't think this was a problem at all -- until it became a vehicle to provide a rationale for her continued campaign...

What she's doing is not securing her the nomination. Rather, she's gunning up a lot of her supporters to believe that the nomination was stolen from her -- a belief many won't soon abandon. And that on the basis of rationales and arguments there's every reason to think she doesn't even believe in.
