Clinton Still Attempting to Lose Election

In another Political Ticker blog, Alexander Mooney writes about how Billary is trying to win votes for Obama. As if he needs any more of her help...

After reading this, I decided that Hillary is trying her hardest... to lose.

"Hillary Clinton's campaign launched a new Web site Wednesday designed to convey its argument about how delegates should be counted — the campaign’s latest offensive against Barack Obama's contention that the candidate with the most pledged delegates should win the party's nomination

The new Web site lists five of the Clinton team’s disputed views on delegates, including the ideas that Florida and Michigan's delegates should be seated at the convention despite party sanctions and that there is a "clear path" for Clinton to finish the race with more delegates than Obama.

The Web site also argues that superdelegates — or what the Clinton campaign is now calling “automatic delegates” — should not look to the primary season vote when deciding which candidate to support, stating, "The fact is: no automatic delegate is required to cast a vote on the basis of anything other than his or her best judgment about who is the most qualified to be president."

According to CNN's latest estimate, Obama has earned 143 more pledged delegates than Clinton. But Clinton currently has the support of 73 more superdelegates – which translates into an overall deficit of 70 delegates.

Speaking with reporters Wednesday morning, Obama campaign manager David Plouffe repeated the campaign's contention that the candidate with the most pledged delegates should win the nomination, and said is nearly impossible for Clinton to catch up in that count.

“This is a wide, wide lead right now,” he said. “I am amused when the Clinton campaign continues to say, 'Well, it’s essentially a tie.' I mean, that’s just lunacy. We have opened up a big and meaningful pledged delegate lead. They are going to have to win landslides from here on out to erase it.”

Plouffe also said the Obama campaign keeps "offering alternative theories for why they can win the nomination that have nothing to do with the votes that are happening in these contests.”"

Okay, so basically Hillary is saying that delegates should be using logic when choosing a candidate to support. If they should start using logic now, what exactly were they using before? Oh, I know. Maybe they were choosing candidates based on looks. Or maybe based on who is the oldest. Who is the most annoying? Well, I know what they weren't basing their choice on- who was married to a president. If that was a case, she would have already won.

Plouffe, you're amused? I think we are all amused by the Clinton campaign, and for various reasons...
