Scorched earth politics
By Creature
The Politico today has another story, from another Clinton insider, that warns us that Hillary's camp has no problem poaching pledged delegates if need be. While there is nothing in the rules against doing this, it does play into Hillary's meme that she will do anything to win. I have to assume they are leaking in hopes of keeping their supporters on board, but beyond that I can't see how these stories do anything but hurt. Democrats yearn for fairness and this is anything but.
Joe Gandelman has more.
Update: The Clinton camp denies The Politico story above. Good news, but how about answering this one about Michigan and Florida too. Enough with the shenanigans and more with the light, please.
