>>Superdelegates can still change their minds, Hillary says. Time for reflection is needed, Hillary says. I'm ahead in the popular vote, Hillary continues to lie says. Is someone going to have to drive a stake through her heart before she concedes she has lost?

>Not that I like her either, but she has a valid point. She also has a valid point re: FL and MI delegates. Votes should not be changed by committee as the DNC did on Saturday. She bothered to run, and she got the votes.

Those two primaries were invalidated before they were held and Hillary agreed to that along with everyone else. If the committee had chosen to adhere to that, neither candidate would be receiving any delegates from the two states. The DNC's decision was a compromise. Hillary stirred up Florida and Michigan voters so much after the fact that they genuinely believe themselves disenfranchised. This is being presented as thought the primaries were held in the normal manner and then the votes were taken away. They weren't.

I don't know if you caught it but Harold Ickes, Hillary's chief kneecapper (and DNC member!), said Michigan votes should be counted exactly as cast. IOW Hillary gets every vote cast for her and Obama, who took his name off the ballot, gets zero. About 40% of the ballots were marked "Uncommitted." The Clinton camp says none of those votes were for Obama, since none of them say Obama. "He made the decision to take himself off the ballot," Hillary now says airily. Truly unbelievable. Well, no, not unbelievable given the Clintons' loose history with the truth, but still appalling.
