ELECTION 2008: The Democrats' drama

May 9, 2008 at 8:58am

Should Hillary Clinton quit?

I'm pretty much�fed up with�her at this point. The pandering, the threats against Iran have worn me out. But I agree with the editorial in this morning's New York Times: neither candidate has won yet, so she has every right to stay in the race.

She ought to campaign with dignity and honor, though. And she should stop yammering about counting the votes from Florida and Michigan. Theirs were not legitimate primaries. The candidates did not campaign in either state, and Obama was not even on the ballot in Michigan.

The Democratic parties in Florida and Michigan knew what they were doing when they violated party rules, and they knew what the penalty would be. To legitimize those primaries, said the Times, "would make the Democrats look unable to control their own, just when they want to make a case that they can lead the entire nation."

Clinton's insistence on having those votes counted seems increasingly weird. They won't give her enough pledged delegates to win the nomination, and the more she brings up that issue, the more desperate she looks.�I can't imagine that�her argument will sway any superdelegates.
