a certain intellectual independence in your support of the Senator.

This isn't about attacking Sen. Obama. It is about laying the ground work for 2012. If she wanted to attack Obama when the tipping point in delegate lead had passed - and with Senator Obama actually increasing his delegate lead on this Sen. Clinton's best week on the primary calendar it would be odd.

She is trying to lay the foundation for her candidacy by controlling the narrative of why Obama loses (if he does) and to give Sen McCain enough gravitas and enough partisan damage to Obama that he loses the GE.

This has nothing to do with winning the nomination. That is over.

In the meantime Clinton is amassing a huge warchest (which she used very sparingly in Ohio and Texas) and is likely to end the campaign with $20 million or more in her primary fund and $ 29 million in her GE fund. Now what might she be able to do with that.

Sen. Obama leads in

Delegates
Votes
Gov/Senator endorsements
Primaries/caucuses
money
donors..

She cannot make up 100 delegate lead with district proportionality. She made up none this week.

So this unambiguous double standard is being stretched out for only one reason 2012. Raise more money, inflict the kind of damage that is helpful to Sen. McCain.

Shame on you Senator Clinton.

And shame on all of those who apologize for it.

Just fucking shame on you.
