How can Clinton...
How can Clinton and her supporters say that every vote should count and every citizen should have their say in the primary, but then ask the super delegates to ignore Obama's lead in the popular vote and pledged delegates (which are determined by the peoples' votes)?

I honestly don't understand how they can believe both sides of this. It's completely contradictory.

1. Those have been my thoughts, too.
But obviously, Hillary does not follow logic, otherwise she would have withdrawn by now.

I have never seen anything like this before - and she does not realize the damage she is doing to herself.

If she wants to stay in to help her chances in '12, she may actually be shutting them down completely.

4. 'the damage she is doing to herself'
yes, that is what seems bizarre--that she would not see this.

3. Hillary's rules
Only "she" can change them, and only she can pick the stars that "really" count, and only she can come up with the math that works to make "her" the nominee! She just loves the "state of denial" that she is living in!

5. Simple: she's losing. She previously said it would all be over after Super Tuesday and had no issue
with votes not counting after that.
