Super Michigan

In an insightful (and I would argue, dead-on) article on Huffington, former New York mayoral candidate Mark Green makes the case that Hillary should not fight to have Florida and Michigan's delegates seated, just as Obama should not mess with the Superdelegates' role.

As Green writes, "Trying to alter the rules after the voting has begun... is a formula for defeat. Any changes now will not only infuriate the losing candidate's supporters but also could delegitimize the nomination this Fall. You don't change a law if you don't like the results -- you don't move the goal posts during the game to advantage your favorite team... So is it an unfair advantage that Clinton had a long head start with party officials who are superdelegates because of her husband's administration? Or that Obama's very newness makes him a less inviting target of the Far (F)right accustomed to swift-boating Democrats? Sorry, the answer to both is not yes or no but -- it now doesn't matter. Each candidate will now play the hand they're dealt, according to the Rules of the House."

Or, as Tom Hanks famously said, "There's no crying in baseball! There's no crying in baseball!" But I guess some candidates are unfamiliar with a little movie I like to call A League of Their Own.
