Thank Hillary, Don't Demonize Her

For all the Obamacans out there who are seething that Hillary Clinton has yet to withdraw from the race, think about this. She probably did Obama a favor by staying in this past week.

Given her margin of victory in W. Va., the Senator from Illinois might have lost the state, albeit not as badly as he actually did, even with her out of the race but her name still on the ballot.

Has any presumptive nominee ever lost an uncontested primary? Obama should thank Clinton for preventing us from finding out.

And on another note, why are superdelegates who are now switching their allegiance from Clinton to Obama viewed as a sign of Obama's momentum and nomination inevitability (and not portrayed as the opportunistic turncoats they really are), while suggestions by the Clinton campaign that delegates can switch from Obama to Clinton are treated as tampering
with the electoral process?
