Memo to the Clintons

   Please don't strong-arm the superdelegates or worse yet, try to seat the Michigan and/or Florida delegates, if Barack Obama pulls ahead with primary/caucus-pledged delegates.

   I say this because if they do employ tactics like this Hillary Clinton seriously risks getting ignored in the general election by independents and Republicans that are not enamored of John McCain's warmongering.

   This topic is on my mind as I see the returns from today's primaries and the clear message that Obama's call for change is resonating across the nation. His sweep may make the Clinton camp get more desperate and desperation typically makes one look pathetic. Not exactly an attribute we'd like to associate with presidential aspirations, me thinks.
