Hillary is now trying to strong-arm Nancy Pelosi on her superdelegate position.

This gives more credence to the growing chorus of voices who are joining the Republicans in calling the Clintons thugs and power-mongers.

To clarify my position on this issue: Hillary should not be forced to drop out of the race until somebody has enough delegates to win the nomination outright. You can’t expect her to drop out when the contest isn’t over yet. However, her increasingly nasty tactics while trying to secure the nod are really not good for her or the party.

Personally, I’m either writing in Ralph Nader or Ron Paul, so I don’t care. But if the popular vote decides that Obama is the better choice, then Hillary needs to just accept it without a wimper. Overturning the will of the people with superdelegates would be a disaster for democracy and might give the Republicans a guaranteed seat in the White House for another 30 years.
