Hillary's Arrogance

It didn't take long for the Clinton campaign to trash the aura of their popular vote victories Tuesday with huge piles of steaming crap, outrageous charges and utter arrogance.

There's too much of all of these to even recount, but here's the charge put in context not by an Obama partisan but a reporter for Newsday, when Clinton's wolfson likened the Obama campaign's request that Billary make tax returns public (which Obama has done) to an attack by Watergate prosecutor Ken Starr.

That kind of hysteria has become Billary policy. So has this sort of arrogance:

My way or the highway, that's once again what the Clinton campaign is saying to the Democratic Party. Democratic Party chair Howard Dean and the party are trying to find a way to include Florida and Michigan in the process so they can have delegates at the national convention. After the pro-Hillary Florida officials laughed at him last month, this month they're listening. And Michigan is going further than that--it's reported that they are about to announce a statewide caucus.

But contrary to this story which suggests the Obama people aren't interested in these states voting (even though it quotes Obama saying it's up to the party but he supports having these states participate), Hillary herself has royally refused.
In an interview with U.S. News, she says "I would not accept a caucus."

I would not accept? She'll defy a state's decision and that of the chair of her party?

What Billary wants is for the Michigan primary results to count, because her name was the only one on the ballot. She wants the Florida results to count as well, even though the candidates agreed with the party it shouldn't count. This particular option is the very one that Dem chair Howard Dean said is off the table, because you can't change the rules after the game.
