Now Clinton's Supporters Threaten to take their ball away unless they get what they want.

Hillary's supporters have written to Nancy Pelosi and are furious that she has said that super delegates should support the winner of the pledged delegate count and are demanding that she say that they should make an "independent" choice.

Several states and millions of Democratic voters have not yet had a chance to cast their votes.

We respect those voters and believe that they, like the voters in the states that have already participated, have a right to be heard. None of us should make declarative statements that diminish the importance of their voices and their votes. We are writing to say we believe your remarks on ABC News This Week on March 16th did just that.

During your appearance, you suggested super-delegates have an obligation to support the candidate who leads in the pledged delegate count as of June 3rd , whether that lead be by 500 delegates or 2. This is an untenable position that runs counter to the party’s intent in establishing super-delegates in 1984 as well as your own comments recorded in The Hill ten days earlier..

And then there is the inevitable reminder that they donate cash to the party with, one can only presume, the implied threat that this situation could change:

We have been strong supporters of the DCCC. We therefore urge you to clarify your position on super-delegates and reflect in your comments a more open view to the optional independent actions of each of the delegates at the National Convention in August. We appreciate your activities in support of the Democratic Party and your leadership role in the Party and hope you will be responsive to some of your major enthusiastic supporters.

In other words, do what we say or the money might stop flowing towards the party. Hillary's gang are plumbing ever depressing depths to attempt to overturn the democratic wishes of the electorate and are now threatening to withhold funding from the party unless Pelosi retracts her statement that super delegates should back the electorate's choice.

These are the same people who, no doubt, understood the outrage felt by many when the Supreme Court handed George Bush the presidency in 2000 thanks to the the Florida recount. It is, to me, inconceivable that they do not see that many of us would regard a Hillary victory as just as illegitimate should that victory be handed to her by super delegates overturning the electorate's wishes because they feel she might be a better placed candidate to win. (Despite the fact that few believe that to be the case anyway.)

Once again, it simply seems like there is nothing that the Hillary camp won't sink to. Now they're resorting to open threats of financial punishment if they are not allowed to overturn the wish of the majority of the electorate. Unbelievable. In the "Democratic" Party...

UPDATE:

Now she threatens to take this all the way to the convention.



How many more threats is this woman going to make to the Democratic Party? She really would bring the whole house down unless she gets what she wants.

UPDATE II:

Perhaps it's this "win at any cost" mentality which accounts for this:

As expected, one of the two major Democratic candidates saw a downturn in the latest NBC/WSJ poll, but it's not the candidate that you think. Hillary Clinton is sporting the lowest personal ratings of the campaign. Moreover, her 37 percent positive rating is the lowest the NBC/WSJ poll has recorded since March 2001, two months after she was elected to the U.S. Senate from New York.

As for the damage this controversy did or didn't do to Obama, it's a mixed bag. Yes, Obama saw some of his numbers go down slightly among certain voting groups, most notably Republicans. But he's still much more competitive with independent voters when matched up against John McCain than Hillary Clinton is. And he still sports a net-positive personal rating of 49-32, which is down only slightly from two weeks ago, when it was 51-28. Again, the biggest shift in those negative numbers were among Republicans.

The dirtier Clinton fights, the more she loses support, which is why her present strategy is simply lunacy. She's literally sinking in the polls like a bloody stone.
