I prefer victory to your 'bloody fight.'

That bloody fight is what's most likely to give us victory, as indirectly shown by this quote from the article: Democratic consultant and Obama operative Glenn Smith warned that any effort to reverse Mr. Obama's growing delegate lead would look like a stolen election – regardless of how Clinton supporters spin it.

"You can make rules arguments, fairness arguments, an 'I'm tougher' argument. But you can't get over the practical consequences of what it would mean in November to take this nomination from the first African-American in history to have earned it," he said.

By defeating in the general that which could have been defeated in the primary.

What a plan! It's beautiful in its complexity and nuance and it depends on so many colorful aspects: action and its predicted reaction, racism, super-delegates, political intrigue, etc.---and like a soap opera.

Why do it the easy way when you can make it hard but delightfully entertaining?

More popcorn?
