The Clintons try to Cheat on Delegates (Again).

It's getting hard to keep up with the Clinton outrages these days. (I'll leave Bill Clinton deciding to praise Obama as 'articulate' alone for now, as -- perhaps -- that was just a poor choice of words.) As telegraphed by their moves after Michigan, the Clinton campaign is now explicitly trying to change the rules and get the Michigan and Florida delegates seated (a move which has brought Bill Nelson into the Clinton camp.) Says TPM's Josh Marshall: "[Y]ou don't change the rules in midstream to favor one candidate or another. This is no more than a replay, with different factual particulars, of the attempt to outlaw the at-large caucuses in Nevada after the Culinary Union endorsement made it appear they would help Barack Obama." Adds the Prospect's Ezra Klein: "This is the sort of decision that has the potential to tear the party apart."
