Post-Texas and Ohio diatribe

Sure, Hillary Clinton has every right to pursue the Democratic nomination, and she does have a legitimate argument for her nomination: she came out on top in all the big states and swing states necessary to win the general election. Even still, in terms of the delegate count, she'll have to win all of the remaining 12 primary contests by 20 point margins just to catch up to Obama in pledged delegates. There seems to be only two likely possibilities for her winning, either a) she gets the DNC to count or redo the Florida and Michigan primaries, or b) through some back-room deal with the superdelegates. Both scenarios would tear the Democratic Party apart. Unless she pulls off a giant win in Pennsylvania, there is absolutely no justification for her continued pursuit of the nomination and continued slander of the Democratic front runner, Barack Obama, unless of course, her goal is to hand the Republicans the election in November.
