The logic that Hillary Clinton is using to appeal to voters and superdelegates is staggering — in that it makes no sense. On the one hand, Clinton is arguing that the basic tenets of democracy demand that we could the votes in Michigan and Florida — exactly as is, even though Obama wasn’t even on the ballot in Michigan. Her argument is that not counting those votes would disenfranchises those voters.

But in the same breath, Clinton is appealing to 200 remaining undeclared superdelegates to over-turn the results of the 35+ million voters in the primaries and caucuses, because she says that — despite these results — she is the better candidate.

This logic is perverse. One part of her strategy — empowering voters in the primaries — directly contradicts the second part of her strategy — having party insiders overturn the primary results. It’s quite sad, actually.
