We can add this latest jab from Bill Clinton to the list of damaging rhetorical grenades tossed by one Democrat at another:

I must say that this new strategy of denying and disempowering and disenfranchising the voters in Florida and Michigan is, I believe, a terrible mistake. Hillary believes their votes should be counted. And I don’t know how we’re gonna go to those people in the general election and say you gotta vote for us even though we dumped all over you in the primary.

I am sure someone at the RNC or Team McCain is keeping a list  of these nastygrams. They will work on McCain’s behalf in the general election. Even more so than the “not-ready-for-3-a.m.-calls” jibe, this Clinton missive strikes close to home for Democrats, who have made a full-time occupation of insisting that “every vote counts.” In this case the Clintons have a germ of a point. The DNC set a schedule. But now that Michigan and Florida want to comply with DNC rules and re-do their primaries, what’s the rationale for Obama opposing new elections? Well, he wants to win, of course. But isn’t Hillary Clinton supposed to be the one who wants to win at all costs?
