Shocker: Hillary Clinton's Promises Not Quite Dependable

Imagine! She tells people what she thinks they want to hear and then does whatever is in her own interests to do!

It turns out that Hillary's promise not to "campaign" in Florida -- a promise made to a bunch of gullible saps in New Hampshire and Iowa who were stupid enough to believe her -- wasn't so much a promise as a, what's the word, expedient lie.

Not only is Hillary campaigning in Florida -- just a little, you understand; nothing to get upset about -- but she's pondering restoring Florida's and Michigan's votes (stripped from them due to violating the DNC's order not to try to preempt NH and Iowa) restored in the delegate count.

And who won Michigan, and will almost certainly win Florida?

Why, Hillary! But that's a coincidence, you know. She's just doing this for the voters. For me, for you. For all of us.

Here's something that would really tear the Democratic Party up: those votes, if restored, just may be enough to give Hillary the nomination.

The trouble is that if Obama's actually come that close, I can't imagine the DNC would be stupid enough to change the rules in the middle of the game just to give the nomination to the weaker candidate.
