What's the sound of one foot stamping?

Seems Hillary wants to change the rules so she can win.
Back when I was little it was "no tags back" or "neener neener neener" or "last taps" or some similar childish phrase, but all of it meant that, no, sorry, you're already in the game and those are the rules, so tough.

Rico says he wonders why anyone would want a petulant bitch as President...

"Back in January, when Michigan and Florida held their primaries, it seemed the party's decision to strip the states of their delegates would serve as a symbolic punishment with little actual influence on the race. At that time, both Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama, D- Ill., agreed to play by the party's rules and Obama went so far as to remove his name from the ballot in Michigan. The race has markedly changed since then and Clinton wants the party's 30-member Rules and Bylaws Committee to overturn its decision when it meets on May 30. She says the party should count all of Michigan and Florida's delegates -- 368 in all... "Some say that counting Florida and Michigan would be changing the rules," she told supporters in Boca Raton, Fla., on Wednesday. "I say that not counting Michigan and Florida is changing a central governing rule of this country." Critics contend that Clinton's push to get the committee to overturn its decision is an attempt to change the rules mid-game and a last ditch effort to save her campaign in the face of mounting support for Obama."

ABC News has crunched the numbers and even with Michigan and Florida included Obama has a significant lead in delegates. "It is as if Barack Obama is on the 99-yard line and in the final moments of the game Clinton wants the football field extended from 100 to 120 yards."
