Going Psycho

It must be desperation time in Hillaryland. How else to explain the decision by 21 Democratic Party fundraisers, all supporters of the New York senator, to send a threatening letter to, of all people, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi? The donors, you see, are upset about something Pelosi said. It was a little something about the candidate who is ahead in pledged delegates being the party's nominee.

Gee, how radical! The winner should win. What Speaker Pelosi said was that the superdelegates shouldn't overturn the the will of the voters. In both tone and tenor, the donors' letter to her speaks volumes about whether they think their candidate can overtake Barack Obama in either pledged delegates or the popular vote.

The broad hint in the letter was this. We, the donors, support Democratic candidates not just for president but for Congress was well. Keep talking like this and that money will stop. This is like the owner of a sports arena threatening to close it during a game because his or her team is losing.

Barack Obama has called the letter "inappropriate". It's worse than that. It shows these donors as a group are no better than the Republicans they are trying to defeat.

Besides, it doesn't pay to go psycho on Nancy Pelosi.
