"Another example of the fog of nonsense that has increasingly enveloped the Clinton campaign"

Josh Marshall on Hillary Clinton's assertion to the Philadelphia Daily News that primary delegates are superdelegates who can just vote for anyone -- and the Clinton campaign in general these days:

It's also another example of the fog of nonsense that has increasingly enveloped the Clinton campaign. Spin is one thing. And it's not a bad thing. But to have utility it must be tethered to some relevant facts, some kind of reality. Otherwise it just descends into ridiculousness. There's always some new clever but inane argument to twist 'up' into something at least somewhat resembling 'down'. Or if not that, enough to keep your head spinning long enough not to notice for a while that 2 and 2 still equals 4. It's like getting snowed by a precocious adolescent or maybe Jon Lovitz's Tommy Flanagan.

Usually this malarkey comes out of the mouth of Mark Penn. But it seems to be infectious.

He's right. It' amazing, though, how the traditional media eats up each of the Clinton campaign's new ridiculous arguments.

And wouldn't this latest delegate idea of Clinton's work the other way, too? If Hillary Clinton's primary delegates have figured out (like almost everyone else) that she can't win the nomination without starting a civil war, can't they just switch and vote for Obama? According to Clinton's own standard, they could. Maybe some of them should. It would help wrap this thing up.
