Will Hilary go "illegitimate" ?

Hilary Clinton could, conceivably, increase her chances of winning the Democratic nomination by obtaining the "re-seating" of delegates from Florida and Michigan. Those delegates are currently not intended to be counted, because the state party organisations there broke the rules and brought forward their primaries. Such a "re-seating" would be a very "dirty" ending to the Democratic nomination battle, which would have to take place at the August convention in Denver.

The excellent Michael Tomasky explains all this in the Guardian, together with the fairly slim, but far from impossible, "legitimate" route by which Hilary could still win the nomination.

With the Clintons it ain't over until Bill goes to buy a hamburger.
