The "credentials committee" strategy may be bunkum

Greg Sargent takes apart the rules on the Democratic convention's Credentials Committee. Short version: The committee roughly parallels pledged delegates, and, assuming a petition for Florida and Michigan got out of committee, it would have to pass a vote on the convention floor (where she'll have less delegates, too.) It's easier to read it there.

Four points: 1) I still think all of this Clinton "going to the convention" bluster is not about the convention, but about surviving today and giving her supporters hope today.

2) If Clinton stepped out of the race, Florida and Michigan would unquestionably be seated in some form at the convention.

3) All these charges of Obama "disenfranchising" voters in Fla, Mich, and elsewhere is unnecessarily poisoning those states against him.

4) If you think I'm pounding Hillary Clinton lately, I am. I'm sorry. She can't win.

Later: Politico concurs that the convention strategy is garbage.
