And many of her supporters are vowing to fight on despite the odds. Some have circulated a 17-page critique of the party's primary rules prepared by Clinton supporter Stephen Herbits.

It's titled: "The 2008 DNC Presidential Nomination Process: A Crisis Of Legitimacy."

12. Fuck Hillary and her crew of Toadies!
She can be Secretary of Health or she can be nothing.
It's up to her.

5. Funny, though, the Clintons controlled the party when these rules were put in place
In fact, the rules were put in place to make it more likely Hillary would win it all early.

Funny how that works.

6. I wish these same people had issued a 17-page critique entitled
"The 2000 General Presidential Nomination Process: A Crisis of Legitimacy."

I think I'd take them more seriously if they had.

7. Correct. MI was completely illegitimate (and the RBC said so), yet they're using that to claim
she leads the nonexistent "popular vote" (while they discount caucus states entirely).

They need to grow the hell up and stop acting like 3 year olds.
