The fratricide strategy

Ezra Klein aptly articulates what many in the pundit class now believe: Clinton's only viable strategy at this point is to make Obama unelectable. Quote:

Clinton has no road to the nomination save for the literal destruction of Obama's candidacy. There's no affirmative argument for her campaign that's strong enough to overwhelm his lead in pledged delegates. Rather, she's basically got to cripple him so badly that he can't make it over the finish line. Mark Penn not only has to say that Obama is unelectable, he has to believe he can make it true. And what a shame. What a shame to see Hillary Clinton reduced to this, left insulting the intelligence of the voters and entirely reliant on the politics of personal destruction for her success.

It is as if the shame of it must outlive her.*
