Voters may put Hillary Clinton in position to halt Barack Obama
Even as Democrats fret over the damage that the battle for the partys presidential nomination has already done to their chances of regaining the White House, Hillary Clintons campaign is talking of a nuclear option.If she wins in Indiana and does well enough in North Carolina in todays crucial primaries, her campaign believes it may yet be able to overturn party rules that currently ban delegates awarded in her vexed victories in Florida and Michigan. The theory is that it would help her to overtake Barack Obama in the popular vote, cut his lead among elected delegates to less than 100, and give wavering super-delegates an excuse to choose her as the presidential candidate in defiance of the results from Democratic primaries and caucuses. . . .
