Assuming what people would do and using that as a plank to criticize them is not exactly fair. If Obama had only the thinnest, screwiest mathematical chance to win and the supers had moved overwhelmingly to Hillary recently, I would want to see him protect his political future by making peace with Clinton and the party and helping everyone win in November. If Hillary had crushed Obama in Indiana, run even in North Carolina and Oregon and stopped Obama in his tracks, I would have said he deserved to lose, if he came up short in delegates in the end. You can assume otherwise but you would be wrong in my case.

All I will say in response is that times change and rules change with the times. I partially agree with you on this. Riles change to meet the demands of the time. I would characterize her actions as an attempt to change the "demand of the time". And to back it up, she is making a case by saying that she won the states with more electoral college votes that Obama has. What she is refusing to admit that her case assumes that states like CA, NY, MA would not vote Democratic if she is "not" the nominee. OTOH, Obama has a groundswell of support from first time voters, genuine cross-over voters and Independents in red states who will continue to stick to him and vote for him in the GE. since these are red states, it is not that certain that these folks would come out for Hillary. So I am for one who would like for Hillary to stop rocking the boat and turn her attention to figuring out how to retire her campaign debt instead instead of running it up further.
