and the Clintons know it, but have put their own personal agenda over the good of the party and the nation.
Sad, really.

deal on March 4th. Voters like Hillary Clinton. She has real strength in battleground states, big states, and among swing voters. She has every right to run and she should continue to stay in the race until the end. If Obama can't close the deal, that's not her fault. Maybe he isn't good enough to win in the general election.

Nobody says she doesn't have any right to run.
What is being questioned is the wisdom of she continuing to do so.
She cannot acquire the winning number of delegates, at least by any fair means which the party is likely to follow. As for 'closing the deal', it's Hillary's team that's doing all they can to undo it, to change the rules, change the terms, and even to defy personally signed pledges made with Barack Obama to not campaign in Florida or Michigan. Obama having trouble closing the deal has everything to do with the Clintons and little to do with his achievements in winning convention delegates to date, following the rules and honoring the pledges the party asked them to all make.
As soon as it was clear Obama's campaign was going to blow Hillary's out of the water, she decided that Michigan and Florida's delegates should all be hers, instead of not counting towards determining the nominee, and her pledge was 'a mistake'. If honoring the rules and signed pledges, and following party directives is a mistake, one can easily conclude that it would be a mistake to let such a person near high office.
