The Will of the People

The Clinton campaign and its most aggressive surrogates have taken to arguing lately that the "will of the people" favors Clinton and that Obama's lead is largely the product of a bizarre and undemocratic electoral system.

But putting aside for a moment the fact that Obama currently leads Clinton in the popular vote (at least by any reasonable calculation of it), it's probably worth noting that national polling of the Democratic electorate over the last month has shown Obama to have a pretty consistent double-digit lead.

With numbers like that, it's pretty hard to argue that the will of the Democratic electorate is somehow being thwarted here. Just saying.
