Clinton camp in tactical disarray as Obama takes the lead in superdelegates

Something’s wrong with this picture: Yesterday, even as Hillary fundraising stalwart Harvey Weinstein was reportedly pulling out all the stops to get Nancy Pelosi’s backing for a five-minutes-to-midnight revoting plan for Florida and Michigan, Clinton campaign chair Terry McAuliffe appeared on the Today Show to suggest it would all end soon:

“It’ll be over early June… We’ve all said we’ll be together at the end. If Hillary doesn’t win, Hillary, (former) President (Bill) Clinton, myself, we’ll be over there helping Senator Obama. And, likewise, Senator Obama will come together to help Hillary if she’s the nominee.”

Never mind the rhetorical nod to HRC’s chances of being the nominee; an early June end date will certainly not find Hillary in the lead. So McAuliffe, it appears, is offering an embargoed peek at the white flag of surrender while Weinstein is wielding the threat of big-donor revolt as a cudgel. It looks like the playbook needs updating.
