These kinds of remarks are typical of campaign minions and lower level functionaries, however, ...they do the "dirty work," of allegation and innuendo, hoping it will sway the simple-minded to their cause. I think in the longer term, HRC will be hurt (in the eyes of the superdelegates) by not making a more forceful denunciation of Ferraro's remarks than she's done to date.
I'm curious to see how the DNC will repair this delegate fight with Michigan/Florida. ...politically, it would seem they'd split the delegates down the middle and save the DNC or the states the $30 million it would cost for the do-over.

You would think Clinton would tell everyone in her camp to just shut up. Especially since she's floating the idea of a Clinton/Obama ticket. Although we know that's not going to happen.
The DNC should not redo the Michigan and Florida votes. Those states knew the rules when they voted. Are the number of delegates from these states counted in the total needed to secure the nomination? If they are factored in the total, those states should be subtracted. Short of redoing the election, there's no way to know who really would've won since the candidates weren't allowed to campaign there.
