Though Hillary Clinton’s chances of winning the nomination are “near to nothing” even after easily winning Sunday’s Puerto Rico primary, the outcome would have been “wider open” if she got one extra vote on the Democratic Rules And Bylaws to stop the halving of Michigan’s delegates, Jerome Armstrong writes. The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is right to start a $10 million campaign aimed at holding members of Congress accountable over their promises to work for universal health care and other union priorities, according to Jonathan Singer. SEIU plans to officially launch its campaign in 2009. But the union has already held one Democratic congressman, former Rep. Al Wynn (Md.), accountable by spending $1 million to support his union-friendly primary opponent, Donna Edwards (D), who beat Wynn in February, Singer notes.
