Clinton Slams Democratic Activists

In this quote:
"At a small closed-door fundraiser after Super Tuesday, Sen. Hillary Clinton blamed what she called the 'activist base' of the Democratic Party -- and MoveOn.org in particular -- for many of her electoral defeats, saying activists had 'flooded' state caucuses and 'intimidated' her supporters, according to an audio recording of the event obtained by The Huffington Post."
Hillary seems to be complaining about something.

In my experience in my local caucus it was the Clinton observers who were all over the process. Admittedly they didn't do anything overtly intimidating but they made it very clear that the process was being carefully watched. I didn't have a problem with that because I know it is important in an aggressive campaign to exercise due diligence. That comes with the territory.

But the above quote looks like pot-and-kettle to me. It was the Clinton campaign that flexed its organizational muscles at our caucus much more than the Obama people.

Please, oh please, stop projecting like Republicans.
