Exactly. So it's interesting that Hillary's campaign protested so vehemently when an attempt was made to make the caucuses more accessible to a large group of workers in Vegas, who otherwise could probably have not participated.

And if I recall correctly, her campaign had in fact agreed to the arrangement months before, but faced with a possible loss, decided it wasn't such a good idea after all.

Basically the flip side of her charming maneuver in FL and MI, where after having agreed months before that those votes would not count, now that she has "won" in both states, she wants them counted. Not that her "winning" in MI has anything to do with the fact that she was the only one of the major candidates who did not withdraw his or her name. Of course not.

If anything can alienate the superdelegates--to the extent they have some choice-- that sort of attitude stands a good chance.
