Don't kid yourself into thinking that the Clinton campaign will "bow their heads" to the reality you're espousing.  Their belief is that Sen. Clinton is the only person for the job, and so any and all means are justified in their quest to get her into the White House.

One of the threads on which they're pulling is putting forth the idea that some delegates have primacy; specifically, that primary-derived delegates should have a greater weighting than caucus-derived delegates.  This meme has been pushed so successfully in recent days that Keith Olbermann started his Monday night broadcast with:

"Even when those now redefined tertiary-level caucus-won delegates are subtracted from the equaton Senator Obama still has a lead in pledged delegates, be it a very small one.  Sen. Obama getting 12 more delegates in the primary contests than did Sen. Clinton, 1,008 to 1,076."

You could also reference other posts in this thread for similar obfuscation and sub-categorization of the delegates. 

I was sufficiently annoyed with Countdown's assimilation of the Clinton campaign's transparent subversion of the nomination process, that I felt compelled to email the program; the 'gist of my email being...

(Countdown shouldn't) propagate the Clinton campaign's transparently self-serving notion of one class of Democratic delegates having less weight than another, by starting the broadcast referring to the caucus-won delegates as "tertiary-level."

Instead, (Countdown) might want to cover the rib-tickling irony of the Clinton campaign denigrating the democratic merit of caucus-derived delegates, in their argument to override the Obama campaign's pledged delegate majority -- by promoting the votes of the most undemocratic of delegates, the superdelegates.

Does (entity) really want to side with the Clinton campaign is declaring one class of delegates more equal than others?

Increasing talk of the "popular vote" taking primacy over the delegate count is self-serving drivel emanating from a campaign that failed in the execution of an ill-advised, divisive campaign strategy centered on exclusivity, that only a few states really matter.

The candidates are running to be the nominee of the Democratic Party -- NOT the nominee of the Democratic Primaries.  Sen. Clinton's campaign should not be rewarded for the failure of her campaign.
