I think it's impressively cynical for Clinton surrogate Even Bayh, who once said we should abolish the electoral college, to now suggest we ignore the delegate process by which the Democrats choose their nominee and randomly apply an electoral college test instead. And I think it's also impressively cynical that Hillary Clinton, who co-sponsored legislation abolishing of the electoral college, has instructed her campaign to react favorably to the idea. As a slightly broader point, I don't think any of the attack ads Clinton has levied throughout the campaign were particularly despicable. Negative campaigning is what it is. It's been the procedural shenanigans -- the cynical effort to reinstate Michigan and Florida after the campaign supported the DNC's decision to strip them of delegates, the attempts to say caucus states don't count and pledged delegates should be turned -- that have sharply degraded my opinion of the campaign.
