Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign failed to file a full slate of convention delegate candidates for Pennsylvania's April 22 primary.

This despite the possibility the primary proves critical and despite Clinton owning the full-throated support of Gov. Rendell, state Democratic Party leadership, Mayor Nutter and, presumably, the organizational skill all that entails.

And despite a Rendell-ordered extension of the filing deadline that could be viewed as more than just coincidental.

"There are a number of Clinton delegates that did not file for reasons of illness or other issues," Democratic state chairman T.J. Rooney conceded yesterday after being questioned by the Daily News.

He initially said he was unaware of the fact, but confirmed it after checking with Clinton's state delegate petition organizer.

Wait. Did anyone check Patti solis Doyle's forehead before she left the campaign? Maybe this was her job.

But Clinton's faux pas is more of an image problem than a practical one.

Under Democratic Party rules (and does any organization on the planet have more rules or more complex rules?) a presidential candidate winning in a congressional district gets delegates from that district (assigned at a later date) whether he or she files slates delegates or not.

...which was my main point.

Irrelevant, Obama will have dropped out long before PA.

When Clinton wins a broad victory in Wisconsin today his money will falter, and they'll unleash the oppres they've been holding back just in time to trounce him on May 4th. The problem with running against Alan Keys is that he's never had to face an actual campaign, before. Maybe he can call up Deval and see if he's free for a golf trip in April. He won't be doing anything by then.

Which I was agreeing with.

Thanks for keepin' the dream alive, Smash.

The last guy counting on his dream to win died of a sucking head wound in Memphis if I recall.
