Tony Campbell of Republicans for Obama — you may recall my interview with him a couple weeks ago — today offers, “in the spirit of cooperation,” three possible strategies the Clinton campaign might “use to try to sway the nomination in their favor.” My favorite is the third, “The Unfairness of Leap Year Strategy”:
Clinton can claim that Leap Year was not supposed to happen this year after all. The extra day in February gave Obama an unfair competitive advantage. In the interest of fairness, Obama should give back one day in February…perhaps February 9th or 12th. If that happens, Obama’s lead is cut in half and Clinton has a shot of overtaking his delegate lead.
