Today's NY Times editorial

The Times takes Hillary to task again, reminding her that the people of New York state deserve a Senator who returns to that job with influence and integrity to use on their behalf. And they urge her not to pursue the "nuclear option" with a fight at the convention to seat Florida and Michigan's delegates.

An excerpt:

We endorsed Mrs. Clinton, and we know that she has a major contribution to make. But instead of discussing her strong ideas, Mrs. Clinton claimed in an interview with USA Today that she would be the better nominee because a recent poll showed that “Senator Obama’s support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again.” She added: “There’s a pattern emerging here.”

Yes, there is a pattern — a familiar and unpleasant one. It is up to Mrs. Clinton to change it if she hopes to have any shot at winning the nomination or preserving her integrity and her influence if she loses.
