[from Mike Allen's Politico Playbook - who's in politics not to win? and wouldn't that be a desirable quality in a nominee? I don't get this argument]

CRIBBAGE - Obama's chief strategist, David Axelrod, unloads on the Clinton campaign to Politico's ROGER SIMON: 'They would do anything to win, and that means anything. ... There is a frenetic energy around them to commandeer this election in any way they can. ... She is the ultimate Washington inside player. She is always asking, 'How do we wire the vote? How do we wire the system to get the results we want?' ... When they started off, it was all about delegates. ... Now that we have more delegates, it's all about the popular vote. And if that does not work out, they will probably challenge us to a game of cribbage to choose the nominee.'
