"Get Ready"? It's been going on from the start.
What is up with the implication in the headline that Obama hasn't already suffered the Clinton Rules?
The point is all Democrats are subject to those rules at all times.
Obama has been subject to them for most of the campaign except a tiny grace period when he was presumed doomed to second place and presumed to have fumbled a sure thing. When he was running for Senator, he was stalked in an absurdly extreme manner by Republican operatives with cameras, and yet the GOP was barely criticized for such tactics.
At times Clinton has been treated more unfairly because the rules were invented to get her, but the exceptionalism against Democrats has hit members of the party in all sorts of situations - not just campaigns but the ability for Dems to discuss anything.
So let's stop pretending on this. The worst in this campaign isn't coming from either candidate, it's being amplified by the right wing noise machine.
Remembering this would be far better than the latest slugfest between fanatics on both sides.
