She's just such an old-timey back-room-deal hack Democrat politico, comfortable bogging herself down with squabbling inside the party rather than sailing on campaigning out among the people with some dignity. If she'd said about FL and MI, "I know it isnt to our advantage, but rules are rules," she would have gotten the respect she wants. IMO.

The committee's ruling gave Clinton 105 pledged delegates from Florida and 69 from Michigan.

Obama received 67 pledged delegates from Florida and 59 from Michigan.

Thus Obama clinches the magic number, 2026 needed to win.

OMG she WAS scary!

I didn't get what she was saying, about she coould be called white but he couldn't be called black?

Maybe she was just foaming at the mouth a bit too much and it came out garbled.

No, you've got that wrong. Though your delegate totals, for Obama and Clinton, are correct, they now only count for 1/2 each. Also, because Mi and Fla's delegates are now included, it now takes 2117 to clinch the nomination.

Yes we can
I support Hillary Clinton

I watched the DNC members Saturday speak on behalf on how to decided the Michigan and Florida delegates. I was very irritated by many superdelegates ( most who were Barack Obama supporters ) making the indication that Florida and Michigan primary would have been alot closer if no one was told their votes wont count. Whats wrong with that? Well eventhough many were told their votes wont count, Hillary Clinton recieved a large amounts of votes while Barack Obama recieved only few. I'm hearing the suggestion that the majority of the people who didnt vote is simply Barack Obama supporters which is not true.

Woot Hillary
