BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) -- Hillary Rodham Clinton says she is willing to take her fight to seat Florida and Michigan delegates to the convention if the two states want to go that far. In an interview with The Associated Press, Clinton was asked whether she would support the states if they continue the fight.
The presidential candidate said Wednesday, "Yes I will. I will, because I feel very strongly about this."
Clinton is calling for delegates from both states to be seated at the convention based on the primaries.

Operation Chaos
Let it go evil beast. Let it go.
I hope she does!
While I think very little of her as a person and have NO agreement with her ideology, I have to say, she’s got tenacity.
And the party rules?
You know, the rules the party set up before all the primaries?
Oh, wait.
Clinton....rules....
Never mind.
That’s right; fight amongst yourselves: http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/video/play.shtml?mea=252556
Operation Chaos
Yup ... it’s working!
Go Hitlery - GO FOR IT!
Yes! Yes! Yes!.......Go witch go!
Oh, it’s not the Clintons that ignore rules.
The mindset of the left is that if the rules don’t provide the outcome you want, ignore or change the rules until you DO get the outcome you want.
Fla 2000.
She has a point...had both states voted during their assigned time slots, she’d have carried both, thus probably putting her over the top.
Her problem now is that the media has annointed Barry and don’t what to hear anymore from her.
LOL!
thanks for the link, that was “crazy exciting” to watch...
Not counting two states votes is outragious!
Hillary couldn’t fight her way out of a wet paper bag with a switchblade. She had the nomination from Day 1. Then Day 2 came along and her team couldn’t figure out how to beat a first term Senator. All she can do now is get her name in the papers, and Bill gets to travel the country getting new phone numbers for his late night calls/visits.
That girl is a fighter! You go girl!
That a girl, hillary.
Take it all the way Hill, you are leading in the popular vote. Count every vote and let every vote count.
Good times.
The longer this keeps up, the less eyes on Mclame.
He needs to stay out of focus until early November.
Will Operation Chaos work in Puerto Rico???
Would all of you Hillary supporters be rooting for her if it were Hillary vs. McCain in the general and he had the most electoral votes and she had the most popular votes — ala Gore v. Bush?

He'll be "out of focus" a lot longer than that.
“Would all of you Hillary supporters be rooting for her if it were Hillary vs. McCain in the general and he had the most electoral votes and she had the most popular votes — ala Gore v. Bush?”
geez. chill out.
Stick to your guns Hillary!
Does counting their votes automatically go along with seating them?
Regardless, if not seating them worked to Beastie’s advantage, she’d be advocating that. She doesn’t really give a rip about the delegates or the people they ostensibly represent. Only the fact they can help bring about her goal.
Rush had an interesting speculation today that Obama-lama Ding Dong won’t want Beastie as a running mate as Slick being part of that package, would take all attention away from Ding Dong and upstage him on the stage and during the convention.
I’m actually pulling for HRC to follow through on something. Somebody pinch me.
There..fixed it.
Suppose the rules committee goes against her on May 31st. Then she would have to trigger a floor fight at the convention, wouldn’t she? At least if we can take on face value that she strongly believes these votes should count. If we believe that she has any strong core beliefs.
The Dem. race could be in limbo till the convention if that happens, if she decides to go for a floor fight. Obama will almost certainly get to 2026 delegates by June 3rd, including more super delegate endorsements, but if Florida and Mich. get counted, the number needed to clinch it goes to 2210. And then we would all have to wait for the floor fight and roll call of states at the convention to see if Barry gets his 2210+. Or to see the results of the floor fight to see if 2210 is the magic number needed.
Or Hillary could concede and spare Democrats some grief.
This adds fuel to my long held theory that there will be no dem convention (as they have previously been known) this year.
Very doubtful...Obama was totally unknown at the time FL & MI voted...had they waited and voted at the time they were supposed to, he was having his love affair with America and all the dirt had yet to come out on him.
Does Hillary care about tearing apart the Democrat party? Does she care about her future role in the Democrat party? Does she care about running for pres. or other offices in the future and having Democrat party support?
Considering what happened to Chicago in 68, Denver should withdraw their invitation for the CommiecRATs to convene there.

A lot would...and also, vote for her.
Well of course she will. Those superdelegates don’t actually count until they vote, which is AT THE CONVENTION. They can change who they support daily if they want to.
I’m afraid that the beast and osama will pair up via. demand from the party. Fact that neither of them are electable but the pair would probably cinch it for the dems. I figure that osama or slick will realize that you get all of the perks and only half of the notoriety for being VP and that’s better than their current day job. All for the good of the party.
That's the one thing I give her credit for (Ron Paul, too, for that matter) and wish to God our side had a whole lot more of. If they're going to go down, they'll go down swinging.
Shea needs to touch her with the Sword of Shannara. Warlock Lord Hillary refuses to accept the truth of her electoral death, and continues to haunt the realm.
She’s in too deep to quit now; her antics have killed any chance she had to be relevant in 2012. It’s all or nothing now; it will be nothing.
If she had bowed out gracefully months ago, she could have risen from her coffin to plague the countryside again; as it is, she has played the Van Helsing to her own Dracula.
I respecfully disagree. I live in Michigan. There are NO jobs here, homes are being foreclosed on many blocks in many cities...Hillary wins here in a cakewalk. Michigan is in a DEPRESSION...Hillary has what’s left of the union base. Barry has blacks in Detroit, not enough to counter.
In Florida, Hillary wins again...Barry has ticked off the Jews and the Hispanics...in fact, Hillary wins both states easily.
I gotta agree. The lady has been abandonned by putative allies, mauled by the press and denounced from nearly every liberal quarter and yet she keeps fighting. And why shouldn't she? She won KY last night by 250,000 votes. Against the presumed nominee of her party!! I'll say one thing...Hillary can take a punch.
Just curious if anyone else has the thought in the back
of their mind that osama may come up with at sever case
of Arkanside before November and if the beast has not dropped
out by then, well, she’s it.
Heh, heh, heh... You go, girl!
`Fight, fight—black and white!
Black is winning—fight white, fight!’
a popular chant from my playground days
That's a pretty lame question. What do you think?
And then she reveals the infamous “Whitey” tapes...
Where has Rush been? That's yesterday's news.................
Then I guess if both were always a given for her, it was pretty damn dumb of her to agree with DNC that they would neither one count, huh?
