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.

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?
“Yes! Yes! Yes!.......Go witch go!”
Get out the spare Brooms!!
I thought so for a long time, but not so sure now. Beastie has a LOT of baggage, many democrats are sick of the Clintons, and it’s hard to see how she’d be any sort of real asset to Ding Dong.
He’d be more of an asset to her as VP but at this point he’ll never settle for that role.
He’ll try and pair up with some centrist RAT to try and look more appealing to the middle and right-leaners I’d think. Who that is, I can’t say.
I think together they wouldn’t stand a chance. I may be off base but I think two “gimmick” candidates wouldn’t work—either Hills or Obama needs a VP who is a white guy, I think.
Remember who they would be running against. Although he would be stealing a good bit of the democratic vote from them.
Excellent! I’m ready when the rioting begins.
FR is no place for the humor impaired.
I didn’t say she was smart...she thought her nomination was inevitable.
Clinton, Inc. vs. The Democrat National Committee.
An interesting fight.
“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?”
....No....she doesn’t....but what the hell, she’s 60...it’s now or never and she knows it....just getting people to consider voting for a woman president is a tough sell....but voting for an old woman?!!....
I’ve finally come to a conclusion that makes some sense to me. Hillary stays in for 2 reasons:
1) her people know how flawed and doomed a candidate Baraq is. He will not win in Nov. Therefore, she does NOT want to be on the ticket, but wants to be asked, so she can turn it down in a way that makes her appear loyal and magnanimous. That way, she won’t be tainted by the landslide loss.
2) she has also spent a ton of her own money, and would like it back. That, too, will be part of the bail-out deal. Baraq’s campaign will be shaken down for $15-20 million, then she’ll bow out.
Now it all makes more sense (for me).
