Per the entry on You Tube: Tuesday, April 29, 2008 at the Westglow Spa in Blowing Rock, NC. Clinton says seating FL and MI at half delegates is most practical solution.

Well, who would've guessed?

Frankly I think the only just action would have been a revote, but the Dems didn’t want to pay for it. Add Obama to the ballot in Michigan and suddenly the race changes. How many people voted Hillary because they felt an “uncommitted” was a waste and ran the risk of being a vote for Hillary in the long run anyway?

As for Florida, well, both of them violated the “no campaign” promise, just to different degrees. Personally I feel Hillary’s violation was more blatant since she just happened to schedule fund raisers, that she said weren’t campaigning, leading up to the election. To me, set foot in the state, getting press coverage, and meeting with potential voters and you are campaigning. Obama’s argument there is weaker though since his mass media buys just happened to include Florida stations (sorry Barry, I am willing to bet they’d have negotiated excluding those stations).

If the party wants to admit their original stance was inappropriate (which is debatable) it’s a lot easier to justify seating Florida than Michigan. Only one of the 2 candidates played dirty pool in Michigan. I don’t see justification for seating ANY Michigan delegates.

Obama used party rules to foil Clinton

I'm of the opinion that those delegates be counted... No matter what it costs :-)

The delicious, savory, long lasting irony here is that Obama is about to be “Selected” and “Not Elected”. Who is selling the T-shirts and bumper stickers? Almost every stupid slogan thought up by the left about the Florida situation in 2000 applies to this situation except for one significant point. This time it is actually TRUE.
