One thing is clear, Clinton is taking this thing all the way to the voncention floor for a credentials fight. All this jazz about SD primaries, that old hag Pelosi and younger hag Howard Dean wanting the SDs to vote now (e.g. vote for Obama now) is not going to happen. That is as much of a rules violation as seating Fl/Mi delagates. Clinton is going to have a shot at this. If she is within 100 delagates and has a lead in the popular vote (including MI/FL) I think she has just as valid as an argument to make as Obama does. The Clintons are like roaches, just when you think you have finished them off, they crawl up through the toilet.BTW, how are the MI/FL voters going to feel when the Dems throw them under the bus? Methinks McCain has a shot at MI this year and FL is a lock. Way to go Democrats, only your dumbass party can take a golden opportunity like Bushes 30% approval rating and an economy in the crapper and totally blow it. In what should have been a cake-walk, there is a chance McCain wins this thing by a 40 state landslide. To paraphrase Winston Churchill, The GOP is the worst political party ever, except all the others.
