Much at stake for Clinton tomorrow

Hillary Rodham Clinton’s long shot bid for the Democratic presidential nomination received a boost today when four top Michigan Democrats sent the heads of the national party’s Rules and Bylaws Committee a letter asking them to support seating the state’s lost delegation at full voting strength.
News of the letter was reported by Todd Spangler of the Detroit Free Press.
A staff recommendation to the Democratic National Committee is suggesting that the delegations from Michigan and Florida be seated with half their voting rights, but it is not binding.
The committee is scheduled to meet Saturday in Washington.
According to Spangler, the letter argued that New Hampshire first broke the calendar rule for primaries though that state suffered no consequences.

According to the lawyers, only half of FL and MI delegates can be seated (or all seated with half a vote). With Obama’s current lead, this will not significantly change the outcome. If Hillary gets any more than this, propriety will be questioned!
Hillary, the Queen of Spin and a Legend in Her Own Mind!
