Michigan/Florida May Not Matter Anyway

Submitted by politicalWinters on Fri, 05/09/2008 - 8:04am.

According to the New York Times, the Clinton campaign now says it won't have enough delegates to win the nomination even if the disputed Florida and Michigan delegates are counted.

Quote: even if the delegates were counted, the campaign would still be about 100 delegates shy of the number needed. The implication was that the gap could not be made up, even if she wins more delegates in the remaining contests, as she is expected to do.

That means Clinton's only chance is to get the superdelegates to fall her way in sufficient numbers.
