Does this really means anything, why is she still running, is it really possible to win it, even if she takes it to the convention which I really doubt the party will allow it to be stretched that far, but why is she doing this, cant she just be a leader and show some respect and congratulate Obama. Today we find that the Democratic Party is not controlled by the Clintons, because believe me for a while we had this illusion that it is actually like that. Anyway they approved  seating Florida and Michigan Delegates with Half Votes, I really do not know if this is actually gonna make any difference.

The only difference I see is that the numbers changed a bit, now to clinch the nomination the candidate needs to get 2,118 delegates, Obama had a total of 1,984 delegates ofcourse counting both pledged and super delegates, now after getting 32 delegates from Michigan and 36 from Florida his total is 2,052. Clinton in the other hand, had a total of 1,781 delegates, now after getting 38 in Michigan and 56.5 from Florida her total is 1,877.5.

Obama needs now 66 delegates to clinch the nomination, I guess the numbers might be different, some sources says Obama needs 64 more delegates and some say 66, so whatever the number is Obama is the nominee, I cant believe that we are actually still discussing this.

Harold Ickes, in ending his statement against the Michigan proposal said:
“Mrs Clinton has asked me to reserve her rights to take this to the credentials committee.”  

She really wants to take this to the convention?! She rather hurt her party rather than just drop out, if this goes to the convention and I am so sure it wont, but if it does neither of those two candidates will win, and we will end up with a BUSH third term, idiots.
