Michigan re-vote dies, Clinton still pushing

Michigan's Senate packed its bags today, pulling the plug on a re-vote at least for now, - and dashing Hillary Clinton's chances of picking up a majority of its delegates.

Barack Obama's campaign suggested the two could split the votes, but Clinton (who trails the Illinois in delegates) said she not giving up figuring out a "way for the people of Michigan and Florida to have their votes and their voices count."

And she suggested that Obama's nomination could be clouded by failing to count the two states.

"I do not see how two of our largest and most significant states can be disenfranchised and left out of the process of picking our nominee without raising serious questions about the legitimacy of that nominee," she said, campaigning in Terre Haute.

And campaign spokesman Phil Singer warned darkly, "it is unacceptable to disenfranchise the voters who participated in January and if Senator Obama allows that to happen, there will be implications for Democrats in the general election."

Didn't Hillary Clinton sign the "pledge" not to campaign in Florida that helped disenfranchise Florida's voters? Now she's concerned about not counting the votes. Oh, please!
