From the New York Times:
Seizing on her Pennsylvania primary victory, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and her surrogates are renewing their efforts to have the disputed Michigan and Florida convention delegates seated and pushing the argument that she now leads in the total number of votes cast when the tallies in those two states are included.
This is striking in its audacity. Last time I checked, BOTH candidates agreed to abide by the rules of the DNC – neither Florida nor Michigan would seat their delegates. Does Hillary Clinton really want to win by cheating? Oh look! Yes she does:
“I’m very proud that, as of today, I have received more votes by the people who have voted than anybody else,” Mrs. Clinton said on Wednesday in a campaign appearance in Indianapolis. “It’s a very close race, but if you count — as I count — the 2.3 million people who voted in Michigan and Florida, then we are going to build on that.”
Psssssssssst. Senator Clinton. Barack Obama wasn’t on the ballot in Michigan.
At least the times correctly reported her lead in the Pennsylvania primary as 9 points instead of “double digits.”
