Clinton-Spitzer 2008

Interesting that Michigan is so close. That would have to be good news for Obama, I would think, should there be a revote. I would have thought Clinton had the edge there.

I think Obama would win Michigan in a revote. The state has a lot of blacks in the Detroit area and Jesse Jackson won here in 1988.

I don’t think Clinton really wants a revote in either state.
Right now, if they were seated based on the January elections, she gets 178 total delegates and Obama gets 67. A net 111 for her. Even if all of the 55 delegates from Michigan currently uncommitted go for Obama she’s still at a net 56.
She got 55% in MI and beat him in FL by 17& at 50-33. If they have a revote, even if she wins both states her margins will be much closer.
I think she wants to keep the issue alive becasue she knows there’s no way the convention won’t seat the two states.
If it’s August 25th and 313 delegates from Florida and Michigan are in Denver, they’re being seated, I don’t care what the rules are.
Why would she want to chance a potential loss in MI and a sure narrowing in her delegate advantage?

Obama should not revisit Michigan or Florida. His party abided
by the rules set the DNC. A revisit would only help Senator Clinton’s losing
campaign. There will be massive Clinton negative attack via the mail,
print and television that the Obama campaign is not ready for and
should not have to deal with given the statistics leading out of Texas.
This election should be over.
