Don't give Obama Michigan's uncommitted delegates

Thu May 22, 2008 at 01:23:32 PM PDT

Harold Ickes, the top dog in Sen. Hillary Clinton's campaign charged with locking down superdelegates, said today that they don't want any of the "uncommitted" delegates in Michigan to be awarded to Sen. Barack Obama.

On a conference call today with reporters, Ickes said that the Clinton camp wants all of the delegates awarded to them, but none of the uncommitted to go to Obama and to remain uncommitted, according to Politico.com.

So what they are essentially arguing is that not only do they want Michigan to be included, even though they broke the rules AND Ickes was one of the folks who voted to strip Michigan of their delegates, they don't want Obama to get anything out of Michigan.

They are not looking to bow out nicely. The Clinton camp is about to unleash anything and everything to include Florida.

Trust me. This is FAR from over.

The rules committee of the Democratic National Committee will meet on May 31. Trust me, there will be nothing nice about that meeting.
