Oh No, Hillary, Don't Throw Me Into The Briar Patch (aka, a re-vote in Florida and Michigan)

Because is the Clinton campaign is stupid enough to want to re-do those states, then they deserve the results from them.

And the results will be - she might eek out small wins in those states, but even in losing, Obama will gain enough delegates to put him clearly over the 2025 number - and in the process, secure the nomination outright.

He probably can't do it just with the pledged delegates the way they are, unless all the supers toss his way. But if the supers split, and he gains 40% of the delegates from Michigan and Florida, he'll have enough to get past the 2025 mark.

He should actually be out in front calling for a re-vote. It would help him more than it would help her.

I mean, she needs it, because she needs all the delegates she can get. But he just needs delegates, even if they're less than her, because he's closer to the nomination than she is.

Those Florida and Michigan delegates will do the trick.


So if Clinton wants a re-do in those states, I say BRING IT ON.

So please, Senator Clinton, don't throw me into the briar patch.

:evilgrin:
