13. What she may have wanted before is subject to debate
But Hillary Clinton accepted a specific revote plan for Michigan that the DNC approved. I have no doubt that she likes to position herself as a champion of MI and FL voters for any number of reasonss. Supporting revotes in both of those states now, in my opinion, is a good reason because it sound both politically and morally, it is the path of maximum enfranchisement. The DNC is officially on record saying revotes are a proper way to resolve the delegate disputes in both states. Obama can just as clearly win favor in FL and MI by championing them as Clinton can. If that is an effective way to curry favor in FL and MI, at least with some voters there, as the current front runner for the Democratic nomination for President, currying some favor with some FL and MI voters might make some sense for Obama.
