Why did Hillary say that? What was she thinking?

Hillary Clinton will say anything to stay in the news.. This is really now the only way she can get attention now that Obama has pretty much won the primaries.

 

In all actuallity, the election is even. If you take into account that Obama will probably not make it to the 2026 delegates needed, unless he sweeps the last 3 primaries.

But even more so, Democrats have really screwed themselves over as the race for their nomination would actually be really cut down to the wire if Michigan and Florida were counted, both won by Hillary.

I think the Democratic candidate will not be known until the convention, as for the first time in a long while the candidate will be picked in a smoke filled room. But either way they choose, they're screwed as half of the Democrats will be pissed their candidate did not win. The only way to reconsile this, is to have both as Presdent and VP, but then they will be attacked by Republicans and McCain showing all of the mudslinging footage of both Obama and Clinton slamming each other.

There is little to no chance that Michigan and Florida will be counted, because the Democratic National Committee stripped them of their delegates because both had primaries that were too early.  Obama wasn't even on the ballot in Michigan. He's 57 delegates away from the nomination, with Puerto Rico, South Dakota and Montana left. He's already leading Clinton in the superdelegate count and should be able to declare victory quite soon.
