Wisconsin is yet another example of why MI and FL's elections should remain null and void |
|
Hillary Clinton has had huge leads in every poll ever taken in every state, up until the point when campaigning starts in earnest. Then the lead shrinks, and lately it's shrunk so much that she's actually lost. The elections in MI and FL were devoid of all real campaigning (yes, yes - Hillary flew in a few times, Obama had a press conference, and a few national ads aired in Florida - if you think THOSE are representative of real campaigning, you don't know what real campaigning is).
It looks possible that MI and FL, even if they counted, wouldn't be enough to overtake Obama's lead, so this could turn out to be a moot issue.

And the Clinton campaign knows that Obama would handily win a revote in Michigan.
Though she may prevail again in Florida, it would be significantly closer.
I can only assume that's why she hasn't pushed for revotes.

3. It's to the point where is really doesn't matter anymore. |
|
Even if they count MI and FL, and I agree that they shouldn't, but if they do Obama will still win the delegate race going away.
