Hillary Renews Call for State Re-Votes

Posted Apr 5, 08 8:24 PM CDT in Politics 

(Newser) – Stumping in Oregon today, Hillary Clinton kept up her fight to recognize Florida and Michigan primary results, saying the votes had been “officially tallied,” the AP reports. “The question is whether those 2.3 million Democrats will be honored.” Meanwhile Barack Obama’s camp, which has offered to evenly split the disputed delegates, reminded reporters that Clinton once said the contests “didn’t count for anything.”

Florida and Michigan saw record turnouts, even though Obama and Clinton stayed out of the states after the Democratic Party invalidated both primaries. Clinton was the clear winner in each, but her prospects appear to be dimming as Florida, and yesterday Michigan, decided not to hold do-over primaries.

    Holdout Hillraisers Are Acting Like Spoiled Rich To Hillary supporters continuing to nurse their wounds and vowing to vote for John McCain, Michael Kinsley has this to say in Time: "Now is the time to just get over it." Their complaints of sexism in the campaign are misdirected—"there is no easy way these folks can vent their anger at Chris Matthews. So they are taking their revenge on people without health care, women who need abortions, and others who they (if they supported Hillary) must think will be harmed by a Republican victory in the fall. That'll show 'em."  More »

    Obama Raises $30M in June, Below Expecations Insiders say that Barack Obama raised about $30 million in June, which, by the campaign's own lofty standards, is a bit lackluster, reports the Wall Street Journal. Obama hopes to have raised $300 million by mid-October, with an additional $180 million for the DNC, bringing his record budget to nearly $500 million. McCain's camp, meanwhile, raised $22 million in June and plans to spend about $400 million when factoring in party and public funds. More »
