A Very Simple Reporter Question For Hillary Re Florida Primary
Florida reporter Adam Smith just did an interview (first audio segment) with HRC in which she claimed that, although Harold Ickes and other close supporters voted in August 2007 in favor of the DNC's decision to strip Florida of all of its delegates, that's a decision that she, Hillary, does not agree with.
One question to ask, but that Smith did not, is the simple one, Did Clinton discuss the issue with Ickes et al. at the time and either argue against or approve of his vote?
It's inconceivable to me that she didn't approve of this monumental tactical decision at the time. And if she did, she has yet to explain any principled basis for taking a different view now.

Bob Novack wrote an interesting article last fall about how Michigan and Florida breaking the rules would actually be a boon for Hillary. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2007/09/hillarys_brier_patch.html

It sounds like a replay of Clinton's Iraq war vote. Is this how she explains everything she gets wrong and changes her mind on.
Talk about not holding out for what you believe in. That's not a presidential positive.
