Clinton Aims to win, even if she has to go to the convention.......
Clinton is trying to aim to atleast win 4 out of 6 of the popular vote tallies that are listed on RCP.com, Have the pleaged & super delegates from both Florida and Michigan counted and all votes counted within the popular total. And undermine Obama's credibility as the candidate to beat McCain by showing that polls favor her in big democratic states and swing states and show that if this was a general election she would have won if going by the electoral votes..... Can she pull this off as we head to the convention? I believe so:) its politics, anything can happen.

It's certainly her right to try. Would it be a wise move? Politically, I think it might be suicidal. Over half the party and the voters might be so turned off that she may win the battle, but lose the war. Thus ending her career as a politician and finishing Bill off in terms being a Party leader. Will they risk it? We shall see.

Can you please explain what Hillary is planning to do at the convention when she's going to be down at least 200-300 delegates?
You're being taken for a ride by Hillary, but you don't want to realize it. Hillary has no plan to win, because she can't win - and she knows it. But her personality does not allow her to accept defeat, because that would mean admitting a mistake. And Hillary does not admit mistakes.
You are setting yourself up for a massive disappointment. But look at the bright side - such a disappointment is an educational experience. You will be wiser next time.

She would be in a better position (I'm assuming gender here) if she would 1. learn to spell, and 2. proof read. Then take on the matter of logical thinking.

Clinton is taking only one thing to the convention: a speech reaffirming her June endorsement of Barack Obama.
You delusional losers can cry and whine all you want, you lost.

This is a Democratic nomination. The "popular vote" means nothing to anyone with more than 2 brain cells. This is a delegate race, pure and simple.

Correct, but because the MSM has picked this up as a legitimate challenge to the DNC's position, it's also worth showing that she'd lose even if the popular vote were the deciding factor.

She's not counting non-Hillary votes MI, disenfranchising those who couldn't vote for Obama.
The usual retort to this is that Obama wimped out and ceded the state by following the rules and removing his name from the ballot. But who gives a crap why it happened. Forget that he didn't campaign there; the fact is that his supporters didn't have a chance to even get the 26% Obama got despite having no name recognition, in-state campaigning or, at the time, any realistic chance at getting anywhere in the race.
So I find it absurd for her to have the nerve to talk about disenfranchisement of her MI voters.

Really, do you think that the Supers will overturn Obama's delegate lead? You can seat the Florida & Michigan delegates any way you please...you know in your heart that neither state was won by either candidate, I'm sure the delegates will be seated with some form of compromise, but there is absolutely zero doubt in my mind that neither state can be considered a fair win no matter how delusional the spin.
Fight all the way to the convention if you must, but it is a losing battle. The Supers overturning Obama's delegate count would be the death knoll for the Dem party...you know it, I know it.
Enough pretending.
