Cinton's "Nuclear Option"
I don't see this posted, but it looks like news to me:
Clinton Camp Considering Nuclear Option
Of course, this is as explosive a strategy as taking the nomination from Obama in the credentials process.
Hit recommend if you'd like this to stay on the list. I'm being forced offline in a few minutes, so you guys are on your own until tonight.
Clinton Camp Considering Nuclear Option
Hillary Clinton's campaign has a secret weapon to build its delegate count, but her top strategists say privately that any attempt to deploy it would require a sharp (and by no means inevitable) shift in the political climate within Democratic circles by the end of this month.Not knowing anything about party mechanics, I'd never heard of the Rules and Bylaws Committee, or any hint that anything but the Credentials Committee could affect whether Michigan and Florida gets seated.With at least 50 percent of the Democratic Party's 30-member Rules and Bylaws Committee committed to Clinton, her backers could -- when the committee meets at the end of this month -- try to ram through a decision to seat the disputed 210-member Florida and 156-member Michigan delegations. Such a decision would give Clinton an estimated 55 or more delegates than Obama, according to Clinton campaign operatives. The Obama campaign has declined to give an estimate.
Of course, this is as explosive a strategy as taking the nomination from Obama in the credentials process.
