Clinton Campaign Manager To Obama Team: Help Get Michigan And Florida Counted
Clinton campaign manager Maggie Williams has issued an open letter to Obama manager David Plouffe, calling for negotiations on a solution for the Florida and Michigan primaries:
"In Florida and Michigan, nearly 2.5 million Americans made their voices heard and participated in primary elections. We think the results of those primaries were fair and should be honored," the letter says — a condition that the Obama campaign would undoubtedly consider unacceptable.
The letter then offers a small olive branch: "We think there are two options: Either honor the results or hold new primary elections ... We hope that your campaign will join us in our efforts to ensure that these votes are counted."
Meanwhile, Florida's Democratic delegation to the House have announced that they oppose "any redo of any kind."
