IF she is given the chance. Sen. Obama is now outspending her two to one in Pennsylvania and has started campaigning very aggressively in that state. All this talk about "do the math, she can't win" is simply not accurate, as you have pointed out here with such vigor and energy, Ms. M. While I am not, of course, supposed to take any official position on this race, in my role as Chairperson of the Democratic National Convention this August, I assure you that my true position has been (quite) misrepresented in the media and in the "BLOGosphere,". (Such an unfortunate term!)

I do believe that the delegates for FLA & MICH should be seated in August and that the votes of those states' Democratic voters should be counted. I also believe that some form of re-count must be held in both those states -- it is only fair to do so. If the situation were reversed and Sen. Obama were thought to lead in FLA & MICH, I do believe he would be taking the exact same position that Sen. Clinton's campaign, and President Clinton himself, are currently taking.

Thank you for your well-thought-out message here and as always, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

ON TO DEMOCRATIC VICTORY in 2008! (With all due respect to my Congressional colleague, the handsome & distinguished Senator John McCain, of course.)
