If the mainstream outlets (and I count Politico.com among them) are to be believed, today marked the first day that Hillary Clinton's campaign began lobbying party officials to include Florida and Michigan's theoretical delegates in the count when they determine the number required for victory.
It would be difficult to believe this has been Clinton's strategy from the beginning, but it does seem her only way, at this point, to end up at the top of the ticket. The irony is that states were tempted to move up their primaries up so their voters would have more of a say in the presidential contest. That move has resulted in Michigan and Florida voters being denied any say: It has also made every other state down the line a bare-knuckles battleground.
