redneckgaijinClinton vows to fight on, on the basis that Florida and Michigan should- and must- count.
The Huffington Post refers to this as "Clinton's nuclear option," and I agree; this has the potential to destroy the party, and the Clintons are by no means averse to doing so... provided, of course, that they take none of the blame for it.
Even with Florida and Michigan, they're behind. If they get anything less than Florida and Michigan as they voted- with Obama shut out in Michigan- they can't win.
This is the last movement of the goalposts, the last stand for the Clintons, their last hope to retain their power and prestige in the Democratic Party.
How long they can stand remains to be seen.
