Did Clinton Camp Just Counter Their Own Argument?

| | Comments (0)

In their campaign conference call today, the Clinton campaign's Harold Ickes acknowledged that Florida and Michigan violated DNC rules by changing their primary calendar dates without permission. If taken on their merits, Ickes' comments could be interpreted as admission that seating of half the FL/MI delegates may be the best Clinton can hope for. That leaves Talk Left's Big Tent Democrat to the conclusion that:

The Clinton campaign's only argument now seems to be that yes, rules were broken, but to help us in November, the RBC should seat the delegates anyway. It seems to me that the obvious response by the RBC is to rely on its staff memo which says it can only restore half of the delegates, and that to honor the voters of Florida and Michigan, it will magnaminously do so.
