Punch, Counterpunch

Early this morning in "And The Winner Is", I attempted to discern what if anything, Clinton's landslide victory over Obama meant in yesterday's Kentucky Primary. Later last night, the results from Oregon's Democratic Primary came in, giving another victory to Senator Obama. Although it was a convincing win for Obama, his margin of victory over Senator Clinton was only half of her Kentucky win, and a third of last weeks West Virginia thumping. Is Hillary gaining momentum? Apparently, she thinks so. Today Senator Clinton said that she is willing to take her fight to seat Florida and Michigan Delegates, all the way to the convention if the two states want to go that far. I wonder if Clinton really plans on bringing the fight to the Democratic Convention or is she up to something else. In "Change The Rules For Me", I theorized that Clinton's new strategy was to push hard to get the Michigan and Florida Delegates seated, with the upcoming Democratic Party's Rules and Bylaws Committee meeting on May 31, to consider how to handle Michigan and Florida's 368 delegates. That's exactly what she is up to, only now Clinton is ratcheting up the pressure by suggesting that she will remain in the race until the convention. Obama must have cold sweats.
