What does Hillary want?
What would it take for Clinton to concede defeat? An insider remembers -- and draws lessons from -- the backroom deals that ended another brutal, racially charged Democratic slugfest.
By Dan Conley [2008-05-08]

  • clarification

    You're welcome, Celia. I should clarify, however, that counting Florida and Michigan as-is would give Hillary 55 more delegates than Obama would receive from the two contests. There are 356 in all, so Obama would get about 150 of them, and Hillary would get about 205. So any argument that Obama's intentionally keeping FL and MI from being seated is ridiculous, because it wouldn't change the fact that he's still going to win the delegate count by triple figures.
