What happens with Florida won't matter much for Clinton
Neither the current delegate split based on the last primary nor a re-do in Florida will make a big enough difference in Clinton's delegate total to warrant the attention that it is getting. At most, she'll get a couple dozen extra delegates out of it, while Obama will remain much farther ahead than that. I think her only hope, and what this is all about, is Michigan: IF she can get her 55% of the delegates there and Obama gets his 0%. I don't think any honest democrat will accept that as fair, but I think it's her ultimate goal, and the only way she can get close to Obama's delegate total. That's why she's opposed to a re-do in Michigan.
