Clinton lays out path to party nomination

(snip)

Of late, talk has been that both should see their voting power cut by half, to make sure some penalty attends their violation of national party rules. But Wolfson and Clinton strategist Harold Ickes – who sits on the Rules and Bylaws Committee and voted to strip Michigan and Florida of their delegates last year – say the entire votes should be counted and the delegates apportioned as they would have been if the primaries counted.

Since it started appearing, however, that Obama would capture the nomination, her campaign has changed its tune.

Said Ickes, who will have a vote next Saturday when the Rules and Bylaws Committee meets on Michigan and Florida: “These states have in fact been punished.” By which he went on to explain that they were penalized by not seeing any of the candidates campaign in them.

Clinton has said that if she does not believe Michigan and Florida are dealt with fairly, it is a fight she would take all the way to the national convention in Denver this August – a position she shares with U.S. Sen. Carl Levin of Michigan, who was a prime mover behind the Jan. 15 primary, which was called as a challenge to Iowa and New Hampshire’s primacy in the presidential selection process.
