Obama Flip-Flops on Florida/Michigan Delegates
Remember that little controversy about seating the Florida and Michigan delegates? This is how it was Covered back in March:
Clinton, who won unsanctioned contests in both states, said the results should be honored or new votes held. Obama said he abided by party rules in skipping the two contests and questioned Clinton’s call now for counting them.
The two states were stripped of their delegates in a dispute with the national party, but held the contests won by Clinton anyway even though no candidates campaigned there and Obama was not even on the ballot in Michigan.
“The Clinton campaign seems to want to make up rules as they go along on this issue,” Obama said. He said he would work with the national party to find a solution.
Seems not that he has everything locked up for the nomination, the Jr Senator from Illinois wants to make nice with Florida and Michigan…so he has changed his mind and now wants them seated:
