47. HRC 2 days ago: 'I don't think that there should be any do-over...Florida should be seated.
(and net her 42 delegates and 288,000 votes in a no-campaigning-allowed name recognition farce)

She also appeared to echo Michigan Governor Jennifer Granhold in urging that the current Michigan delegation be seated in Denver (and net her 79 delegates and a Soviet-style 328,000-vote "landslide")as "a civil rights issue":

From http://www.usnews.com/articles/news/campaign-2008/2008/03/06/exclusive-interview-clinton-looks-ahead-to-mississippi.html ,

'On a "do-over" in Florida and Michigan, which held nominating contests that broke Democratic Party rules

I would not accept a caucus. I think that would be a great disservice to the 2 million people who turned out and voted. I think that they want their votes counted. And you know a lot of people would be disenfranchised because of the timing and whatever the particular rules were. This is really going to be a serious challenge for the Democratic Party because the voters in Michigan and Florida are the ones being hurt, and certainly with respect to Florida the Democrats were dragged into doing what they did by a Republican governor and a Republican Legislature. They didn't have any choice whatsoever. And I don't think that there should be any do-over or any kind of a second run in Florida. I think Florida should be seated.
