Conference Call: Clinton Campaign Adamant about Including Florida, Michigan Voters

Clinton Campaign Senior Advisor Harold Ickes and Deputy Communications Director Phil Singer discussed the importance of handling the Florida and Michigan delegate situations correctly in a conference call this afternoon.

The Clinton party alleged that their democratic rival, the Obama Campaign, has been “dragging their feet” about the potential of a rerun primary in both states. Ickes and Singer stressed the importance of including potential voters in all primaries, hoping that by doing so the Democratic Party as a whole will benefit from not losing unhappy potential supporters to Republican votes come November.

Ickes and Singer explained that Senator Obama has not been “forceful” enough in his support for rerun primaries. By doing so, the Clinton Campaign alleges that Obama is risking becoming an “accessory to disenfranchisement.” (43:44)
