ROCK HILL, South Carolina (Reuters) - Sen. Hillary Clinton, in an about-face, said on Friday she wants the Democratic Party delegates in two states that were barred by the national party to be reinstated and counted in the race to determine the party's U.S. presidential nominee.

Because Michigan and Florida violated the rules, all the major Democratic candidates pledged not to campaign there before their primaries.
Clinton said she did not think she was violating that agreement.

Billary needs to rethink this one.

I am convinced in politics that the one and only goal is to get elected. What comes after the election doesn't really mater to candidates.
This act clearly demonstrates that inspite of any voting machine shenanigans and Walmart cuddling, Hillary is a strong supporter of Democracy!
The case is cut and dry. Yes I feel bad for the democrats in Michigan and Florida but they did break party rules on setting the date of their contests. If Hillary supports this action it will show that she can not abide the will of the party and further is a candidate that does not stand by pledge and word. If she can do that now in the nomination race how can we trust her to not do the same in the White House. I live in NC which will not have its primary until may. It is unfair to other states not having early primaries that Florida or Michigan should be let off the hook if others states as mine who need to heard just as much as early states in the delegate race can not contribute until later ourselves. Hillary only exposes herself as wanting to secure votes not be genuinely concerned about the rule of law and the issues facing voters
Hillary and Bill are scrambling now and this is another example of their frustrated desperation. By the way, was I the only one who picked up on Hillary's faux southern drawl as she was stumping in Tennessee? Give me a break!
Actually, am I the only one that thinks that CNN should just come out and give its endorsement for Barack Obama? I am a John Edwards supporter and I am tired of hearing about how Obama is doing the right thing, or how Obama did this and that. It is very tiresome. At this point, I will even welcome compliments to Hillary Clinton as long as I don't have to hear more CNN political commentators (a.k.a. Obama's supporters).
I totally Agree with Lissy,
I am tired of CNN talking about Obama alot, it should instead endorse Obama. I watch CNN hoping that oneday they will cover Political fairly but they are not doing their job, instead braving about Obama all the time. CNN, you should think what you are doing, you should show what's fair to people when we are in process of making valuable decision of chosing president, You are braving so much about Obama as if he is your source running for presidency. When Hillary won NH/NV, CNN does not publicize her victory for long time but braving so much about Obama SC victory, it's been broadcasted for more than 1 day. What is this, read blobs and realize how unfair you are. CNN is more about -ve aspects of Hillary than +ve, on other hand +ve aspects of Obama. CNN needs to realize how fair is this?as media you need to broadcast real information/fair information instead of BRAVING ABOUT OBAMA ALL THE TIME(SICK OF CNN BRAVING JUST ABOUT OBAMA, SO UNFAIR. I WOULD RATHER SEE ENDORSEMENT FROM CNN FOR OBAMA INSTEAD OF NASTY BRAVING).
We all have to remember that TV News thrives on accentuating differences, successes and failures. So, we shouldn't be surprised if the news seems biased at times.
Anonymous blog comments, on the other hand, have been shown to be a very reliable source of unbiased information.
In this case, regardless of the reporting source, Hillary has shown her true colors.
