Hillary Clinton was asked by the AP whether she would consider taking the battle over Florida's and Michigan's delegates all the way to Denver.

The presidential candidate said Wednesday, "Yes I will. I will, because I feel very strongly about this."

She made the comments in the Sunshine State, where both she and Barack Obama are campaigning. If you'll remember, Florida and Michigan had their delegates yanked after going against party rules and voting early. Clinton took both states, but Obama's name wasn't on the ballot in Michigan.

The Democratic National Committee meets late next week and they'll discuss the matter of what to do with those up in the air delegates.

Remember when Clinton insider Terry McAuliffe said Hillary would probably drop out in early June? Yeah, I didn't believe him either.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
