My Prediction: Florida and Michigan Will Revote

Hillary wants big states and big delegate counts. But Florida and Michigan are not going to come easily for her.

Hillary's options:

1. Press for a revote in Florida and Michigan. (And backtrack on everything you've said so far about not disenfranchising people by not counting their initial votes)

2. Let the issue go to the credentials committee in November.

The problem with the second option? The committee is stacked with Howard Dean loyalists and will be half Obama supporters. The only way she could take over the credentials committee would be to . . . surpass Obama in pledged delegates.

Cruel world.

So Hillary is left with option 1. We will see a revote. And she will of course push for primaries instead of caucuses.

Ok, so that's settled. So why not do it BEFORE Pennsylvania? You only have about 7 weeks between primaries to set one up. Is that not enough time?
