Tom Edsall: Clinton Camp Considering Nuclear Option To Overtake Delegate Lead - Politics on The Huffington Post

Clinton Camp Considering Nuclear Option To Overtake Delegate Lead - Politics on The Huffington Post: "With at least 50 percent of the Democratic Party's 30-member Rules and Bylaws Committee committed to Clinton, her backers could -- when the committee meets at the end of this month -- try to ram through a decision to seat the disputed 210-member Florida and 156-member Michigan delegations. Such a decision would give Clinton an estimated 55 or more delegates than Obama, according to Clinton campaign operatives. The Obama campaign has declined to give an estimate."

This would be a major power play. Edsall thinks she has to do very well on Tuesday in Indiana and North Carolina in order to pull this off.
