It's Valentine's day but not much love between the Hillary
Clinton and Barack
Obama who are still fiercely fighting for the Democratic nomination.
Clinton has officially changed her strategy. Instead of competing in all states, she's
focusing just on the delegate rich ones. Her attention is now Texas, Ohio,
and Pennsylvania.
Her campaign put out a memo that says, it's not about winning
the most states, but the most delegates. Barack Obama has now won 22 states
to Clinton's 8.
The Reverend Al Sharpton inserted himself into discussion that
could become crucial - what to do with Florida's and Michigan's delegates.
The DNC stripped the voters of delegates when the state legislatures moved
their primary into January.
In a letter to DNC Chair Howard
Dean, Sharpton
objected to the possibility of seating the delegates. He wrote that the argument
of disenfranchising voters "should
have been made⦠before the decision was made to strip the states of their delegatesā¦
But to raise the claim now" he says "undercuts all moral authority."
Al Sharpton has not publicly endorsed a candidate.
