Clinton calls for Fla., Mich. votes to be counted
Hillary Clinton sent a new e-mail out today asking voters to help convince the Democratic National Committee to count the votes from the Michigan and Florida primaries.
“Millions of voters in Florida and Michigan are depending on you to help make sure they have a voice in this race,” Clinton says. “Will you stand up for them today?”
The DNC’s Rules and Bylaws Committee is meeting May 31 to make a decision about the currently uncounted votes.
“Now I need you to urge the DNC to make the right decision on May 31,” the e-mail continues. “I need you to remind them that in the Democratic Party, we count every vote.”

Obama responds to Bush, McCain comments
While at a town hall meeting in Watertown, S.D., Barack Obama responded to comments made by President Bush yesterday in Israel, as well as some similar remarks from John McCain concerning foreign policy.
“I want to be perfectly clear with George Bush and John McCain and with the people of South Dakota,” Obama said. “If George Bush and John McCain want to have a debate about protecting the United States of America, that is a debate that I am happy to have any time, any place, and that is a debate that I will win because George Bush and John McCain have a lot to answer for.”
Here’s a video of his response:
