As for Campaign 2008, the question of the day was the role Michigan and Florida might play in selecting the Democratic nominee, since the National Committee has decided that the delegates selected in January's contests would have no standing. "The nation's fourth and eighth largest states are fighting furiously for a say in the outcome," CBS' Nancy Cordes commented. NBC's Andrea Mitchell asked Hillary Rodham Clinton whether she would accept a do-over. The candidate was evasive about such a hypothetical. "No one is will to pay for elections," Mitchell pointed out, with a possible pricetag of $25m. "The DNC is not opening its wallet and neither, so far, have the states," Cordes concluded. "Everyone wants a way out of this mess but nobody wants to be stuck with the tab."
ABC's Jake Tapper focused on Rodham Clinton's continued efforts to emphasize Barack Obama's national security inexperience by boasting of her skills at answering scary telephone calls at 3am. "Some Democratic officials fear that Clinton now seems willing to do whatever it takes to defeat Obama regardless of the risk that she may be irreparably harming him if he is the eventual Democratic nominee," Tapper mused non-specifically. It seems unlikely that John McCain needs any encouragement from Rodham Clinton: he seems ready to disdain Obama's experience whether she is nasty or nice.
