Obama has to be very careful the Clintons don't pin him on it.
It's refreshing to see Obama taking it too the Clintons who are getting rather testy.

The thing that scares me are Michigan and Florida. Both are probably in the Clinton camp wrt delegates, but are not supposed to count at the convention. If it comes down to a close race or a brokered convention, you know the Clinton's (and maybe the Dem establishment) will try to seat those delegates to break the logjam in their favor.

I can hear the argument... "We don't want to disenfranchise the voters from the GREAT states of Florida and Michigan, so...". They have those delegates in their back pocket and in a brokered convention they would be crazy not to try to pull them out.

The only thing that would mitigate this is if Florida went for Obama... but it doesn't look like that will happen.
