SCRANTON, Penn. (AP) - Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton Saturday said she supported an effort by Michigan Democrats to hold a new primary in June.

"It needs to get resolved and hopefully Michigan by the end of this week will have done that," Clinton told reporters on her campaign plane between stops in Pennsylvania. "I think they are moving in an appropriate direction to have a revote."

Michigan was a done deal….so said Hillary... before. If the numbers were changed around and Hillary were in the lead you can bet Obama would be under huge pressure to pack it in for the good of the Party. But Hillary is not giving up - despite ripping the Party apart and possibly losing the election in the process - but hey, let the infighting begin…
