Politics 2012: Ron Paul strategy keeps things interesting
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19 (UPI) -- Hillary Clinton has close ties to the leaders of an obscure Democratic Party committee that could decide the fate of her presidential campaign.
The three chairs of the Credentials Committee, which decides which delegates to seat at the national convention, have long-running ties to the Clinton camp and could be instrumental in admitting the delegates from Florida and Michigan, the Washington Times said Tuesday.
All three chairs worked for President Clinton's administration, the Times said, while the rest of the 186-member committee appears split between Clinton and Barack Obama supporters.
With Clinton and Obama running a close race, analysts see Florida and Michigan as potential keys to the nomination. So far, the two states have been effectively banned from the delegate count because their primaries were held earlier than the originally scheduled date.
Nevertheless, the Times said operatives from both camps were busy courting the support of the two states.
