Clinton Campaign: Calls To Drop Out Reminiscent Of Florida Recount Decision

Hillary Clinton's campaign manager Maggie Williams sent a memo to reporters today linking the 2000 Florida recount to calls for her candidate to drop out of the Democratic race.

"...the citizens in Pennsylvania, Guam, North Carolina, Indiana, West Virginia, Oregon, Kentucky, Puerto Rico, Montana and South Dakota have not yet had the opportunity to exercise that fundamental right [to vote]," she writes. "Together, this adds up to nearly 43 million Americans. Are their voices any less important than those of the citizens who have already voted?"

"The last time that we were told we'd better cut the process short or the sky would fall was when the Supreme Court stopped the Florida recount in 2000," Williams continues. "But Chicken Little was wrong."

Williams argues that the contest remains "too close to call," stating that Clinton and Barack Obama are separated by less than one percent of the total delegates committed so far.

"No amount of editorials, articles, blog posts, calculations, formulas or projections or friendly, but heated political conversations can change the basic fact that either candidate can win," she continues. "We have all been there before when the pundits have proclaimed that Hillary had no hope of winning."

Williams concludes: "This campaign will wait to hear from all of the voters."
