"Iraq does pose a serious threat to the stability of the Persian Gulf and we should organize an international coalition to eliminate his access to weapons of mass destruction. Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to completely deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power." -- Al Gore, 2002

By Sunlen Miller, David Wright & Andy FiesABC NEWS - Barack Obama says it's an "abstract measure" to count votes in Michigan and Florida, whose contests were essentially nulled by the Democratic National Committee when the states violated party rules and moved their primaries ahead of others in the election calendar. "There have been a number of different formulations that the Clinton campaign has been trying to arrive at to suggest that somehow they're not behind," Obama told reporters following a town hall meeting in New Albany, Indiana, "If you want to count them for some abstract measure, you're free to do so. But, you know, the way that the popular vote is translated is into delegates, that's how these primaries and these caucuses work." The debate is more than an academic one for the candidates and Democratic superdelegates who may decide the tightly contested nomination. If votes in Florida and Michigan count toward the national popular vote total, Clinton currently leads Obama by over 100,000 votes; if those states do not count, Obama leads Clinton by several hundred thousand. Adding another point of contention: Obama's name did not appear on the Michigan ballot but both candidates did appear on ballots in the Florida contest. Obama said on Wednesday, the day after a double digit defeat in the Pennsylvania primary, said he would leave it to reporters to "sort thought the various permutations of what should count and what shouldn't that the Clinton camp is presenting." Not surprisingly, Sen. Clinton is advocating for inclusion of the Florida and Michigan counts, a position she made clear in an interview on Wednesday's "Good Morning America".
