"Saddam Hussein's regime represents a grave threat to America and our allies, including our vital ally, Israel. For more than two decades, Saddam Hussein has sought weapons of mass destruction through every available means. We know that he has chemical and biological weapons. He has already used them against his neighbors and his own people, and is trying to build more. We know that he is doing everything he can to build nuclear weapons, and we know that each day he gets closer to achieving that goal." -- John Edwards, Oct 10, 2002

By KATHARINE Q. SEELYENYT - Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s hopes for the presidential nomination may in large part rest on an obscure Democratic National Committee panel, a group of several allies, but not enough at this point to achieve her goal of counting the votes or delegates of Florida and Michigan.The panel, the Rules and Bylaws Committee, is to meet on May 31 in Washington and could determine the nominating process, or at least heavily influence it. What the committee will do is a major question mark before the last primaries on June 3.Among the 30 panel members, 13 have declared support for Mrs. Clinton and 8 have declared for Senator Barack Obama. Seven others are neutral or have not declared, although some of their fellow members perceive at least four as leaning toward Mr. Obama. The co-chairmen have not endorsed anyone.Among the members is Harold Ickes, a top adviser and chief delegate counter for Mrs. Clinton. Mr. Ickes would most likely lead in making Mrs. Clinton’s case, which is that the committee should seat the full delegations from both Florida and Michigan. The committee has voted to strip both states of their delegates because they violated party rules in moving up their primaries.Mrs. Clinton’s campaign wants the delegates apportioned between her and Mr. Obama based on popular votes. That would give her a net increase of 47 delegates.This is not enough for the lead in the delegate count, but validating those states could bolster the Clinton argument that she is ahead in the overall count of the popular vote. The Clinton camp hopes it can persuade superdelegates that the popular vote is a valid metric by which to judge her strength, and that will help move them into her column.
