Clinton: Win At All Costs

in an interview on NPR's morning edition this morning, hillary clinton restated her intention to win at all costs.
on michigan and florida, she said the delegates need to count because she won those states fair and square. if they don't count then there has to be a redo
fair enough on the redo but counting the delegates?
steve inskeep asked her how could it be fair if obama's name wasn't even on the ballot in michigan?
clinton: "that was his choice."
she said obama chose not to put his name on the ballot. "most people took their name off the ballot. I didn't," she said.
most people were abiding by the rules.
she defended her foreign policy role saying she was "part of a team."
steve asked if obama leads in delegates at the end and the superdelegates vote for you (i'm being blunt in his phrasing) will that be fair?
clinton: yes
she also, once again, dismissed obama's wins in small states.
is this what we want in a president? a political schemer? someone who throws fairness out the window when it comes to getting what she wants?
here is obama's "morning edition" interview
obama says that a compromise is necessary. but no one knows how that will look.
