In the News: Hillary supports seating delegates from Florida and Michigan at the Democratic convention.

In my view there are two options: Honor the results or hold new primary elections."

Strong in Ohio: "Obama, who lost to Clinton in Ohio... outspent Clinton by nearly two to one."

Clinton... posed for pictures, signed autographs, shook hands and accepted hugs." ... In Johnstown, "More than 1,600 people lined up and waited in near freezing temperatures to see former President Clinton... [A] large number of young people lined up to see the speech."

The Hillary I Know: Chelsea met with students in Wilkes-Barre, Annville, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

At Point Park University, Nikitta Sanders "said she was undecided before hearing Ms. Clinton, but is now leaning toward her mother."
