Pro Clinton PAC created encouraging women to support full seating of MI and FL delegates

<snip>

Susie Buell, one of Clinton's top fundraisers, formed a political action committee encouraging women to support full seating of the delegates. The PAC has taken out newspaper ads promoting the rally.

On Thursday, she objected to Plouffe's talk of chaos. "So much is at stake in this election and we will not be accused of creating chaos when we are standing up for the democratic principle that every vote counts," she said.

In fact, Plouffe did not accuse Clinton supporters of plotting chaos. He said that could be the result if Obama supporters were to respond by sending thousands to the rally.

Clinton exhorted supporters earlier this month to press the Democratic National Committee to seat all Michigan and Florida delegates. A torrent of angry e-mails has been sent to rules committee members since.

Typical of their tone: "You cannot willfully silence the voices of millions and then expect those voices to support you in the general election." "The DNC will never get another nickel from me." "More than ever, you ... are showing your disrespect and hatred for women by your actions."

4. Ickes Warns of Clinton Defections
Harold Ickes, Sen. Hillary Clinton's "chief delegate hunter," told the Huffington Post "that there may be some defections" among the 13 DNC rules and bylaws committee members who have endorsed Clinton. "If Ickes and his allies cannot hold all their troops in line, a motion before the RBC to seat all 210 Florida and 156 Michigan delegates with a full vote each would face certain defeat."
