UNITED STATES -- Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton is ramping up her call for the Democratic Party to allow the results from the Florida and Michigan primaries to count toward the nomination.

Clinton won both of those races, but the results were thrown out when the two states defied party rules and held their primaries early. Party leaders had warned them that the delegates would not count, and the candidates agreed not to campaign in either state.

At a stop in Oregon on Saturday, Clinton called for the vote outcome from each state to be recognized and that their delegates should have a seat at the convention. A spokesman for Barack Obama accused Clinton of trying to change the rules to serve her own political interests even after saying that the contests "didn't count for anything."

Barack Obama also spent time in the West this weekend. Speaking at the University of Montana, Obama offered his reasons for supporting clean energy technology. He also promised to appoint a high-level adviser on Native American issues if elected president.

Montana has seventeen delegates up for grabs on June 3rd. Two of the state's nine superdelegates have already come out in support of Obama and the rest say they'll decide after the primary.

On the Republican side of the campaign, presumptive nominee John McCain called for the presidential election season to be like a respectful argument between friends than a bitter clash of enemies. He says that the while the Republicans and Democrats may differ on how to handle such key issues as energy, the housing crisis and terrorism, it is "our civic and moral obligation" to "fight among ourselves for the things we believe in."
