DATELINE WASHINGTON D.C. November 3, Election Eve, 2008 — Most TV viewers thought it was a throwaway line when Sen. Clinton said: “I happen to believe every vote should be counted, in Michigan, Florida and on American Idol!”

But when she belted out that sentence to convention delegates last August, the campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination took another bizarre turn.

The convention adjourned without a nominee as Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama left the campaign trail to prepare for a special Presidential Presentation of “American Idol.”
