By David Finnigan

“We’re making ‘herstory’ with Hillary. She not only won, but won big,” said the Beverly Hills lawyer who once successfully sued a French restaurant because it gave separate menus to men and women but the women’s menus did not list dinner prices.
All of California’s Clinton and Obama at-large, elected and super delegates will meet in Sacramento on May 18 for orientation before the Democratic National Convention. “No way as a delegate do I want her to drop out,” said Allred, who is representing U.S. Rep. Henry Waxman‘s 30th District. “I want her to go all the way to the convention."
