Michigan and Florida (2.00 / 13)

"9/1/2007 - Clinton Campaign Statement on the Four State Pledge The following is a statement by Clinton Campaign Manager Patti Solis Doyle.

"We believe Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina play a unique and special role in the nominating process. And we believe the DNC's rules and its calendar provide the necessary structure to respect and honor that role. Thus, we will be signing the pledge to adhere to the DNC approved nominating calendar."" http://www.hillaryclinton.com/news/relea se/view/?id=3134

Re: Michigan and Florida (2.00 / 1)

Obama learned something from the MI/FL pledge signing that the candidates did. He learned that you never, ever, ever trust Hillary Clinton. She says one thing and does another, every f*ing time.

Never trust her. She'll keep insisting on changing the rules in this contest so that she comes out the winner, until the DNC puts a stop to it.

Someone at some point will have to tell the Clintons that they are no longer the center of the universe. All the candidates knew the rules. Obama was smart enough to win within the rules. Hillary wasn't. It's as simple as that.

Hillary lost. Obama won.

Re: Maybe you should check what really happened. (none / 0)

Here's what happened:

Clinton pledged to not participate, then she participated.
Then she claimed that those votes wouldn't count for anything, and now she's claiming that they did indeed count.
In the meantime she experienced sniper fire in Bosnia while being read a poem by a little girl.

Never trust a Clinton.

Clinton did as agreed. Obama didn't. (none / 0)

Fundraising was allowed. Press conferences and ads were not. Obama ran ads for two weeks in both states and held at least one press conference when HE was in FL fundraising. They also ran a campaign to get voters out in MI to vote uncommitted..a pr campaign.
Hillary didn't speak to
Floridians till the primary was closed. Violation fo this agree was supposed to cause the violator to forfit his delegates won in the primary. When will we see that honored?
