What about the people who DIDN'T vote in Michigan and Florida. If we just count them, the people who didn't vote because it wasn't supposed to count are all disenfranchised? What about the four caucus states with no popular vote? Do we just disenfranchise them with the "popular vote" metric?

When will the media start asking these questions instead of blindly parroting everything Clinton says?

So HRC..."I say that not counting Florida and Michigan is changing a central governing rule of this country, that whenever we can understand the clear intent of the voters, their vote should be counted.”

Wake up lazy media...because SHE was one of the people who said this months ago and also voted to punish them last fall...and some of her closest advisors helped create the rule in the first place.

Can someone ask her why wasn't she this mad last year?

Where are we going with this? This is toilet campaigning and it is unbecoming of her to do this.

She is no Al Gore and from the start this was a delegate race and much to her argument Gore lost to the popular vote and so will she, because these are not the rules.

We won't know until D day, so more spin and more drama until then.

The - Democrat Soldier — Wed, 21 May 2008 20:00:25 GMT

I think us dedicated democrats that have played the primary election game fairly, should really begin to wonder why? Hillary continues to defy the notion that she has lost. No matter how she spins or tries to change the rules in the middle and end of the game she has to know she can't win and is falling further and further behind.

I wonder, like a lot of people what her goal is at this stage of the game. I have said months ago when it was certain she would not win, that she was trying to plant the seed for her Presidency in 2012. But, she has to know that if she causes Barack Obama to not win this election. She certainly will not be in a position to win in 2012. She is losing support now because of her charades. Her support would be minimal or non-existent come 2012.

It has to be something else...if she was speaking about what she can do as the President, her agendas, her plans, etc. It would be fair to say she feels she is the better candidate and may need to continue because the game is not really over. But to continue to harp on the notion that she is more electable when in fact she will not be in the position to be elected, really only plays to Barack Obama's election possibilities. (He will win, there no doubt) but what does that say about Hillary's commitment to the Democratic Party.

Then I think about the beginning of this process when somehow the GOP caused the mess in FL & MI...Was this planned? Did another Karl Rove step in to disrupt the primary for the democrat's chance of winning the GE. It's funny to me how this happened and now Hillary is using this to plead her case to continue; all the while she is hammering at Barack Obama's chances in becoming the next President of the U.S.A. I don't know..But I smell conspiracy and it began about 15 months ago.

"Clinton referred to the nation’s founding, the abolitionist movement, suffragists and civil rights activists, and even the 2000 Florida recount in outlining how long people have fought for the principle that every person’s voice should be heard."

Didn't Clinton refuse to agree the re-vote plan, killing it, because it would have allowed the citizens who stayed home, thinking the primary would not count, to participate? She only wanted a re-vote of those who had voted? What a hypocrite.

AJ, IL — Wed, 21 May 2008 20:04:39 GMT

Please just keep campaigning in Puerto Rico, Montana and South Dakota so Obama can end this on June 3rd. Hillary is nearly directly quoting Obama Iowa victory speech yesterday.

Hillary's relationship with the Democratic Party when it comes to Obama is like a mother (Hillary) and daughter (Democratic Party). The Democratic Party respects Hillary but is in love with Obama. Hillary is saying to the Democratic Party "stay with me because Obama is bad for you"..."don't leave the nest".

Just like a mother who doesn't want to let go of her adult daughter to marry the man she loves, Hillary doesn't want to let go of the Democratic Party to support Obama , the man the party loves.

I just sent Barbara Boxer an e-mail asking her to get off the fence and endorse Barack as well as getting the rest of the uncommitted CA supers to do likewise. Hey more Obama supporters need to e-mail the other umcommitted supers in their states, especially ones Obama has won, to endorse Obama and end this despicable attempt to steal away the rightful nomination of Obama.

How far will this Wicked Witch of the East dig our party into debt with her disgusting attacks on Barack Obama and her ignorant financial plan? She doesn't care one bit about the voters of Florida or Michigan or the Democratic Party, she only cares about herself.

I sure hope the supers show her the door before May 31st. Florida and Michigan jumped the gun, broke the party primary rules and don't deserve to change the will of the vast majority of the people who voted legitimately in the other 48 states and several territories.

Go Obama 08/12!

I declare Hillary you are stooping to a new low. Please what will it take to convince you to shut up!! I am all for you continuing to campaign and all. But this blatant lying must cease at once. It is to the point that she is all about dividing the party with her allegations of sexism, and her claims of caring about the voters in FL and MI. I really think that she has no grip of reality. With all the yes people around her it just validates her nonsense. They way she has lied to make herself out to be a winner in this election is just as bad as the arguement that Bush's Admin. presented for the the Iraq war. It was a lie that was easy to see,when not wrapped up with emotion. Just like if her supporters where not wrapped up with emotion of the process they would see that she is lying through her teeth .

Hillary as Al Gore?

Carol, Long Valley NJ — Wed, 21 May 2008 20:05:58 GMT

If HRC manages to defy the math and get the nomination, I would vote AGAINST McCain, but I would never vote against HRC in order to spite the HRC fans, that, to me is juvenile and NOT in the best interests of anyone, let alone our country.

John McCain is a moron, he graduated in the bottom six of his class at the Naval Academy (894 out of 899).

John McCain is an adulterer, he regularly cheated on his first wife, Carol up until he divorced her because she gained weight and walked with crutches after a horrible car accident. McCain married his trophy wife, 17 years his junior, two months after the divorce was final.

John McCain voted to support George Bush's initiatives 92% of the time. John McCain would be George Bush's third term -- "straight talk" disappeared after the SC whisper campaign in 2000 when Rove took him out of the race. Since then, John McCain has embraced George Bush and his policy positions -- every one except global warming.

So vote for McCain if
~ you want to add to the $3 trillion 'mortgage' that Bush has signed away to Chinese and Arab billionaires that you, your children, your grandchildren and your great grandchildren will have to pay
~ you like adding daily to the dead and wounded tallies in Iraq

~ you believe that corporations should run this country (by the way, that's called fascism)
~ you like the oil companies making record profits while you are struggling to fill your gas tank.
~ you like having the jobs that pay a living wage shipped over seas
~ you like making minimum wage and you don't ever want it raised
~ you don't ever want unemployment benefits extended after your plant closes
~ you want to lose your health care
~ you want to lose your pension
~ you want to lose Social Security

~ you think that senility is cute in a President/leader.
~ you want some one who admits that he doesn't understand the economy (his words)
~ you want some one who will always shoot first and talk later
~ you want some one who embraces the right wing hate preachers -- like Hagee and Parsley
~ you want some one who still has about 50 lobbyists running his campaign -- they are not pulling for you -- even worse -- in some cases they are representing foreign governments -- like Myanmar.

~ you don't like Obama's former pastor -- so you are going to show him how ignorant you are.
~ you don't like Obama's skin color -- so you are going to show him how racist you are.
~ you don't like the fact that Obama is intelligent and educated and proved how well he can run a campaign with out relying on "fat cat" donors and with out going into debt -- so you are going to show him how jealous you are.
~ you don't like all the "Get out the Vote" and "grass roots organization" that BHO has done to increase voter registration and turnout -- so you are going to show him how resistant to change you are.

So go ahead, spite Obama, spite yourself and vote for McCain

Or this time do something smart and vote for your wallet, vote for the economy, vote for the environment, vote for jobs.

Vote for the smartest candidate in the race, a real leader (and no that's not McCain -- not by a long shot)

Vote Democratic 2008 -- don't let the corporations and their Republican stooges win again.

This woman would be good for the Supreme Court as a justice, because she will not stop until the last sound has been heard. If all the candidates signed an agreement regarding this matter, then it should stand as is. How is it that the DNC is even considering allowing the rules to be changed. If the rules are changed just for because she's being a squeeky wheel, then the DNC is shady and I want no part of the Democratic Party. It's not democratic at all to disenfranchise 48 states for two rule breaking states.

A better comparison would be with Lieberman not Gore.

If you really want to fairly represent the will of the people in those states then the only answer is to commission a scientific poll and apportion the delegates based on the result. It will far more equitable than any other scheme. But please don't throw in any super-delegates. They are the ones who are not innocent and should be punished.

Super delegates it's past time to send the message that you will not continue to let this woman destroy the party. Everyone has been walking on egg shells with the Clintons, clearly if they don't want to be a part of the DNC, let them go with well wishes and blessings.

Jason, Grand Blanc, MI — Wed, 21 May 2008 20:13:02 GMT

Obama supporter here, but agree with the premise that Michigan and Florida should be seated in some fashion. I believe the best solution is to take away all of Florida's super delegates and seat the full slate of elected delegates. Michigan should have their super delegates taken away and elected delegates halved (with the "uncommitted" vote given to Obama).

This seems equitable to me given how we wound up where we are. It wouldn't make sense to reward the supers in either state (Florida Dems went right along with the Florida GOP in moving the date up after all), and it makes sense to penalize Michigan in some way since it was the Dems who moved the election (Terry McAuliffe has said on multiple occasions that he threatened to halve states' delegations when he was DNC chair and this would be a fair outcome here).

In the final equation, the delegate math still doesn't help Clinton and quite frankly you can't reasonably include popular vote as-is from Florida and (especially) Michigan given they are not representative (since Clinton herself said that the votes "won't count").

How dare she use the American people this cynical way by making them think that this position she is taking is for their voting rights. It disturbs me deeply and everyone else I know feels the same way. We would just like her stop this!! It's selfish and demeaning.

Now she comes off playing the people's champion fighting for voter's rights. Give me a break! She has absolutely no integrity whatsoever.

How about all of the people who actually understood that the votes weren't going to be counted because they read a newspaper occasionally and didn't show up at the polls? They don't matter I guess. But it's easy to fight for it after the fact when yours was the only name on teh ballot in MI and most of the votes in FL went to you because the other candidate did not campaign there.

She is absolutely shameless.

So, Hillary -- tell me how you're NOW going to count her vote when she would've voted for Obama?

Oh, and Hillary? it's not the FREAKIN' popular vote that matters in a primary. It's the DELEGATES.

Of course, Senator Obama doesn't want that, because he knows he would lose, even with his huge fund-raising advantage. The consequences of this race for the White House after 8 years of decay of our country on all fronts are far too serious to get it wrong. Hats off to you Hillary. Never give up.

When is losing, winning? When you take it in the best spirit of competition, accept it, and congratulate your opponent.

Baby Tee-Ballers know more about it than Hillary, and her supporters.

Hillary can do one of two things:

1) Fight for the voting rights of people in Florida and Michigan.

2) Fight for the rights of superdelegates to override the people's vote.

She cannot do both. Why isn't the media hounding her on this blatant contradiction?

We believe the popular vote is the truest expression of your will,” she said. “We believe it today just as we believed it back in 2000....That’s what I’ve always believed.”

Uh really Hillary? Then why in those 8 years, did you not make one effort to change the measure to popular vote from delegates? Riiight, you always assumed 2008 was your year. Until you started losing. NOW suddenly you are all for every vote...unless it's a caucus state, or Michigan where your campaign claims nto one person voted for Obama. THIS is the only way she can make the case for herself? This is just pathetic and the media needs to call her out on it. She contradicts herself every step of the way. Disgusting.

What an insult to Gore!

Hillary was more than willing to "ignore the will of the voters" when it looked like she didn't "need them" to win - Now - suddenly - the two states that blatantly broke the rules - KNOWING THE CONSEQUENCES of that action - are the most important states in the nominating contest - How is that fair to the 48 other states that followed the rules??

And I'm sick and tired of Hillary's claims that she has "won the most popular vote" - Everyone knows that this would NOT be the case had Obama campaigned in these states - even if he lost them, he would have gotten more than enough additional votes to still be in the lead. Add to that the fact that Hillary "won" in Michigan the way that Castro "won" all of his elections in Cuba - Hers was the ONLY name on the ballot.

She is trying to delegitimize Obama as the nominee and the Super Delegates need to wake up and recognize that before she loses the Dems the White House!! She seems to be operating with the attitude that if she can't have the Presidency - then no Democrat will...yeah - that'll show all of the people who are supporting her because she promises to "fight for them" - um, that doesn't mean putting McCain into the White House and letting them suffer another four or eight years because Queen Hillary didn't rule as she had decreed.

Desperate actions by a desperate candidate. As much as I want to stop listening to her and stop reading about her, I find myself drawn to continue watching her circus. She's a train wreck and I can't turn away from the impending crash.

We teach our children to play by the rules and yet Hillary who is running to be the president cannot abide by that.

I would like to hear a clear rationale from a Clinton supporter as to why these votes should be counted when both the DNC and the candidates agreed BEFORE the election that they would not. Obama did not campaign in those states, he did not advertize in those states and his grassroots organization was not put to work in those states. Throughout this process, Obama has demonstrated state by state that even when he was 20+ points behind her in a state, once his campaign got going in that state, he significantly closed the gap or ended up beating her. He never got a chance to do that in Michigan and Florida and he wasn't even on the ballot in one of those two! It is so comically unfair to him to seat Florida and Michigan and it is comically childish to ask for them to be seated just b/c HRC "won" in those states.

Hillary is mentally deranged, we need to face that. It's obvious that a lot of Super delegates are afraid of her. Others are probably being black mailed. I have great sympathy for these Supers...nonetheless, they need to move against their fears and put a stop to this evil woman. They are, after all, our leaders. If they don't stand against her now, it will only get worse and she will become more dangerous. They wanted leadership positions...now is the time show their courage.

Senator Clinton, you're smarter than this.

You're in essence arguing equal protection and it doesn't apply here. This is not the general election. These are primary elections to determine the Democratic Party's nominee and are then subject to the DNC's rules. Since the DNC is not a government body, it is not subject equal protection.

If your claim is to demand that every single vote be counted, I'd suggest you go get an official count from the caucus states. Better yet, go argue for a count from the districts in New York City that on Super Tuesday in the New York Primary registered 0 votes for Senator Obama.
