Why should all of that money be spent on a vanity project for your ego? You can't catch up to Obama's delegate count. You can't get the nomination without tearing the party apart. How long are you going to hang on? Remember "Weekend at Bernie's?" The guy was dead, but they kept carrying him around. Your campaign is done; please quit carrying it around and destroying the Dems chances in the fall. You are only destroying your credibility and future political career in the process. Surely you care about THAT. For heaven's sake, Hillary, let it go. Why should all of that money be spent on a vanity project for your ego?

Why did you, Hillary, agree to not include both Michigan & Florida when they asked you before the game started? Why do you expect America to take you seriously now that you want to change the rules of the game in the middle of the game? America knows that the ONLY REASON you want to include them is NOT because of what you said but its because you are loosing and hoping that these 2 states will give you that lead. If you REALLY care to have delegates from these 2 states, why not allow them to join but without it affecting the score? What if the roles were reversed? Would you still give your opponent another opportunity or would you say, the rules we agreed to are the rules I am playing by. I played by the rules now can my opponent respectfully abide by the rules we BOTH agreed to. Fair is fair. Hillary, please answer this question for America.

There were rules set, she agreed to the rules, she had a big lead before a single vote was cast, thanks to the help of the media and super delegates. Now she is losing, and if not for super delegates she will be losing by an additional 30 delegates, possibly an additional 60 if the obviously support barak. Although she agreed to the rules at the onset, now that she is losing, she is looking to use underhand tactics by getting delegates out of michigan. seems she failed in florida. I understand the importance of everyones right to vote and i feel for florida and michigan voters, but if they think hilary cares about them, then it's not just the democratic party officials in those states that are a bit simple. Surely if she was losing in the polls in those states, she would no tbe pressing this hard for them to be reinstated. its so amusing to see how the hillary campaign team operate.

Because of this, I don't believe he will practice what he preaches. I am a Clinton supporter but in all honesty I could care less about Rev. Wright or Ferraro for that matter. What I care about is how the candidate themselves stand for in the world. It is obvious he doesn't want to open the MI and FL votes, he is hiding behind the comfort of those states not counting, and that is not the kind of candidate he has positioned himself as. I'm glad Clinton is going there because no one else (like the media's treatment of him before this) is going to bring it up and actually fight for the people's vote to count. Yes, I believe a fighter is in order these days. Obama seems to bend with the wind, especially when it is beneficial to him.

If these votes had been cast for an Africian American candidate, there would be no question as to whether the votes would be counted. Every civil rights attorney and Black ctiizen would be demanding justice----that the votes count. Hopefully, one way or another, the voters in Michigan will have a voice in the race for the President of the United States.
