"To make sure Michigan's votes are counted, and your voices are heard in this election." Wow! Senator Clinton is going to make "sure" their votes are counted! That "promise" includes her convincing Senator Obama to accept a solution to the Democratic Party self-imposed fiasco that will serve her better than him. Has she no bounds to her claims of her promises, supposed "experience" or her veracity? "I am here for one simple reason," Clinton said to a small crowd of supporters gathered at an AFSCME hall.

LOL, and who are you hurting? If voting for totally different views if your horse loses is what makes you happy then go for. Why do you have to say it though? Think anyone cares who lil Eric votes for? Anyone who can read and still supports seating delegates without revote (and a fair one), support it because you horse is losing. Admit it!!!

Sorry Michigan and Florida, you chose to break the rules so you get punished. I wish that their votes were counted because it would help my candidate but they shouldn't be. I'm still hoping Hillary takes it but we've got to stop tearing each other down. Either Hillary or Obama are far better options than another Republican in office.

If it is so crucial for the votes to count in Michigan, why is she not in Florida attempting to champion the same thing? Why doesn't she fight for a way to make that happen? Michigan is convenient as a tool to hit Obama with because they haven't already ruled out a redo on their primary, that is why. Furthermore, why isn't she placing the blame for this mess where it belongs--on Michigan's legislature and Democtratic party? I thought she was about holding people accountable for their actions. I guess that is the way it is when it is convenient for her ends.

Obama do not make them a Victim. Obama do not be a Cowrd, be democratic, and be a leader people of FL and MI should be counted. To

Obama and Obama supporters

It is not about Obama or Hilary who will win in the nomination.

This is all about democracy and people. Vote should be counted.

Democracy is all about "By the people, for the people and to the people".

Obama do not ignore people for the party leader's mistakes. Obama do not make them a Victim. Obama do not be a Cowrd, be democratic, and be a leader people of FL and MI should be counted.

This is far LESS favorable and less palatable to the Obama people than it is to the Hillary people. WE fought for freedom, and if the DNC rules take it away, then the heck with the hypocritical Democratic party. I hope you Obama supporters will enjoy the reign of McCain.

Hillary broke party rules, her non-compliance of her own party rules shows that she does not believe in or hold to her own party ethics. Her challenge is self-serving. The fundamental right for Flordia and Michigan to vote was not exclusively taken away by Barack obama like Hillary Clinton would like for us to believe. Do we really want a president who will break rules to suit their own best interest ? A president whose greatest experience is contriving. Hillary Clinton's challenge just shows how desperate she is.

HIllary is raising hate and discontent with her very obvious lies. This woman did not leave her name on the ballot because she thought every vote counted. It wasn't an issue when they thought she was going to be coronated after Super Tuesday....NOW it's an issue. Besides, now FL and MI know how all the other states felt during Primaries of previous Presidential Elections. States that had Primaries after Super Tuesday NEVER had a say in who their Party nominated. NO one had an issue with that! Hillary, just admit defeat before you destroy the entire Party. What a selfish power hungry wench. Typical Clinton....triangulate to achieve their goals. HIllary is raising hate and discontent with her very obvious lies.

Hilary knew the rule of the game his year from the beginning of the contest. If the rule of the soccer is you play with your foot. You don't start using hands because you are defeated. Or you are seeking a way to cheat or win by fraud. Dean and the leaders of DNC have repeatedly and rightly say, "you don't change the rule of the game in he middle of the contest." Please reason well. Obama is not the one who made the rule. I am sure if election were to be held tomorrow in Michigan, Obama will still sweep the pool.
