Really?

March 20th, 2008

Hillary Clinton, speaking to Michigan voters:

These nearly 2.5 million voters [in MI & FL] are in danger of being shut out of our democratic process. I think it’s wrong and frankly, I think it’s un-American.

I will protect and cherish the right to vote. I will always defend your right to vote no matter whom you choose to vote for.

So, if both those states had voted for Obama and the polls showed they still leaned toward him, she would still be demanding their votes be counted?

Please. We’re not stupid. If there is one thing that Hillary has demonstrated beyond any doubt whatsoever in this campaign, it is that she is willing to do just about anything to win the nomination. Her campaign has already announced on several occasions that states which vote for Obama “don’t count,” she stressed that superdelegates should vote for her even if it overturned the popular vote, and there have been repeated hints that she is geared up to try to flip pledged Obama delegates–delegates who represent people who voted for Obama–to switch to her side instead, effectively negating the votes of hundreds of thousands of people across the country.

You can bet your entire bank account on the fact that she’d be trashing the process if it didn’t benefit her. Are the people of Michigan and Florida aware of this fact?

    I think Obama would be the best choice for the democratic nomination,
    there is no un-democratic about which politician voters like most.

    Btw,I like your blog, always nice to see blogs from Japan.
