Straighten out this fact: Why did she not take this position in the very beginning instead of endorsing what the DNC was doing and agreeing to not campaign?

Her road sounds so lofty and noble--until you realize she was on a different road until there was a serious challenge to her "heir apparent" bid for the WH.

So why the concern now--and why did she keep her name on the ballot in Michigan after she knew all other candidates withdrew theirs?

Obama ran tv ads in Florida, because after Michigan, everyone knew what Hilary was up to--she hoped to get bids by default and by lying about what she had agreed to and why. Hilary is obvious--when your candidate is a craven jerk--don''t be like the neo cons and do knee jerk defense to save her--admit it--she''s a liar and a jerk--you might still support her and love her--but at least don''t pretend she is honorable or kept her word--she didn''t. Bush had Bushbots--don''t be the equivalent of that wearing blue.

Is that Hilary in Florida? Breaking another pledge while pretending she didn''t? Why did she agree to not campaign and to the withholding of delegates if she flipped it now, due to her losses? What did she base her earlier pledge on, that endorsing the DNC stance was okay to do in the beginning--but finding ways to sidestep and go around that pledge is the way she wants to operate now.

Just like the bribe to pay us if we voted for her (by giving rebates to us if she was elected: this is too obvious Hilary. Bet it does not bother you or your supporters, that such moves show a lack of integrity and a calculated gamble to do anything to win....Bet you are betting it does not matter to the rest of us either......

It is far from meaningless 1.3 million Fla. Democrats voted and their votes are being disfranchised by the DNC is an outrage, no Dem President can be elected without Fla and Mich. If they are not seated they should vote Republican in Nov. the voters did nothing wrong.

Complain to your state government. The DNC said they''d not count FL and MI if they moved their primaries up and they did it anyway, so they don''t count.

Obama can take his street punk attitude and shove it!

[pam1sadge]

For Obama''s camp to dismiss this as "meaningless" is ignorant on their part. The votes were counted and Hillary won. I think it''s quite significant and only more of the same is to come.

[pam1sadge]

Go Hillary! I think the votes in Florida will mirror upcoming votes in all the major states. I think this is going to be a close race with Hillary prevailing. Again, GO HILLARY.

The Florida Democratic Beauty contest was meaningless...

The lack of delegates to win has its own relevance. However, it IS a good story that, inspite of no delegates, Hillary still got more votes than anybody, dem or ''pub.

You rush fans crack me up, taking his comedy routines seriously...

All that would accomplish is to split the Dem vote and assure a win for a Rep President.

Obama did however air TV ads, which is in fact, considered campaigning. Get your facts straight. She is also pointing out the fact that it is exceptionally unconstitutional that American citizens were stripped of their RIGHT to vote in this election. How could anyone possibly declare themselves the winner of this election, when ALL of the votes have not been counted?! Her integrity is not in question, but yours is...

First, the ads from Obama were done on a national television. He has NO control on which states may pick up these broadcasts. If he aired one in Georgia and a satellite owner in Tampa has that Georgia channel, then is he breaking the rules? NO.
The voters were not denied the right to vote. It was the DNC that stripped the votes because Florida went against the rules and regs of the party and wanted to have their primary convention early, unlike those states that decided to FOLLOW THE RULES. But, what can you expect from a state whose voters can''t figure out a simple ballot?
Her integrity? She has none, never has. She''s been running on the crying "I''m a girl, you can''t hit a girl" campaign. Just like Bill, she will say or do anything to gain that power. She reminds me of the Wicked Witch in OZ, trying to get the red slippers.
Oh, yeah, she didn''t campaign in Florida, yeah right. What about the nice little speech when her plane landed, or all the photo ops?

The Florida Democratic Beauty contest was meaningless, especially since none of the candidates got to campaign there and no delegates were awarded. Hillary, is such a phony, pandering for some good press....
