Clinton Today
(CBS)
WASHINGTON -- Today, Hillary Clinton returns to Pennsylvania where she'll will campaign a day after making an Iraq policy address here in Washington.
Last night, the Clinton campaign was dealt a blow in their pursuit to gain a competitive edge over Barack Obama’s lead in delegates when Florida Democrats announced they will not hold a primary re-vote. Clinton won the majority of voters in the Sunshine State's January contest, which is not acknowledged in the current delegate count since Florida was stripped of its delegates by the Democratic National Committee when it moved it's primary to January in violation of party rules.
The state of Michigan, which also was punished by the DNC for moving up its primary date, is still making attempts to have their votes counted in the current election.
“Today’s announcement brings us no closer to counting the votes of the nearly 1.7 million people who voted in January. We hope the Obama campaign shares our belief that Florida’s voters must be counted and cannot be disenfranchised,” Clinton campaign deputy communications director Phil Singer said in a written statement.
Clinton and Obama both campaign in Philadelphia today - Clinton will talk about Iraq, Obama will deliver a speech on race in reaction to the controversy over comments his pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, has made.
Both of you are amusing to me. Very easy to spot pissed off 2nd place Hillary supporters.
It''s funny, we all know what Obama is doing today...but I have not heard one word about what Hill is doing finally stepping aside like she should have a long time ago I hope. She''s only hurting the party by her own selfish interests by not doing so.
You are saying that Hillary has no business in this race!!! Who anounced that BO has all delegates necessary to win the nomination by the DNC? I some how missed the memo. I thought the race wasn''t decided yet!!!
What I don''t get is BO supporters talk about how they believe in BO as an agent of change, for the new politics of hope and promise. To rise above the old politics, and yet they espouse division and exclusion totally contrary to what he says he is about, and why you support him. If he is such an agent of change, why can''t he get you and his other supporters to stop with the sexist agist statements that go against his platform of unity???
I think that alot of BO supporters are supporting him because he is saying things that on their face are great. Yet he hasn''t been able to get people to treat each other in this manner. I have not heard him speak out against the media and the things they say about Hillary (while in support of him) that are filled with hate, division & malice! If he is a true agent of change why hasn''t he grabbed this bull by the horns? I can tell you why. It is an attack machine that leaves his hands clean!!! Yet I see it as his hands being dirty because he isn''t living up to his own WORDS of change. Help me to understand that please!!!
