Clinton on Michigan Re-Vote: What's Obama "Afraid Of?"

(CBS)
From CBS News' Fernando Suarez:

TERRE HAUTE, IND. -- During her first campaign visit to Indiana, Hillary Clinton called on Barack Obama to support a re-vote in Michigan saying, “It is critical that we figure out a way for the people of Michigan and Florida to have their votes and their voices count.”

“I do not understand what Senator Obama is afraid of, but it is going to hurt our party and our chances in November. So I would call on him, once again, to join me in giving the people of Florida and Michigan the chance to be counted as we move forward in this nominating process,” added Clinton.

Clinton’s visit to the Saratoga Restaurant in the business district of Terre Haute, drew hundreds of spectators unable to enter the small restaurant and braved the cold to get a glimpse of the candidate. Her trip here comes more than a month before the state’s May 6 primary, but with the nomination in flux, every vote and every delegate is going to matter.

“It's important that we try to get as many people here to participate in this important primary election,” said Clinton. “And that’s why it is critical that we figure out a way for the people of Michigan and Florida to have their votes and their voices count.”

Clinton, who supports proposals to re-do the primary in Michigan, told reporters during a press conference outside a local eatery, that the only person holding up the re-vote is Obama.

“For the life of me, I don’t understand why Senator Obama seems to be afraid of letting there be a re-vote in Michigan, you’ll have to ask him. He comes up with all these legalistic answers, the people of Michigan and their legislature made it very clear that they would proceed with a re-vote, unfortunately, Senator Obama’s campaign said no. Two out of the three of us said yes, you’ll have to ask him what he’s afraid of?”

Clinton was also asked about her opinions on NAFTA during her husband's presidency, in light of the release thousands of documents from her days as First Lady. Clinton, who has been under fire for potentially flip-flopping on her views on NAFTA, defended her criticism of NAFTA, despite reports that she mirrored her husband’s support for it in the 1990s.

“Well, I don’t think that is what you can infer from the release of the schedules. I have spoken consistently against NAFTA and the way it has been implemented,” said Clinton. “Now as a candidate for the presidency, I have been very clear about what I would do to renegotiate NAFTA. I have been consistent, unlike Senator Obama who has not been.”

Certainly not of you ''lil woman. Don''t you have something baking in the oven missy. Terrorist need a man to instill fear and respect into them, not an OLD man like McCain, but a real man--not a woMAN mind you. Why should Michigan waste their money and time on a soccer mom''s pipe dream of becoming president?!

I don''t think Obama is afraid. No doubt he understands your games well. As soon as you get your re-votes you would simply push or sue for some other change in rules. We have seen these campaign tactics before, if you can''t win fairly, win any way you can.
As somebody else observed, if you are ready on Day 1, then were where you inin 2007 when you were agreeing to the Michigan and Florida rules?? I have already lost 20 pounds from the Clinton Campaign Spin Class!

I do think that Obama is afraid since he would enter the campaign in Michigan and Florida with more visibility, more money, and more momentum. As he has been saying "to know me is to love me'' as a way to explain why he has been winning in other states. Clinton is taking risk too a re-vote because there is no guarantee that she will win again because people now know more about Obama.

I think that this will look bad for Obama because it sends the message that he does not care about those two states'' voters voice.

As a resident of Michigan I want my Jan vote counted or else I get to vote in a new primary. A 50-50 split is unfair %u2013 it doesn%u2019t reflect the will of the Michigan voters and you can bet, Michigan will not be voting for Obama in the fall.

Yes, what is Obama afraid of? Well, you know, his double talking on Nafta-Rezko-Wright has been exposed and it%u2019s for all to see how he exploits the race card when things don%u2019t go well for him.

Now that he is not the American Idol anymore, the Obama camp is scared witless he will lose big time in Michigan and Florida.

If the press had done their job, we would have known about this other side of Obama earlier and I suspect as time goes on more will be uncovered.

Obama didn''t make up the rules, he followed them, and a four year old can see that Clinton''s sudden interest in voting rights isn''t consistent with her earlier claim that the vote "didn''t count."

Count the votes. We''ve seen division this past week, and Hillary was certainly not the cause. I agree with the person who talked about setting a bad precedent. The only way to get the best president for our country is to allow Florida and Michigan''s voters to be heard.

It may take a woMAN to do certain job(house-cleaning, cooking, grocery-shopping, etc..) but it doesn''t take a woMAN to do a real man''s job. Face it, ''lil Hillary is not qualified to duel with our terrorist enemies donned in an apron and offering them baked brownies. Missy may want to run for president of the sewing club or something.

Wait? you mean to tell me that Michigan and Florida voters are NOt in favor of following the rules set forth by their own party? Wait, let me get this straight.... Florida and Michigan voters are so self-righteous and self centered about their votes not counting because their governor and state party leaders decided not to follow procedure that they are willing to risk the entire election? Riddle me this Michigan (where I am from, now residing in Ohio)... from the outside looking in, you blame Obama because he decided to side with the party to conform to the actual rules? You think he''s afraid? Not that Hillary is using underhanded tactics to ingratiate herself to the voters by insinuating that she had somehow altruistic motives for staying on the ballot? Seriously? (look the words up before you answer).... To me, it looks like backdoor politics as usual. No your primary shouldn''t count because it would make the party look unorganized, fragmented, and as if we don''t even follow our own by-laws to the public at large. Suck it up. Vote your conscience... but please use common sense in the Fall and don''t be so Clintonized that you can''t see the wool being pulled over your eyes.

So is she talking to Indiana voters about Indiana issues or to Michiganders? After reading the Obama campaign''s 6 page answer I understand the issues at stake here. If one takes the time to read we discover the people willing to fund the Michigan re-vote do NOT live or vote in Michigan. They are all Clinton supporters from New Jersey & NY etc

Hillary is desparate for a re-vote but the rules are the rules. They were clear. The Michigan legislators are very afraid of a re-vote for reasons that have nothing to do with Hillary, Billary or Obama. Just the Laws governing Michigan elections.

Yet she spews these sound bites that play the blame game. If Obama went on TV in the next five minutes and said I am for it the Michigan legislators still have to approve it.

She is going to win Penn they believe she can re-open all those closed down factories and bring back the jobs that went overseas but nobody can bring those jobs back.

Also the whole race things really hurt Obama and PA outside of Philly is very very working class white. Not very diverse or cosmopolitan in their thinking. So she has that wrapped up. But watch out for the rest of the primaries coming up.

Including Indiana. Voters are a literate bunch here.

"Obama''s camp had expressed concern with the proposal, and Clinton blamed him for holding up the Michigan revote."

I''m sure Obama is being careful since both he and Hillary agreed in advance not to count Florida or Michigan; now that she is losing she desperately needs both.

Obama is probably looking for any other things that Clinton may (i.e. will )try change the rules on - again... in her favor - again...

It is more complicated in Michigan than Hillary would like anyone to know. First of all the legislature has not decided to re-vote because of State Constitution issues that they think will be questioned after a re-vote would be taken. That would make the state legislators, governor and the Democratic party look even more ridiculous than they already do. As a Michigan citizen and voter I say Michigan''s government made the bed...now they must lie in it. Keep our delegates home. Maybe the next time they decide to do something so stupid they will decide to read the rule book first.

I say split the delegates in both states and then seat them. They get to participate. If Clinton blocks that - which she has been - then that tells you she doesn''t care about MI and FL participating, just how she an try and get MI and FL to be seated to her own benefit. Balls in her court - if she rejects that then it is she rejecting their participation at the convention.

Terrorist3: Can you guys imagine her baking us a batch of cookies if we threaten America; and, can you guys imagine the OLD man may actually be asleep while we are planning to attack. The Americans should call her ''lil Missy and call him geritol-Gramps.

Missy cannot win. She''s a ''lil woman trying to be presidential during a time of war. America cannot win with someone donning an apron and offering terrorist treats from her recipes atop her kitchen stove. Sorry about missy''s lil pipedream about a becomin g a woman president. Try back in 2072. America MAY be ready for a girl by then. Meanwhile, America needs a strong man to face off with terrorist, not an OLD man either McCain supporters, but a real man nevertheless. Obama 2008, where you get a candidate whose not wearing an apron or taking geritol either.

I don''t see how opposing the ruling of the DNC last summer and encouraging Michigan and Florida to protest the consequences of their willful and reckless ambitions helps anyone but her. ONLY US, HILLARY DON%u2019T HAVE TO ABIDE BY THE RULES???? Why set rules if they are not meant to be kept.
The only reason she wants to change the rules is because she is losing%u2026period.
only reason this is even an Issue is because Hillary Clinton is loosing.
Why can''t people follow the rules or take responsibility for their actions.?

We have friends, pastors, teachers and relatives who behave the way they want and say things they want even if we do not support it. I do not think Obama should be punished for some one''s crime.We''ve had pastors who I haven''t agreed with,"But I didn''t stop going to church. Because I''m not going for the pastor, I''m going for my soul." Obama unfairly blamed for what his pastor said. As he said, Our country should show UNITY IN DIVERSITY%u2026.. PLEASE LET%u2019S UNITE%u2026%u2026..OBAMA%u201908

If you pro-Hillary supporters only worked hard at unifying the party instead of dividing the party. After PA. votes maybe ''lil missy can drop out and go home to her kitchen stove.

Clinton is a so same same old. She wants to win by hook or by crook. Hoodwinking wherever it works. Her act is choreographed. Her gestures and words are fake. She is blaming Obama of all the negative rhetoric that her own campaign is pushing. America look again!! HRC is shameless like her Billy boy in the Whitehouse corridors with young interns!!
Filthy rich with connections to filthy rich special interests. America you really want change. Look again at Obama and what he stands for. YOU MUST GO CRAZY FOR OBAMA. Obama is probably the ONLY positive candidate. The ONLY who can give America back to Americans. He can deliver you to you from the clutches of lobbyists and shameless agents of the big Corporate culture that has brought nothing but frustration and helplessness to the people.
GO OBAMA! WE ARE ALL FOR YOU! YOU CAN. YES YOU CAN!

The State Department has confirmed a breach on Sen. Barack Obama''s passport file, his campaign said.

"This is an outrageous breach of security and privacy, even from an administration that has shown little regard for either over the last eight years," said Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton in a statement.

"Our government''s duty is to protect the private information of the American people, not use it for political purposes."

The campaign called for a complete investigation to find out who looked at Obama''s passport file and why. CNN Headlines

The Clintons are back at what they do best.

Obama needs to man up and drop out,..he is tearing the party apart and his horrible judgement is apparent with his relationship to Pastor Wrong,..He can maybe run again in 8 years if he can prove to the American people that he has learned from his mistakes and can grow enough as an individual,...maybe the American people will embrace him again once he comes clean on his racism,...His poor grandmother!! That woman loved him and he threw her under the bus!! If Obama really wanted to bring people together he would have run as a Mullatto and not denied his white ancestry. Beg for forgiveness Obama!! True Christians will pray for you to find enlightenment.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has moved into a significant lead over Barack Obama among Democratic voters, according to a new Gallup poll.

The March 14-18 national survey of 1,209 Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters gave Clinton, a New York senator, a 49 percent to 42 percent edge over Obama, an Illinois senator

Let me explain my exact situation and why a re vote in Michigan is totally unfair.

Besides the obvious part of changing the rules I am an independent who is for Obama but when he wasn''t on the ballot I decided to vote for McCain because he was the only republican.

Now if their is a re vote because I voted in the Republican primary I can''t vote in the Dem Primary for my guy.

What a crock. I can''t believe that he is actually going to let a re vote happen.

Totally unfair. You can''t change the rules when the game is almost over.
