  Shapiro, you are such a man...

  Anyone with a brain knows Obama didn't put his name on the Michigan ballot because he was way behind in Michigan at the time. Now he wants a 69/59 split...oh that's nice. (he is losing to McCain there today -- while Clinton beats him there and in Florida and Ohio -- all states Obama is losing to McCain as of today...www.electoral-vote.com)

  What I can't understand is why not do it...count all Florida and Michigan popular vote and delegates the way they voted...Obama still wins...so what is the problem? It counts all votes, makes Clinton supporters happy -- the results are not a "farce" or disenfranchising two states Obama needs in November...and he still comes out ahead. What is the problem? Everyone ends up happy and Clinton cannot say that votes weren't counted...she will have to say that it is fair and all will calm down.

  Also, another weird thing to me is, Obama has won, all of his supporters and his campaign say it and so does everyone else. Clinton knows it and we all know she knows it...so let people vote for a few more weeks and let her finish. You want to stop the first female candidate to ever have such prominence in the political arena from fighting a truly difficult campaign, making it this far with roughly half the democratic support in the friggin' country from finishing the last six primaries? "Dignity" is finishing the course and letting her supporters speak...you, Shapiro, well...

  Shapiro, you are such a man.
