  Blah blah blah

  Once again, yet another piece in which Hillary Clinton is portrayed as if she were Mike Huckabee. FYI, HIllary has won nearly 18 million votes, more than any other candidate in the history of any primary, and she is behind less than 2% of the delegates. Now, here you go saying "that includes Michigan." Did Michigan citizens not vote? Did Michigan not just get legitimized by the Rules and Bylaws committee?

  It's stunning to me that supporters of ANY candidate would be willing to snatch the votes away from one candidate in order to give them to another under ANY circumstances! How dare the DNC give Obama 4 of her delegates, which were hers because citizens of this country voted for her! How dare they set a precedent in which it is okay to hand delegates to anyone you want, even if that candidate wasn't voted for. I thought I was living in a democracy, but this year, I've learned that democracy is dead in America. And many supporters of Obama seem to be just fine with taking votes away from anyone but their candidate. I wonder how you will feel in 2012, if the "presumptive nominee" is for, say, reinstituting the draft, and your vote is taken away from the non-draft candidate and given to the DNC's choice. What then? Don't you realize the precedent has been set now to do just that?

  PEOPLE AND VOTES ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN RULES.
