Give me a break
Obama voluntarily took his name off the Michigan ballot and told his supporters to vote for "Uncommitted." So did Edwards, Richardson and Biden. That's not Hillary's fault. Are we all supposed to pretend that over 300,000 people didn't vote for her in Michigan? Get real.
I can't believe you're really this stupid.
Obama and Hillary are dead even in Michigan polls. There is no way Hillary would beat him in a true primary to the tune of 55-40, which is how she ran against "Uncommitted" back in January. How does giving Hillary 350,000 raw votes and a handful of delegates in any way reflect the will of the voters? You're trying to tell me that giving her all the delegates and votes in the state versus zero for Obama is "fair"?
The Michigan Democratic Party agreed to give Hillary 69 delegates vs. 59 for Obama. This seems more than fair, since Hillary would net 10 delegates in a state she probably would not even win. Her campaign shot it down though, because Hillary isn't interested in solutions. Hillary is interested in perpetuating the idea that she was cheated according to rules she originally agreed to.
Apparently some folks like you are so stupid or blinded by identity politics that you're willing patsies to this farce.
I hope they actually do seat the MI/FL delegates according to the January vote. Obama would beat her on superdelegates anyway, and it would rob Hillary supporters of their shameless self-pity and persecution complex.
