Why wasn't she lobbying for Michigan to count before Super tuesday if she cared so much about hearing everyone's voice?

1. It's just more of Hillary's puke politics. More of the same. More like Bush Jr. n/t

3. Big disappoint for me in this campaign: Hillary playing her supporters for $2 chumps...

...and her supporters falling for it.

I thought the Democrats were more savvy than the Republican voters, that Bush Jr tactics would be seen through by Democrats.

5. All 50 states matter

Do they? I can't recall a single candidate who campaigned (in either a primary or GE) in every state. In truth, there are states that don't matter as evidenced by politicians' unwillingness to expend valuable resources and time there.

6. I pointed this out in another thread earlier this week.

I cannot believe anyone would be gullible enough to accept that this is about "voting rights". It's about her winning. Typical response: "Well would Obama be fighting for MI and FL if he were winning there"? Maybe, but again, it would have *nothing* to do with voting rights since they agreed and knew going into it that MI and FL were not going to be seated. If it were about voting rights, she would have argued for MI and FL back in 07 when the decision was announced.
