probably would have left their names on the ballot. Why didn't she do this? It's almost cartoonish in its level of deceit.

1. Because she hoped she would be the only one on the ballot so she could claim the most votes
lo and behold - just like she is doing. It was her "insurance policy"

2. She didn't intend to count the results at the time;
but when she didn't "close the deal" on Super Tuesday and suddenly after 11 straight contests she was behind, she decided that MI should count.

6. Okay, an answer to your REAL question:
She didn't because she's a lying cheat who is dragging the Democratic Party down with her family drama over HER having to be President because her HUSBAND was President. Sort of reminds me of George W. Bush having to be President because his Poppy was President.

9. The only "sign off" was to 4 states - not DNC - that no campaigning - which only Obama broke by
setting up a campaign for "non-committed" after he ran from the ballot because he knew he would lose and wanted to deny her a victory in the media.

10. If that were the case, why didn't she just SAY that she was going to count those votes?

If she insisted and insisted that she wanted them counted BEFORE the voting, it would be different. She didn't.

3. Because they all signed off on MI for it not to count.
If it wasn't this rule it would be another rule she would want broken.

5. Her and most of her supporters didn't give a shit about those votes beforehand.
Now that they need them they're suddenly concern mongers. :eyes:

7. I wish the nomination wasnt over just so obama would go after her on this...
How do you go from "its not going to count" to the opposite in a few months with no shame?

8. Worse, you change your mind *after* the voting has taken place and when it's clear you are losing.
