Clinton thanks PA and plugs FL
Another Hillary Clinton comeback, another round of fresh calls for Florida and Michigan delegates. Here's an excerpt of her interview this morning with ABC's Diane Sawyer.
Sawyer: "Let's address the hard reality of the numbers this morning because as we know if you exclude Florida and Michigan -- and they are excluded right now in the popular vote -- Sen. Obama is ahead some 500,000 votes, in the pledged delegates ahead 151. This morning will you say whoever wins the popular vote should be the nominee of the Democratic party?''
Clinton: "Well I think that's one of the most important factors that people have to take into account but of course the votes in Michigan and Florida were official. I mean they were certified by the Secretary of State. It's just that the Democratic party can't figure out what to do with all those votes and try to seat delegates from Michigan and Florida. Because if you include Florida and Michigan, then the popular vote is very close and in fact I actually have more votes from people who actually voted for me. These are some of the factors people that have to take into account as they try to make their decision going forward."
Interpretations of this statement are encouraged.
She's right... count the votes in FL and MI. Who would want a President that would chose to disenfranchise the voters in two of our nations largest states? Obama wants to win at all costs (meaning, handing the election to McSame.) Well, I say count my vote and all of the others that went to the polls on Jan. 29th... Otherwise it is a rip-off nomination!
