Hillary Clinton's Words: Today's Outrage
From today's Wall St. Journal:
Sen. Clinton yesterday held a rally in Detroit, warning, "If the
Democrats send the message that we don't care about your votes, I'm
sure John McCain and the Republicans would be happy to have them."

Can we include their state party delegations on a list of people who are so short-sighted that they didn't realize that the ORIGINAL campaign calendar would give them a significant, prominent role in deciding this election? If they want to hold caucuses or state party conventions, I'm all for it. Otherwise, let the original decision stand and let the Democratic Nominee figure out how to communicate their importance to voters in Michigan and Florida.

Hey, Hillary -- that goes both ways. Since you are the big republican vote-getter, maybe you should take a hint and OVERTLY change parties! This scortched-earth policy you have is more of a republican kinda thing anyway.
She actually told Michigan Democrats to vote for McCain if their primary votes don't count, even though she voiced NO OBJECTION to (in fact agreed with) the DNC decision when it was made!
Is she JUST a hypocrite? Or is she a hypocritical, narcissistic weasel?
Hard to say...

Hillary Clinton isn't the big republican vote getter, Obama is by a 3-1 margin.

That used to be true, but since the Republican nomination was decided, Clinton has been getting by far the bigger part of the Republican crossover vote. This shift provided her popular-vote margin in Texas, and kept her competitive (almost) in Mississippi.
Now we can argue whether most of this sudden surge of Clinton crossover support is sincere, or whether it is mainly Limbaugh-inspired mischief. If we could tell for sure the age-and-gender breakdown of these voters, we might be able to say.

"If the Democrats send the message that we don't care about your votes, I'm sure John McCain and the Republicans would be happy to have them."
Isn't that the precise message Clinton campaign officials have repeatedly sent in denigrating the rolls of the "small" and "red" states in the democratic nomination process?

Hillary, Obama, and the other Dems all SIGNED a PLEDGE agreeing NOT to participate in the FLA and MI primaries.
Obama honored his pledge. Why didn't/won't Hillary honor hers?

HRC's strategy:
-Sabotage Obama so McCain wins
-Drag out the race
-After loss, give half hearted endorsement but make no effort to heal the party or encourage her supporters to back Obama
-Run again in 2012 on the "I told you so" platform
-Few Dems would be crazy enough to run against her and her army of swiftboaters
I tihnk she's doing well in destroying the DNC

Hillary Clinton: Not an empty suit! Nope, she's full to bursting with bile and sour grapes!

Lets see. Hmmm..McCain and I have crossed the CIC threshold. Obama has not.
These are Hillary's comments.
Now it's MI and FL voters should vote for McCain if we dont get a revote?
WTF? Where the hell is Howard Dean and the top Dem delegation. She's actively blowing up the party! Is someone going to stop her? Or are they just going to stand by and watch as our party gets torn to shreds by this supposed "democratic" candidate?
