Hillary Says No to Michigan - Obama Gets Facts Before Deciding
Hillary is rejecting the new plan by Michigan Dems that would seat the delegation by awarding 69 delegates to Hillary and 59 to Obama.
"This proposal does not honor the 600,000 votes that were cast in Michigan's January primary. Those votes must be counted."
This isn't about 600,000 voters. It's about Hillary Clinton wanting to WIN.
It's not Barack Obama's fault the DNC made these rules.
Voters know it. They aren't dumb.
Michigan and Florida won't be settled till after May 31st. Obama's not signing onto anything till he knows exactly what he has to negotiate with -- he READS the facts before making a decision unlike his opponent.

Terry McAuliffe said the last time around to Michigan that the closest they would come to the convention was their TV set. THis time, Harold Ickes signed off on the sanctions. Sen. Clinton signed a pledge not to participate in Michigan - which SHE BROKE. And now she wants to be rewarded??? It's all about the superdelegates in FL and MI - she wants to include the "voters" of MI and FL to take away what the voters in all the other states combined have said with their votes and hard work! and this coming from a campaign that stated that this would all be over by super-Tuesday, and that this was essentially a 27-state campaign!

Why are they giving her a ten delegate advantage in Michigan anyway?
