Obama surrogates: get your butts on tv and battle the misperception about MI and FL
It's important to communicate the facts about the MI and FL primaries, the so-called "popular vote" and how you intend to defend Obama's nomination.
It's unfortunate that you have to do this, but it's necessary. Even if you're confident that the superdelegates will side with you.
It will be harder to unite voters if most of them have the misperception that Obama is the one who's stealing the election from Hillary.

Unfortunately, most of Hillary's supporters watch Faux News, only understand sound bytes and can't do math....logic smacks its head against willful ignorance!

Obamagirl68, I think plenty of Sen. Clinton supporters watch CNN and MSNBC. And I think they're very intelligent supporters. Many are thought leaders in our culture and their industries.
My point is that repetitive propaganda not equitably countered with truth is dangerous.
Obama surrogates have succesfully countered misperceptions throughout the entire Presidential campaign.
Why stop now?

The NYT says that Florida voters are angry at Obama because of the delegate problem! Now how did they get the idea it was his fault? Will Clinton help heal the party by being honest here?
