Let's see. Popular vote, Delegates, Whether to count Michigan and Florida or not to count Michigan and Florida. I'm so confused. Oh I know. I'll ask Hillary. Hillary, what say you on this subject?

It is clear from this video, as well as quoted statements from her surrogates through the process that Hillary knew and agreed that Michigan and Florida were not within the rules and would not count.
He's there to make up for fighting so hard to ignore their vote
.
The same exact vote that Hillary agreed to ignore until she figured out she'd lose without it. He's there because Michigan is an important state in the general
He CHOSE to take his name off the ballot at the last minute for stragic reasons.
He chose to take his name off the ballot because that was what was agreed to. Hillary left hers on for strategic reasons as did a couple others who figured the extra 2% they'd get out of it.
He knew he could only win caucuses because it's not a private ballot
. Good thing North Carolina, Virginia, and South Carolina, and Missouri had Caucuses. He'd have been in big trouble if they were primaries. Oh wait. Oops. They were. By the way, some states run a firehouse caucus for their Presidential vote before the meeting starts. Those are by secret ballot.
He knew he would be beaten in Michigan.
Yeah. She couldn't even get to 56% with the only other viable candidate being uncommitted. But somehow, if they both had actually been on the ballot and campaigned, she'd have definitely beaten him. Whatever you say.
If he was interested in counting all votes he would have stayed on that ballot whether their delegates were seated or not!
Actually if Hillary was interested in counting all votes she'd agree to a firehouse caucus in both Michigan and Florida within the rules. Note that a firehouse caucus is one where people go to the caucus site, cast their ballot, and leave. It's not the meeting type caucus where you have to stay for 3 hours and stand here, there, and everywhere. And my same statement goes for Obama too. Neither candidate, nor the Democratic party in both states should have let it come to this. What about the people that stayed home knowing those votes wouldn't count? I see Hillary doesn't care about disenfranchising them. For all this talk about counting the vote the only votes Hillary wants to count are the votes that benefit her. She has no problem with disenfranchising everyone else.
I assume Edwards is there to make sure Hillary's whooping of Obama in W.Virginia is forgotten.
It already was, Hillary netted 12 pledged delegates out of WV. Obama got 22 supers in just the 4 days before that. . Besides. We have 6 or 7 total thrashings of Hillary far worse to fall back on for bragging rights.
She is the better candidate [/QUOTE]
Better candidates don't go into an elections that are supposed to be mere formalities with all the advantages she had and proceed to fail to blow out their opponents, let alone lose.
Hillary is ahead in the popular vote. I must make a public statement to Obama asking him to drop out!
--Obama supporters, please take notice that Hillary is ahead in the popular vote. Obama did not win anything yet.
A national popular vote doesn't exist in any meaningful form in the primaries. You cannot add total votes in true caucus states, firehouse caucus states, and primary states, and then claim you have anything meaningful. It's like adding 4 apples to 6 oranges and 5 Melons and getting 15 pears.
Ignoring that problem the only "popular vote" she leads in is if one counts Iowa, Maine, Washington, and Nevada as zero for both candidates, and counts the elections of Florida which didn't count and count her votes in Michigan and give him a goose egg in another election that didn't count.
To make such a claim is not on the up and up to say the least.

for your Mom & your family!
