There is a misconception being perpatrated by the Hillary people, over the MI primary, as to why Obama withdrew and Hillary stayed. Now I am offering the FACTS for all to see. Anyone read this pledge and not see how you could keep your name on the ballot, if you had the ability to take it off? It's clear Obama was HONORING his word and Hillary was not.
THEREFORE, I _______________, Democratic Candidate for President, pledge I shall not campaign or participate in any state which schedules a presidential election primary or caucus before Feb. 5, 2008, except for the states of Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire and South Carolina, as “campaigning” is defined by the rules and regulations of the DNC. It does not include activities specifically related to raising campaign resources such as fundraising events or the hiring of fundraising staff.http://www.campaigndiaries.com/2007/09/can-clinton-still-get-edge-out-of.html
