"It's clear, this election they're having is not going to count for anything"
This quote needs to be repeated over and over again. What a lying weasel she is.

"Clinton Defends Michigan Ballot Stand

The Associated Press
Thursday, October 11, 2007; 4:21 PM

CONCORD, N.H. -- Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Rodham Clinton said it would be foolish to take her name off Michigan's primary ballot and sacrifice her chances against the Republican nominee.

As the only top tier Democrat remaining on Michigan ballot, Clinton is all but guaranteed to win the state's primary. Michigan is tentatively slated to send 156 delegates to the 2008 Democratic National Convention, but national party officials have threatened to take away those delegates if the state persists in holding its primary on Jan. 15.

"It's clear, this election they're having is not going to count for anything," Clinton said Thursday during an interview on New Hampshire Public Radio's call-in program, "The Exchange." "But I just personally did not want to set up a situation where the Republicans are going to be campaigning between now and whenever, and then after the nomination, we have to go in and repair the damage to be ready to win Michigan in 2008."

Speaking in the first primary state, Clinton said she understands concerns about her refusal. Rivals Barack Obama, John Edwards, Bill Richardson and Joe Biden took their names off Michigan's Jan. 15 primary ballot this week, and Michigan's hope for nominating clout all but evaporated."

6. Here's the YouTube
I don't see how we can be supporting election fraud. The Democratic primaries were not legitimate in those two states and they can never be made right. It is wrong to use them.

7. I started a thread about this over a week ago, and Hillary supporters defended her by claiming
that she only pledged not to campaign there, and what she said in that interview shouldn't "disenfranchise" all the people who cared enough to go out and vote for her anyway. :eyes:
