Re: Something that baffles me, regarding Michigan (none / 0)

Thank you for at least being honest. You're saying that Obama did support people voting undecided in the Michigan Primary? Good. A simple Google (or use whatever search engine you like) will readily come up with Obama discussing the issue. I'm not anyone's librarian, to those asking for links. Your all CAPS response as to why Clinton left her name (as did Kucinich, etc.) was really off base, however. Google why she said, way before Michigan voted in their "meaningless" election, she was keeping her name on the ballot. It's a pretty laudable reason if you ask me, and others have agreed. I'm sorry if it annoys a few Obama supporters, but if there is going to be unity and cooperation amongst Democrats, Obama supporters have got to stop denying that they are still running an active campaign as well. Both campaigns did some gnarly things. This effort of especiallycriticizing Clinton is just patronizing. I think there has been an issue associated with that particular attitude. And Obama's planned stop in Iowa before voting in the primaries has completed is going to go down badly.

Re: Something that baffles me, regarding Michigan (none / 0)

No, you know what - it's as simple as this:

If you are counting Michigan in any argument concerning popular vote or concerning the "will of the people" or whatever, and you're giving 0 votes to Obama (not even the uncommited ones), then you're simply not worth talking to.

As such the entire Clinton campaign and all their hardcore fans on the Internet, have officially stopped being worth talking to, as they're all claiming she's the popular vote winner.

There's no further point discussing people as fundamentally dishonest with that -- my discussion of pledges and rules, and the very meaning of democracy is meaningless and wasted. Not with people who are counting Michigan in a popular vote tally and are giving 0 votes to Obama.

So this is the end: From now on, I won't be attempting to discuss with you, I'll just be mocking you. You people don't deserve anything better.
