I thought that Hillary did (5.00 / 7) (#13)

a great job pressing the MI and FL issue in this interview.

I had a suggestion that might be listened to by her campaign, it would be to elevate the MI and FL issue immediately to a top level issue for the campaign, pressing on all fronts to get it maximum exposure.

Obama needs to be called out on his ugly phoniness on this issue -- as well as all his abject, moral principle deficient supporters who are more than happy to throw the enfranchisement of millions of voters down a rat hole if it favors their guy.

I'm sure the American people will back up strongly the need to count the vote in MI and FL in whatever fashion might be most fair at this stage.

Let Obama deal with the consequences of being perceived as against allowing the voices of the people to be heard. Let the man try to explain this one away.

Really, it's an issue that cuts right to the heart of the phoniness of campaign and message, and proves him out to be just another politician with no higher goal than getting himself elected.

That's been one of my biggest issues (5.00 / 1) (#24)

With the Clinton team.

I think they've been too shy about some issues because they worry too much about how Clinton will be perceived and portrayed as shrewish in the media.

But the thing is.  Clinton does the nice thing and they still call her shrewish.  The comparisons to Tonya Harding are going to be strewn about by the pathetic fools no matter what she does, so it's best to just do what you feel is right, fight for what you believe in in your heart of hearts, and let the media do what it does.

If anything, the media behaving the way it does only solidifies and hardens her core support.

argued strikes me as pretty important.

Obama supporters like Leahy insist that Hillary drop out so that Obama might remain electable. Yet they turn right around and emphatically reject the idea that electability should be a consideration in selecting our nominee.

Well, if doing the right thing for the Party is supposedly to drop out to make the nominee more electable, why isn't doing the right thing for the Party allowing superdelegates to choose the candidate who is the most electable in the first place?

In short, (none / 0) (#60)

If electability of our nominee is important enough to force someone to drop out of the race, why isn't it important enough to use as a basis for selecting our candidate?

Why the absurd double standard?
