Robbing Delegates, Playing Dirty

Just read this:

Sen. Hillary Clinton, in an about-face, said on Friday she wants the Democratic Party delegates in two states that were barred by the national party to be reinstated and counted in the race to determine the party's U.S. presidential nominee.

In those states, Michigan and Florida, Clinton could stake claim to nearly all the delegates to the nominating convention in question -- more than 350.

With the Florida primary coming up, Hillary has gone all-out to rip victory out of Obama's hands. And she has gone to tricks to get out front. Barack, unsurprisingly, was not at all happy. A spokesperson for Obama had this to say:

"Whether it is Barack Obama's record, her position on Social Security, or even the meaning of the Florida primary, it seems like Hillary Clinton will do or say anything to win an election."

Clinton's statements, in an attempt to justify her blatant rule-breaking, were absurd.

"I think it's important we send a message to the people of Michigan and Florida that Democrats care about their lives and their futures, and I will certainly do everything I can to be a good president for them," she said.

That is not the point: the point is that your opponents did not campaign in Michigan and Florida because you agreed that these states should not have jumped the line.

But now, Hillary, all's fair in love and war. Or something like that.
