According to Hillary, Barack's not ready for the international stage. Says he doesn't have what it takes to be ready on day one. Ok, neither did Bill Clinton or our currently bumblefuck... doesn't mean he's not capable. However, as one side of her mouth tells us he's not ready for the White House, her behavior indicates she may not be ready for the real election cycle. Incapable of taking a hit and continuing to run at a steady pace without slamming on the brakes to become righteously indignant.
Shame on you Barack Obama. Fer shame, fer shame fer shame. How dare you bring up Hillary's policy and question whether it's been the best approach for the nation? How dare you give her a taste of what'll feel like when the GOP whirling dervishes begin spinning. How audacious of you to assume she could absorb legitimate policy examination during an election cycle without becoming the finger wagging matron from hell? Temper flares like this make the possibility of a McCain/Clinton death match seem like *just* the divisive nightmare needed to further tear this country apart. Keep attacking hope and a desire for cohesion and collaboration. You're the only one still wanting to fight the 1994 Congress.
Now Barack, I want you to pay close attention to Texas. Hillary said to meet her there after she realized Wisconsin was a wash and now she's ready to meet ya in Ohio. Always the forward looking visionary... no sense in dwelling over lost states. However, while appearing focused on Texas and Ohio, it appears some 20/20 regret may be sinking in. She's longing wistfully for the abandoned delegates in Florida and Michigan where she feels she won fair and square.
(via) That’s not the case at all. I signed an agreement not to campaign in Michigan and Florida. Now, the DNC made the determination that they would not seat the delegates, but I was not party to that. I think it’s important for the DNC to ask itself, Is this really in the best interest of our eventual nominee? We do not want to be disenfranchising Michigan and Florida. We have to try to carry both of those states. I’d love to carry Texas, but it’s usually not in the electoral calculation for the Democratic nominee. Florida and Michigan are. Therefore, the people of those two states disregarded adamantly the DNC’s decision that they would not seat the delegates. They came out and voted. If they had been influenced by the DNC, despite the fact that there was very little campaigning, if any, they would have stayed home. But they wanted their voices heard. More than 2 million people came out. I mean, it was record turnout for a primary. Florida, in particular, is sensitive to being disenfranchised because of what happened to them in the last elections. I have said that I would ask my delegates to vote to seat. (h/t Chris)
No sense trying to win by the rules laid out... change em. Better yet, given the current momentum and if, these delegates are so very very important, why don't we just encourage a second vote. Determine officially, if recent momentum in the separate camps are enough to provide the delegates sought and whether the margins remain the same. Moreso in Michigan where Hillary was the only trick pony in the circus. Better yet, get DCCC, DNC & DLC sponsorship to guarantee the candidate coming out of the March 4th primaries with the most aggregate delegates, wins 100% of the delegates uncommitted in both Florida and Michigan.
