Right now she seems to be basing all her hopes on crying foul over these two states.
But if a deal is struck and those delegates are seated in a fair manner then she won't use that argument anymore, basically she will have to admit she can't win.
So is she intentionally blocking deals over those states so that she can keep "playing the MI/FL card"?
Is clinton rejecting Mi/FL compromises because that will defuse her argument?
Yes, I think she's using this for sympathy - to try and rally her supporters. I can't understand how she can keep saying that we have to seat these delegates when she said that they would not be seated. She and Obama and everyone agreed to that.
Those states do not deserve to have their votes count. THE PEOPLE ARE GETTING SCREWED BY THE POLITICIANS IN THEIR STATES. Those politicians decided to go ahead with an early vote because they wanted to influence the momentum of the race. If the DNC allows the delegates to be seated without reapportioning them, they will be REWARDING those politicians for playing dirty.
They were warned. They thought their states were too powerful to have to abide by the rules. Gee, isn't the Dem. party in enough of a mess??? We cannot give in to arm-twisting and power-brokering. THIS WOULD BE IMMORAL and would send the wrong signal. Will we ever break the corruption in politics?? Not if we give in to things like this.
Hillary was all for it before she was losing. She thought she had the nomination in the bag.
This is another example of why I was unable to support Hillary. SHE SIGNED A PLEDGE NOT TO CAMPAIGN IN FL OR MI (SHE DID CAMPAIGN IN FL) and SHE PUT HER NAME ON THOSE STATES' BALLOTS
I feel sorry for the voters - it's not their fault. But they can't revote (they can't afford it and it's unethical for any one side to "buy" the election) and they can't seat the delegates as they stand because a lot of people didn't go to the polls because they were told their votes wouldn't count! Many of the people who would've voted, now cannot vote! Case in point: my mother was dieing of cancer and stayed alive so she could vote AGAINST GWB. This is unfair from so many angles.
Hillary lied to Iowa and New Hampshire:

Reply:Thanks, Craig, for the great question. Report Abuse
Reply:Florida was fair, both had their names on the ballot, neither campaigned, and there was record voter turn out. It should be seated as is. Michigan is more complicated, it can not be done in a fair way. However, since it was Obama's choice to keep his name off the ballot, and that was a judgement call for him (we all know how much importance Obama puts on judgement calls) the most reasonable thing to do is leave MI as it is as well.
I'm sure her reasoning is not devoid of political agenda, but seating them as is makes the most sense, especially in Florida.
Reply:Put it another way. I'd be mad as hell If I were a Dem in MI or Fl and after I took the time to go to the polls the DNC penalized me and disinfranchised me by not counting my vote.!!
Reply:Hmmm...
Doesn't sound like the actions of someone who is supposedly championing the rights of all those disenfranchised voters, does it?
Reply:What a load of BS! Why should she compromise? The only "fair" way is to allocate them as they voted. To exclude them would dienfranchise them. Isn't this unconstitutional?
Reply:wow stfu she would be ahead in the pop vote and delegate count if FL and MI count why shouldn;''t they? Second to all you Obama supporters if he's so great how come he won't allow revotes
Reply:she's MAD, DELUSIONAL AND JUST PLAIN PATHETIC
