The squable over Michigan’s re-vote

Hillary Clinton turning her attention away from Pennsylvania today to make appearances in Michigan and her campaign is taking issue with Barack Obama’s seeming reluctance to particpate in a primary re-vote.
“So why is the Obama campaign refusing to give the people of Michigan the chance to exercise their fundamental right to vote?,” the Clinton campaign said in a memo to reporters today.
Clinton’s ire was largely based on a Detroit Free Press article article yesterday in which Obama supporters expressed skepticism about plans for a new Michigan primary to be held June 3.
The Obama campaign has accused the Clinton campaign of “cynically trying to change the rules,” by supporting the new primary.

Didn’t everyone, including Clinton and Obama agree that both Michigan and Florida wouldn’t count?
Didn’t Clinton pledge not to campaign in Michigan? What is she doing today? Campaining in Michigan
Again the liars that are the Clintons change rules continually and lie continually.
While much of Ms. Clinton’s logic is lacking, I really, really don’t understand her first claim.
She broke a rule and calls that a choice and condemns Senator Obama for it?
How exactly can this be explained to me in a way that makes sense?
What kind of example does any of this set for our children?
this is base democratic party politics up front and
personal..Hillary is behind in delegates..she will remain
behind but she may be able to get a little closer
if she can win pa, and florida and michigan count
She never thought the race would be this close so she
agreed to the DNC punishment for those two states..now
she is behind and will do just about anything to get
the nomination…here is her thinking…..behind in
delegates she needs to give the super delegates a
rationale for her nomination so she will argue
1. either she has more of the popular vote or
that the race is essentially a tie
2. that the only question is who has a better chance
in the general
3. the caucus states which have given Obama the lead
are not states that democrats win in november..while
the big states that hillary has won ie cal, ny, nj,
oh, and fl are states that dems must win in november
4. finally there is reverend wright..polls are now
showing Hillary doing better against McCain than
Obama..and those polls will continue as the controversy
is magnified….Obama in fact cannot win in November
and that conclusion will be reached by the superdelegates
now I don’t expect them to pull the nomination exactly
but they may broker a deal where he either backs out
or takes the vice presidency…either way the democrats
are imploding..because their system of picking delegates
is like a pass fail college course..no feelings are hurt
and no one wins a big prize…big mistake
