Hillary Clinton: Please don't ABANDON the Dems in Michigan like Barack Obama did.

Hillary Clinton did not campaign in Michigan. And even though TEH RULES says that no primary shall be held before Super Tuesday, Dean decided to circumvent TEH RULES and allow South Carolina to have it's primary earlier. Florida and Michigan notified everyone when they'd vote, period. TEH RULES should apply to everyone. Barack Obama said to take his name off the michigan ballot (if TEH RULES were so important to him, why'd he leave it on the ballot in Florida? Oh, that's right....he needs to have it both ways. wow. He reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally took a stand there)

So here are the FACTS:

Hillary Clinton probably should have spent more money in red state caucuses. It was sort of foolish for her to not compete that heavily in those open to republican caucuses, where Barack Obama CLEARLY carries the Republican vote. Shit happens.

and

Barack Obama should not have taken his name off of the Michigan ballot. It was a sucker bet, and he got suckered.

It's nice to know that Hillary won't be suckered into turning her back on the good people in the state of Michigan.

And I hope she fights for their delegation. They had their vote, and they made their choice. He's the stupid ass that allowed his name to be taken off the ballot. That's his fault, not hers.
