BIG NEWS OUT OF MICHIGAN

[Fabio]

Edwards hasnt won an election in four years, when he lost 49 as well

[Renew Deal]

1. Edwards hasn't won an election in 10 years.

SC was a presidential primary.

[sandnsea]

2. Are you saying Hillary won Michigan?

I would hope not.

And if you think you want Edwards out to help Obama, I don't think you do.

[Skip Intro]

3. Well, she did win Michigan. She was deemed the winner.

That is a fact.

It's what happened.

[William769]

5. It's the classic whine.

[Catch22Dem]

HAHAHAHA

Yeah, that's what happened.:eyeroll:

[still_one]

7. Please tell me How many delegates did she get from Michigan?

[William769]

8. The same as everyone else.

What was the psychological effect of this? Huge!

[still_one]

14. ZERO delegates. Who else was on the ballot against her? /nt

[William769]

19. Kucinich, Gravel and uncommited.

[BenDavid]

29. still got more votes then uc, and all others......Means she will

win Michigan in the general

[SlowDownFast]

33. 20% voter turnout. Dems stayed home. Doesn't mean shit.

[Skip Intro]

9. we'll see...

[still_one]

16. So does that imply that Hillary is above the Democratic rules? /nt

[Skip Intro]

24. not at all

she's someone who deals with reality

Obama and Edwards had the same choice she had, they could have stayed in

I don't fault her for leaving her name on the ballot

evidently, a majority of Michigan Democratic voters didn't either

[still_one]

28. I didn't fault her for remaining on the ballot. I do fault her for specific issues, but not that

Even though my original post indicated that the Democratic party had a different view, that should not mean there was anything wrong with her remaining on the ballot

I personally don't think it works for or against any of the Democratic candidates

[SlowDownFast]

34. Not a majority. 20% turnout. n/t

[Andy823]

10. Oh yeah

Must have been tough, right? :sarcasm:

[Skip Intro]

30. a fact's a fact

don't know how else to say it

[SlowDownFast]

32. Doesn't mean shit.

Hitlery's win was by default and by cheat (broke DNC rules).

20% turnout.

That's what happened.

Doesn't mean shit.

That is a fact.

[Fabio]

4. nope

just that Edwards is a proven loser in my book.

[sandnsea]

11. I can understand your position

But 'in my book', it isn't helpful to alienate people you might need in a month or two. Besides, I still think he'd be better than Hillary.

[Fabio]

17. that's fair.

but honestly, as a fairly unbiased observer of this campaign and of DU (I have been here for 5 years every day, but dont post much) i would honestly say that JRE's supporters should probably apply the same logic about once and future allies.

from my POV and mine only, he has alienated me so much that i wouldnt be excited to vote for him, wouldnt write a check, wouldnt volunteer, but yes....would show up at the polls.

[sandnsea]

21. I feel that way about Hillary

I'm not thrilled about some political calculations I believe Edwards has made. But when I compare that to the odiousness of the Clintons, there is simply no comparison. The law suit in LV, the racial stuff, fundraising, corrupt business associates, China and India policies, nope, Hillary has got nothing to offer me. And every time I try to give her another chance, her campaign does some outlandish thing like claiming this victory in Michigan.

And I have seen you around for many years now. :)

[FlyingSquirrel]

37. As long as you're writing books....

better get a good copyreader to go over your crap

[ZinZen]

18. Spot on!

[Andy823]

12. Clinton claiming a "victory"

In Michigan shows me who the real "loser" is!

[Fabio]

13. I am not an HRC supporter, nor Obama

so this sort of slides off my back.

[sandnsea]

15. Ethics shouldn't slide off anybody's back

Way too much of this stuff is sliding off people's backs. It's what turns people off to politics. Politicians have no right to play these games with OUR election.

[Fabio]

20. ...

dont quite understand your point.

what's the ethics issue here?

[sandnsea]

22. See above n/t

[tyedyeto]

25. Even though there was an 'election' in Michigan today....

nothing counts. Unless the Democratic suddenly decides to allow the 'winner' of this 'election' to seat delegates at the convention. That could happen, if the party deems it 'necessary'.

Is that ethical?

[William769]

6. Heres a dollar

Go drown your fucking sorrows in a bottle of beer.

[Usrename]

23. Was Edwards even on the ballot?

How can you lose a race that you're not even in?

[liskddksil]

26. Wow very classy post

They must be really getting nervous now.

[autorank]

27. Are you a supporter of the guy who wants to attack Pakistan?

[Spiffarino]

31. Hillary comes in FIRST!

Beats "Uncommitted" by 15%!

</yawn>

[SlowDownFast]

35. With 20% turnout.

Sorry, I have to repeat that for those who think the Michigan Dem primary meant anything at all.

[PresidentObama]

36. BIG NEWS OUT OF MICHIGAN: Edwards wasn't on the ballot!

[Spiffarino]

38. BIG NEWS UPDATE: Neither was Barack!

:shrug:
