2025 Does Not Include MI & FL.
When all these discussions of how HRC can reach 2025, I constantly see people jumping in to say "Well, with MI/FL...". Actually, if you add MI & FL back in the mix, the delegate requirement goes up. MI&FL were agreed on by all candidates to be invalid, before this all got underway. Therefore their totals were removed.

If you didn't know this - now you do... But for those that do, why do you keep glossing over this fact? And in reality, once MI & FL re-vote... HRCs net is likely to be a wash again, just like last tuesday. So what now?

1. So what is the advantage of including the states now? Besides

the voters feelings. If you have a bigger hurdle to go over it would seem to equal out to what it is now, without FL and MI.

3. Her trying to make a play that Obama's camp was somehow trying to
aide in disenfranchising the voters (St. Hillary to the rescue). And her hope that she could have had them seated as is. After all, she's already claimed victory - in michigan no less :rofl:

4. The candidates did not agree MI & FL were "invalid."
It was the DNC, not the candidates, that ruled the delegates would not be seated. The candidates did not make any agreement on this. The candidates only agreed not to campaign in those states. Yet more false information by the Obamaites. Obama doesn't want a re-vote in MI or FL because he will lose and that will show the superdelegates he can't win in the large states.

5. Wrong Bama
Too bad so sad for YOU that someone on here can smack down the lies that you and your candidate Hillary Clinton spew daily. Obama will WIN Michigan if they have a re-do primary or caucus. Why? Because JJ won it in 1988 and Obama is 20 times the candidate as JJ was.

Michigan belongs to Obama. The huge AA population in Michigan helps him out.

7. You are wrong.
Dodd, Kucinich, Gravel and Clinton were all on the ballot. Nice try.

8. Obama took his name off because he knew he couldn't win.
There is not a large state in the country that has voted for him except his sympathy vote in Illinois.
