The flag according to Hillary:


It has marked out 27 stars...

26 for states that Obama has...won that Hillary's campaign says "don't count" because they are either "flyover country, caucuses, red states, lower population states, Obama's home state, have open primaries, states with too many black voters...etc"

1 for MI which according to Hillary herself "doesn't count":

NPR's Laura Knoy: "So, if you value the DNC calendar, why not just pull out of Michigan? Why not just say, Hey Michigan, I'm off the ballot?"

Hillary Clinton: "Well, you know, It's clear, this election they're having is not going to count for anything"

It is also missing 6 stripes do to Georgia, South Carolina, Maryland, Virginia, Connecticut, and Delaware no longer counting. You may see a Taylor "never-had-a-radio-show" Marsh created Obama flag... I just wanted to balance that flag by posting this one.

5. I think the stripes should represent the big states
not the colonies

22. I just love it!
When Obama people & my right-wing cousin use the same hilarious images.... It is like they collaborate.

6. Very very nice.
Maybe the next one could just have one big star, for all the states that count, and, I dunno, maybe a sickle to represent the agricultural votes that she wants to count, and a hammer for the union votes that she wants to count?

Put it in gold on a fashionable red background, perhaps?

9. Is she still into the union voting counting?
Funny thing that - especiallyc osnidering tht her man Mark Penn helps out the side of Colombian politics that separates the union leaders' heads from their bodies!

11. No, but it's the kind of thing that gets triggered when she states that
"caucuses are not elections."

etc. etc.

13. and they're not
but that doesn't mean she's ever said that entire states don't count. But it's repeated here every day as a gospel truth - that Clinton has just written off large numbers of states entirely. That's simply not true.

15. That's simply not true..... NOW.
It was going to be over Feb 5th, remember? That means that the rest of the votes, the rest of the states, didn't matter to her THEN.

17. Making political observations and predictions
isn't writing off whole states. You're gathering quotes from a variety of political analysts and trying to make it appear as something very different.

19. And nowhere in there does she say
that any states don't matter. It's a made up charge.

16. Sweetie, HIllary's campaign has definitely implied it
Edited on Tue Apr-08-08 01:13 AM by Cali_Democrat
Talking about how Hillary has won more electoral votes.

Talking about how states that went for Obama won't go for him in the GE

Talking about how only swing states like PA, Ohio, and Florida count and constantly denigrating small states.

Talking about how caucuses are undemocratic. Caucus delegates?

Sorry but Hillary's campaign has denigrated many states.
