First, Michigan and Florida decided to move up their primary dates against the rules set forth by the DNC, and it was AGREED upon by ALL candidates, including Hillary Rodham Clinton, a YEAR before the primaries that Florida and Michigan's votes WOULD NOT COUNT. They ALL agreed upon this fact, so much so as to where Hillary's name was the only name on the ballot in Michigan, because the others knew well in advance that the votes wouldn't count. This wasn't done on a whim, it was decided upon well in advance that Michigan and Florida would be sanctioned. Michigan and Florida played a gamble, tried to force the issue so they could claim some glory, and it backfired. The DNC wasn't out to get Hillary, it was something all agreed upon....

Hillary was all in agreement with this UNTIL she started losing...when it was clear that she wasn't going to win the nomination, then it became so important to her that Michigan and Florida be counted, Michigan counted AS IS where her name was the only name on the ballot. How fair is that to try and change the game mid-stream? If either candidate had protested the sanctions when they were first handed down I might agree with you, but they didn't. They AGREED to them, and then the only reason Hillary wanted them counted is because she ended up on the losing end.

I don't want to turn this board into a political one, but I disagree that Hillary was screwed. She ran a piss-poor campaign, she ran out of money (how do you account for that) and she lost the vote. Nobody took it from her, she lost. She figured she'd have things sewn up by Super Tuesday and didn't plan for anything after that, and it did turn into a race and she lost.

But please don't come here telling me I'm wrong....
