Why did Hillary not complain about FL and MI after the decision to strip the delegates was made

[ButterflyBlood]

She didn't start her little crusade to reinstate them until after she "won" Michigan's joke election and Florida was only a week away and it was clear she'd win it. Initial decision by the DNC: Not a peep. Nor any complaining throughout all of 2007.

1. "Ego"

There was your answer, in one word. This primary season was supposed to be a cakewalk for her campaign.

3. She did make a speech telling the voters she would work to have

their votes counted.

I read it here several weeks ago and maybe someone can find the source.

5. You mean this:

NHPR'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"

Ohh I am sorry... this is her saying the opposite of what you are claiming... my bad.

7. To the voters, not the press.

So no, that's not it.

9. So I guess this statement doesn't mean anything..

since it was broadcast on NATIONAL public radio. Hmm??

4. No one thought they'd matter. Dean, Pelosi, Hillary *and* Obama were for seating them.

It is only now, that they actually matter, that Obama has flipped on this issue.

This is irrefutable.

This is fact.

6. Obama has always said to follow the DNC rules, can't see a flip or a flop on this

8. She did. Back in October of 2007 when y'all were bashing her ...

and Dennis Kucinich for not taking their names off the Michigan ballot - - around the same time y'all were bashing Hillary's ardent supporters Sen. Bill Nelson and Rep. Alcee Hastings for their law suit attempting to protect Democrats in Florida.

Hillary said back in October of 2007 that she kept her name on the Michigan ballot because of the importance of Florida and Michigan - - only Obama supporters were so busy falsely claiming she was breaking DNC rules you failed to listen to the truth.
