~Clinton Scores Lonely Victory in Michigan's Hobbled Democratic Primary~

"....Clinton, though she observed the party's ban on active campaigning for the Michigan primary, left her name on the ballot; she was accompanied only by two severe longshots, Ohio Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich and former Alaska Sen. Mike Gravel, and Connecticut Sen. Christopher J. Dodd, whose very poor performance in the campaign-opening Iowa caucuses Jan. 3 caused him to drop out of the race. As a result, voters who might otherwise have preferred to support Obama or Edwards had only the alternative of voting "uncommitted."

Despite these circumstances, Clinton's campaign declared a significant victory. "Tonight Michigan Democrats spoke loudly for a new beginning," Clinton Campaign Manager Patti Solis Doyle said in a statement. She added: "Your voices matter. And as president, Hillary Clinton will not only keep listening, but will make sure your voice is always heard...."

I knew this would happen...

I knew the media machine would sneekily show Michigan to the ignorant masses as another Clinton "victory" in the hopes of increasing her "momentum".

Why does this BULLSHIT continue to be tolerated???

1. Some Victory! Less Than 1% Turnout in the Precinct I Worked

The weather was awful, the schools were in session so there was no parking for voters, there were no candidates on the ballot and the vote wouldn't elect any delegates for the convention anyway!

\This was a Potempkin Election--a total fraud, and the voters knew it. They stayed away in droves.

2. Do you deny that she won?

If you think she "lost", perhaps you can provide documentation indicating so.

Just because the primary was meaningless doesn't change the outcome.

3. You can't win a meaningless contest.

Yes, I deny that she won.

4. Well, then, the problem isn't the media....

5. The problem is the media's selective reporting.

It would be a non-issue if they reported it accurately.

6. The "problem" isn't the media per se, it's Michigan.

But, the media is giving credibility where none is deserved.

And why Clinton didn't remove her name is now obvious.
