Hillary Clinton’s Damn Dirty Shame of a Campaign
When Michigan and Florida moved their primary elections up before ‘Super Tuesday’ on February 5th, the Democratic Party stripped both of those states of their primary delegates, essentially giving each state zero say in who becomes the party nominee. However, as Hillary Clinton is aware, any victory is a good victory, delegates or no. Even a nominal victory means a little more press, and a little more of that ‘electability’ sentiment.
After Obama, Edwards, and Clinton all pledged not to campaign in either Michigan or Florida, Clinton uncrossed her fingers and did so anyway. She won the most votes in Michigan, and tonight she won the most in Florida.Don’t even get me started on how she baited Obama with her comments about Lyndon Johnson; Clinton is way too smart not to have known that by making claims that minimize the impact of Martin Luther King, Jr., Obama would be forced to respond, or else lose the black vote. In doing so, Clinton sought to brand Obama as a the “black candidate” potentially sending him down the road to an ultimate loss.
For shame Hillary.
