I heard that interview too. I couldn't believe the audacity . . .
All she did was acknowledge her understanding of the DNC ruling at that particular time, and she want on to say that we couldn't just abandon Michigan. Rules, except for 20C, were used in stripping Michigan of its delegates, and rules are being used now to get them reinstated.
As to popular vote totals, it is indeed unfortunate for Obama that he chose to remove himself from the ballot. Howard Dean has acknowledged that the raw vote totals count and have always counted. The DNC had no authority to strip the popular vote totals from the certified elections in MI/FL.
If Obama removing himself from the Michigan ballot could be used to nullify the results of that election, then I suppose Hillary could have pulled herself off the ballot in Illinos - and then we'll throw out all those votes.
"it is indeed unfortunate for Obama that he chose to remove himself from the ballot."
And, sharing in the spirit of your non-condescendingly conciliatory tone, I would like to reach across her supporters and say that it is indeed unfortunate that we are being subjected to such transparently specious contrivances as 'popular vote' totals which are sold as if they were real while they barely work in Hillary's favor when they are cooked, bent, scrambled, twisted, and doctored.
Unfortunate indeed.
For blatant dishonesty, Hillary Clinton-like spin and disingenuousness.
You know damn well that Barack Obama did not remove his name from the ballot in order to render the results of MI invalid you liar. If he had not removed his name he likley would have gotten about 50% of the vote.
removed his name for that purpose, but apparently his supporters feel that it was the effect is.
