Comments on Why Did Hillary Not Do The Same As Obama And Edwards?
obama and edwards are pandering to those states who vote before michigan,
oh…so she didnt bow to the party bosses…well I applaud that..BTW she’s the only one talking specific issues…the men make broad generalizations!
She could care less about anyone but herself. She ran because she new she couldn’t lose with the other two gone.
I love the fact that undecided be Kucinich by 10 to 1. That is a real ego killer.
edwards and obama wanted to please the voters of iowa and new hampshire, by taking their names off
however, hillary thought that would offend the michiagn voters as she might need their votes in the general election if she gets nomiated
while edwards and obama might get some more votes in new hampshire and iowa, i think they are short-sighted and shot themselves in the foot
hillary has experience and fore sighed
Two reasons. One is because she was ahead and was going to win Michigan. If the other two were ahead they would have stayed in for sure (and if anyone thinks they wouldn’t they’re incredibly naive). Other reason is because in the long run it shows she supports Michigan’s decision to take a stand and try to garner atttention to the economic situation in the state by having an earlier primary. She figures (and probably correctly) that Michigan will care more that she supports their early status request. It does show she supports the people – the Michigan Democrats – more than “the man” (the DNC) putting them down. I don’t know if her intentions were this noble but that is how it will probably come across as. I think Obama and Edwards should have taken a stand with Hillary – and together they could have fought for Michigan.
She actually CARES about the People of Michigan , She knows she can fix the problems with the DNC when she is President.
