in michigan to turn out the vote for uncommitted to shame clinton.....continuing our thread from yesterday

from cnn:

"Even so, roughly 70 percent of Michigan’s African-American voters — a group that makes up a quarter of Michigan’s Democratic electorate — did not cast their votes for Clinton, choosing the “uncommitted” option instead. Yet these voters weren’t uncommitted at all: in fact, according to CNN exit polls, they overwhelmingly favored Barack Obama, whose name did not appear on the ballot."

Shame Clinton? WTF are you talking about? Obama was not on the ballot, and people who did not want to vote for Clinton voted "uncommitted." Where's the misunderstanding?

You're grasping at straws, but that's what you do.

Quit your Whining already - She lost because she ran a shitty campaign and voted for the war!

Move on!

"The Obama and Edwards campaigns apparently got the word out pretty well to their supporters to vote uncommitted," said Vincent Hutchings, an associate professor in the political science department at the University of Michigan. "There's some thought that at some point they might reverse the decision to strip the delegates of their authority, and if they do, then Edwards and Obama wanted to have the opportunity to have those delegates vote for them at the convention, which they can do if they're uncommitted, but not if they write their names in. By state law, if the names were written in, then they wouldn't be counted."

i never ever knew it was the black community in michigan that was behind this turnout for uncommitted .....but it was

im proving a point from a thread yesterday

sry if you dont like it

Of COURSE there was an effort to inform voters that they could vote "uncommitted" if their candidate's name wasn't on the ballot! It wasn't to "shame" Clinton, it was to get an accurate read on voter turnout for Obama. Duh....

hahahahahahaha

just how gullible are you anyway?????

hahahahahahaha

again

So, no one but Hillary supporters should have voted? Or, everyone should have just voted for Hillary? Which is it?

"whining and gnashing of teeth"

So long as you continue to post, we're assured of it.

when you come in late to a conversation i can see where you might be confused

yesterday i was told i was crazy and a liar because i said there was a concerted effort by bo supporters to vote uncommitted in the michigan primary to shame clinton....you know....say they would rather vote for NOBODY rather than hillary

today.....i have proved there was a concerted effort

and that edwards was in on it too

and that the black community in michigan were the instigators

i am proving a point and that was it.....im not saying anyone should or should not have voted for hillary.....pay attention

You haven't proved anything. Clinton left herself on the ticket and her opponents (remember, this was a race) encouraged their supporters to vote against their opponent. Had they been given the option to vote for their chosen candidate, they would have. Uncommitted was their option, so they chose it. What's the problem--beside the fact that you didn't like the outcome?
