Official Clinton website laying groundwork to contest delegates everywhere

High-minded ideals intended to make sure everyone's vote counts in November? I don't think so. They're planning to contest every delegate everywhere and pull off a Bush 2000. For more analysis on this (including how they can possibly do it) see this thread:

6. What does that have to do with the issue we are discussing?
Or are you just spamming the board as usual?

8. Hillary speaks for me!
Barack Obama is unfit to hold the office of president.
He should be ashamed of his conduct!

17. Click Properties on both their buttons. Hers was created 3/5, his was 3/7
Obviously he has to counter her. Just as obviously she had no apparent interest in "voters' rights" till the day after Ohio.

16. Obama's went up 2 days after Hillary's. He is attempting to counter hers.
Edited on Fri Mar-07-08 08:11 PM by FlyingSquirrel
Right-click both of their buttons and choose Properties.

You'll see that hers was created on 3/5/08 and his was created on 3/7/08.

If she's going to contest the delegates, of course he has no choice but to follow suit. It's clear who started it, however.

:grr:

10. HRC's staff denied going after Obama's pledged delegates last month:
But now it's THIS month:

From http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/02/dems-debate-poa.html :

February 19, 2008 1:11 PM ABC News' Teddy Davis, Eloise Harper, and Mike Elmore Report:

Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson said Tuesday that Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., will not go after Sen. Barack Obama's, D-Ill., pledged delegates after an unnamed Clinton official told Politico that both campaigns would pursue such a course if there is a "stalemate" between Clinton and Obama going into this summer's Democratic convention. "We issued a very Shermanesque statement earlier today," said Wolfson on a conference call with reporters. "We have not, are not, and will not pursue the pledged delegates of Barack Obama. We think Sen. Obama's campaign owes you all a clear answer as to whether they will pursue our pledged delegates."

Asked if Obama would vow not to go after Clinton's pledged delegates, Obama spokesman Bill Burton told ABC News, "We're not going to do that. My question is: 'Why didn't they deny this yesterday?' It fits a pattern of their willingness to say or do anything to win the nomination." The Democratic campaigns debated the poaching of pledged delegates on Tuesday because a high-ranking Clinton official told Politico that as we get closer to the Democratic convention, "if it is a stalemate, everybody will be going after everybody's delegates." Politico also had Clinton spokesman Phil Singer saying he assumes the Obama campaign is going after delegates pledged to Clinton.

"They have total discretion. Pledged delegates are not bound, so they can change their mind as many times as they want," a senior Clinton adviser told ABC News last week...."

11. Give. Me. A. Break!!!!!
Where was she four years ago????? And, for that matter where were both Bill and Hillary when we lived through the Florida debacle in 2000. Go away, Hillary. Go...Far, Far away and don't come back again EVER!

She has made me so angry, I can't fathom voting for her EVER! I will have to gather all my strength to do this dirty deed should she become our Democratic nominee. And, then I will never respect myself again because I will have sacrificed all of my core principles for this woman!

22. Ok I did.
And noted at the bottom of the site:

Paid for by Hillary Clinton for President Contact Us | Privacy Policy
Hillary Clinton for President is not responsible for the content of any external websites.

----

How interesting, a site that appears by the name of it to be neutral, but is actually paid for by her campaign.

23. You know what else is interesting?
I discovered that domain and called her campaign about it three days before the site went live. They had "no idea" what I was talking about.

I had no reason to doubt them, as far as I know. So I took them at their word.

24. Thanks to blogslut for (inadvertently?) making my point...
posting this link

http://delegatehub.com/

A seemingly neutral website by the name of it, till you see the following line in small letters at the bottom:

Paid for by Hillary Clinton for President
