Poll question: Could YOU be convinced of Hillary Math??
Edited on Sun May-18-08 01:29 PM by Labors of Hercules
With all the Hillbloggers hitting the internets, is there any way they could convince YOU that:

1) The popular vote should determine the nominee

AND...

2) The popular vote should include all of Hillary's votes in Fl and Mi, and no Mi votes for Obama (since he didn't ignore the agreement and stay on the ballot like Hillary did)

AND...

3) Caucuses are unfair, so none of those states should count in the popular vote??

1. You can't change the rules in the middle of the football game.

2. Is moving the goalposts the same as changing the rules?
because I swear I saw one of them has just been relocated to Ecuador. :rofl:

3. Just like you really shouldn't be giving retroactive immunity from laws.
This stuff really really makes me wary about Hillary. We have seen too many incidences where Bush doesn't respect the laws, and I worry that Hillary shows the same propensity.

Remember the billing records?

13. Same here, dkf. Same here.
I get the funny feeling she'd keep things like signing statements and renditions.

4. You do understand that 'the popular vote' excludes caucus states
where Obama won and won big but have no popular vote? Clinton is engaged in truly massive bullshit. She is a brilliant person, she knows full well that her popular vote claim is simply crap. So she is trying to fool somebody, but who? It is pretty unlikely that the SDs are stupid enough to buy this bridge. Does she think her supporters are this stupid?

9. Absolutely.
Granted it would require a frontal lobotomy and an IV of powerful pharmaceuticals, but I could be convinced.

12. I am convinced that the majority of voters voted for Hillary Clinton.
I am convinced that the majority of voters voted for Al Gore.
