But You Promised
Check out this angry editorial from the conservative New Hampshire Union Leader, which chastises Hillary Clinton for dabbling with Florida ... The paper alleges that she violated her pledge not to campaign there because of the state's decision to move up the primary. The Clinton team has pushed in recent days for Florida's delegates to be seated at the convention. And HRC is in Florida tonight to thank voters, according to a campaign release ...
COURTING VOTERS in Iowa and New Hampshire, last August Sen. Hillary Clinton signed a pledge not to "campaign or participate" in the Michigan or Florida Democratic primaries. She participated in both primaries and is campaigning in Florida. Which proves, again, that Hillary Clinton is a liar.
Clinton kept her name on the Michigan ballot when others removed theirs, she campaigned this past weekend in Florida, and she is pushing to seat Michigan and Florida delegates at the Democratic National Convention. The party stripped those states of delegates as punishment for moving up their primary dates.
"I will try to persuade my delegates to seat the delegates from Michigan and Florida," Clinton said last week, after the New Hampshire primaries and Iowa caucuses were safely over.
Clinton coldly and knowingly lied to New Hampshire and Iowa. Her promise was not a vague statement. It was a signed pledge with a clear and unequivocal meaning.
She signed it thinking that keeping the other candidates out of Michigan and Florida was to her advantage, but knowing she would break it if that proved beneficial later on. It did, and she did.
New Hampshire voters, you were played for suckers.
but it was ok for Obama to ad there 1st. BTW this was not an official ed. it was from a reader from the comment section.
sour grapes... NH and IA have too much influence as it is. Obama and Edwards are on the ballot in FL as well, but no complaints about them? Obama ran ads in FL, but no comment there either.
I have no issue with the early states being first, but they shouldn't be so set apart to weed out the rest of the race before it begins.
