Did anyone else notice at the hearings the Clinton camp kept calling Obama's name omittion a "failed strategy"? They unknowingly admitted Clinton flat-out lied and nobody picked up on it.
ALL PARTIES AGREED before hand that FL and MI weren't going to count. For this reason all parties agreed not to even campaign there.
So what in the heck are they talking about? Failed strategy? Oh, wait a minute. I think I got it. While Hillary Clinton was pretending to accept, endorse and go along with the DNC decision she was secretly strategizing.
Hillary Clinton was questioned as to why she kept her name on the Michigan ballot.
"It's clear, this election they're having is not going to count for anything, But I just personally did not want to set up a situation where the Republicans are going to be campaigning between now and whenever, and then after the nomination, we have to go in and repair the damage to be ready to win Michigan in 2008."
OK, that's reasonable. She understands Michigan does not count but she's keeping her name on because, she's the favorite to win, and she doesn't want the Republicans to use it against her.
Low and behold SHE is this hypothetical Republican using it against the democratic winner, in this case, Obama. Low and behold her explanation was completely false.
Obama, Edwards, Biden and Richardson did NOT have a failed strategy. They had no strategy at all since they were keeping with the spirit of their agreement and the DNC rules. Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, just admitted it was a strategy all along. And a pretty slimy one at that.
