"Following the DNC ruling, Senator Clinton, John Edwards and myself signed an agreement not to campaign in Michigan and Florida. As a sign of my commitment to that agreement and, with all of the candidates understanding that the DNC had stripped Michigan of its delegates, I made the decision to withdraw from the ballot."
Agreed this is his statement. Maybe I am dumb, maybe I am part of the majority but to me this is very easily put as I don't care about you. Why remove your name if you know no one will campaign? Clinton was ahead in polling so you figured why show yourself getting smeared? At best it makes him look cowardly and afraid of negative results, to people not as intelligent as you and Smash aka people like me. It means he didnt care about their decsion. If he had the money then he cant even weasel out on finances. It means it was a cognitive deciscion to avoid getting spanked publicly, again at best.
It would have been easier to stay on the ballot then to take your name off of it. Why take your name off of it? Its another gap and a big one, in this man. To me he is inexperienced and has beautiful rhetoric. I watched a MTV special with him and her and some Iraqi vets I was leaning toward her but hadnt decided at this point. He went on first, he was amazing I loved him decided I was going to vote for him. Then she came on and it was a little gruff at first, the vets had liked him it was obvious, but she slowly and with actual plans and facts won them and me over it was the dreamer vs the doer and she won.
A friend of mine from NY told me that it was amazing Gulliani was kicking her ***, clear lead, obviously going to win. But then she went out sat with people and let them hear and understand her, she won the NY senate by convincing people up close and personal that she was not the "***** first lady Clinton" but someone who realized their fears, dreams, goals, and knew how to fufill them. I after that special was convinced. Clinton can do it, Obama has dreams about it.
Sure he may actually do it but 32 teams pick in the first round of the NFL draft, they evaluate brains, speed, talent, gamefilm and then pay these guys inordinate amounts of cash, most of them fail or underachieve. What I am being asked to do here to me is pick this unproven talented, smart, well spoken, plenty of speed, rookie over Brian Urlacher/Ray Lewis to be my middle linebacker. Hell I could be wrong but if the Cardinals for the same money could get Urlacher/Lewis over the 18th pick in the draft I am taking the veteran. I am not sure how else to explain it I am not a genius and can only break it down as it appears to me.
With HRC I get a proven commidity. I get the rockstar as the first gentlemen (sue me if he asked me for sex I would probably do it, I ******* love Bill, I might even like it =P) With Obama I get his dreams. I am 38 years old now I have seen too many rookies with all the potential in the world wash out. I would rather have a known commidity aka a sentor I know and have voted for 3x in my state win as president (McCain) then this unproven dreamer if I cant have HRC.
Anyways I am rambling and will stop. She still has a chance so I am still hopeful. I dontated 50.00 bucks to her today, no I am not rich never claimed to be so she will have to settle.
