Subject: RE: BS: Hillary Adopts Tanya Harding Option???
And of course not only are Genie's objections to Hillary's stance on Michigan and Florida valid, she actually agreed long before Michigan and Florida voted, that those votes would not count. It's only after "winning" them that she wants them counted. There just may be a slight whiff of hypocrisy in her attitude.

And how concerned do you think she would have been about "disenfranchising" FL and MI if she had won Super Tuesday handily, as she had planned, and Obama had dropped out?

It is in fact absurd to talk of "disenfranchising" in this sense since many times the nominee is known early in the schedule of primaries--and nobody raises much sand about the "rights" of the people in the states voting later in primaries. Some states obviously must vote later than others--unless it were a national primary on one day---which would obviously only reward the person who had that time had the name recognition and the money to make the media buys necessary.
