Hillary intentionally used fundraisers as media events to give false hopes to Florida voters, saying "if you vote for me, I'll make sure your delegates count", which she has no authority to do. It's campaigning, plain and simple.

After the polls closed in South Carolina she couldn't stick around to make a decent concession speech and to thank her supporters for their hard work. I guess once they've served their purpose, her supporters are invisible to Hillary Clinton.
Spin it anyway that makes you happy.

Obama didn't even thank his voters in Florida.
Not one word from the whole campaign, except for calling the votes " meaningless"

Speaking of Hillary's word, did I hear correctly that she proposes a cap on credit card interest rates of THIRTY PERCENT...with her voice doing that gathering-momentum thing that is supposed to make the audience FEEL like she's making a Point for the People?

THIRTY PERCENT?!

With friends like that, we need a Godfather.

Obama left his name on the ballot as well.

A victory rally takes place after the polls close. Check what the candidates pledged to do and what was not apart of the pledge.

Not in Michigan. He took it of according to his pledge. But Hillary's bullshit made it clear the pledge was null and void.

It's still a campaigning speech, and her local campaign organizers still kept at it whle Obama shut down his campaigning operations.

So yuet again, Hillary (R) Clinton proves herself an absolute liar who can't be counted on to ever keep her word.

He certainly had his name on the Florida ballot. And the pledge did not say anything about removing their namesanyway.

It's still a campaigning speech, and her local campaign organizers still kept at it whle Obama shut down his campaigning operations.

The speech was made after the polls closed. She did not campaign in Florida. Period.

A complete distortion....whatever.

Of course, we realize that facts aren't needed to attack Hillary.
She was on the ballot right? Same here in MI...Obama and Edwards weren't even on the ballot.
