Guilty as charged.

That's a reading comprehension problem dude! LOL!!! I may not be able to remember to put an e on the end of your when I mean YOU ARE.....but I can understand what I read. Too bad you can't.

Let's go slowly...shall we?

"I shall not campaign or participate in any state which schedules a presidential primary election or caucus before Feb. 5, 2008, except for the states of Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire and South Carolina."

So where did it say that they couldn't be on the ballot. It doesn't say that at all nor did any candidate think that. It was never apart of the pleadge. And by the way....that is not the entire pledge.

Participation in the state....itself not the election. Again (fuck I have to repeat this over and over) the pledge ended when the polls closed. The Media event was OK for her to do. She was not campaigning.

Well both Obama and Clinton have said they will attempt to get those delegates seated at the convention.

I wonder why Obama would want to...Hillary won the state...he only stands to lose if those delegates are reinstated.
