Just give her Florida and Michigan

If Hillary wants to cheat so badly, Obama should just shove Michigan and Florida at her and make her admit that she still has no chance of winning. 

Why are the Clinton supporters blindly going along with that stupid chant, "count the vote"?  First, do those people really think it is fair to count the vote in Michigan when Obama wasn't even on the ballot?  How is the the fair, democratic thing to do?  Second, don't they realize that it won't make a damn bit of difference?

That is why my suggestion to Obama is to tell Clinton that she can have her wildly unfair votes in Michigan and Florida, even using the original numbers.  She won Michigan with 55% and undeclared got 40%.  So she would get 87 delegates, and if Obama gets the undeclared, he would get 63 delegates.  In Florida, she won with 50% and Obama got 33%.  So she would pick up 106 delegates to his 70.  This gives her a whopping 60 more delegates than him.  Since he currently leads her by about 160, and is likely to still be ahead by 130 after all the primaries are done, that sixty means jackola, as Wes Clark would say.  

He should give her the gift of sixty delegates and watch her flounder around looking for some new BS argument as to why she should still be in this race.

Give her nothing and like it! (none / 0)
Absolutely not.  If you award her a single delegate from MI and FL without rewarding Obama the equal amounts, then you are rewarding blatant dishonesty.  It will kill me if I have to vote for Hillary, but I would certainly do it before I voted for McCain or not at all.  But, you have to ask yourself, if she is willing to break the rules, to lie and cheat, during the primary, how will she behave if she is president?  Sure, there's a lot of other anecdotal and real evidence to prove that point (I'm sure Ken can make up a few), but this is Bush stealing Florida all over again - and look where that got us.  No, she needs to drop out, get the Senate Majority Leader title (if Reid doesn't get re-elected) and openly support Barack Obama - with vigor and a smile.
