The reason she won Michigan was that she was the ONLY name on the ballot. Not sure on the Florida vote though. Either way, stick a fork in her. If she stays in and has to loan herself more of her own money, I may actually shed 1 tear.
Of all the reasons on that list #1 is the biggest bunch of bullshit of all. I agree with Jerry that the reason she won is because no one else was on the ballot. Had Obama and Edwards been on the ballot, I think it would've been a competitive primary and that Obama and Edwards (the original populist of this campaign) would've fared very well here. She agreed to the rules that they wouldn't be counted. The only reason why she and her cronies (including Granholm) are pushing for them to be counted is to give her a chance in hell of winning the nomination.
Also, her calls that Obama is the one who blocked the bogus do-over primary proposal is also bullshit. His reason for disagreeing with that proposal were well thought out and not a politically motivated response
Her call for the "disenfranchised" to be counted is so disingenous, calculating, and manipulative.
She disgusts me. I wish she would just drop out and use her energy to help unify the party, instead of helping to create a red/blue culture war divide within the party.
C'mon, Rosemary, watch some nooose programs some time (at least catch MSNBCs Chuck Todd explain the situation once): even if Florida and Michigan were (unfairly) counted exactly the way they voted, Clinton would still be behind Obama, with practically no way to catch up.
Another thing, at the end of all of this, even if she stops the mudslinging against Obama, the only thing she will have accomplished is trashing the Clinton brand with Democrats. I don't think that earning the respect of people like you for not quiting at this point will be worth much to them in the long run.

Once-secret memos question Clinton's honesty.
