Madfloridian's Journal - In St. Pete Times interview Hillary Clinton attacks Obama and the DNC.

This is getting more and more frustrating. She is using this issue to hurt the party by trying to keep the people angry. It is quite the opposite of what she said a few months ago.

She agreed then to go by the party rules and honored the place of the first four states. But now that she needs the delegates, she is pursuing this endlessly.

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, shown in a congressional hearing last week, told the Times on Sunday, “It’s always been my hope and my expectation that we would be smart enough to figure out we don’t want to alienate 1.75-million voters in Florida.’’

Florida's vote boosts nominee's legitimacy, Clinton says

In an exclusive interview with the St. Petersburg Times, Clinton offered her most extensive remarks on the delegate problem and pushed back at the Democratic National Committee's philosophy of having the campaigns approve a settlement.

"I don't think it's up to Sen. (Barack) Obama or me to dictate any resolution. I think it's up to the DNC to decide how to proceed, and I would hope that it would do so recognizing what's at stake,'' Clinton said in the interview late Sunday. "It would be tragic if we came out of this process ignoring the will of 1.7-million Floridians, setting us up for a very unhappy electorate in the fall, giving Republicans this incredible argument they could make against us."

She further blamed Obama for not going along with what she wanted.

So why didn't she speak up sooner about the need to count the votes of Florida Democrats, rather than wait until her campaign was in trouble after losses in Iowa and South Carolina?

"I was a little preoccupied,'' she said, laughing. "I was trying to stay alive, frankly."

.."The elected officials in Michigan were all united — let's revote. The Democratic National Committee decided to support a revote. The only person who didn't want to let people vote was Sen. Obama,'' Clinton responded.

"The cynical explanation is, no, Sen. Obama does not want people's votes to count. We're Democrats. I thought we believed in counting votes."

She is not telling the truth. She is making stuff up to toss at Obama. Of course he wants peoples' votes to count, but within the rules.

When you deliberately break the rules, intentionally, on purpose as FL and MI did....you just do not get the option of setting the agenda.

What angers me more is that her national co-chair, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, rounded up some senior citizens and posed them with signs to make our vote count. The campaign is constantly keeping Florida people agitated and stirred up.

Rally with Seniors

On Saturday, a scroll circulated throughout the crowd of nearly 3,000 Florida seniors who gathered for the rally. The older voters signed on to support a decision that could help determine the Democratic nominee for president.

"A scroll that has been signed all over the state of Florida … is here today, voters are signing to urge the Democratic National Committee to seat our delegation," U.S. Rep. Debbie Wassermann Schultz told the crowd.

Schultz, one of many organizers behind the effort to ensure Florida's votes are counted, said she believes Hillary Clinton can overtake Barak Obama if votes from Michigan and Florida are added to the mix.

Governor Dean gave an interview recently saying that they were not going to bend the rules for either side.

She seems unwilling to accept that.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution recently wrote that Hillary Clinton suffered from "campaign bubble syndrome.

I tend to agree. She either is not aware she is harming the primary process...which does have rules....or worse, she just does not care.
