What a schmuck. The NH residents who voted for his equally devious wife ought to be ashamed. FL and MI should consider themselves blessed that they avoided the mistake of potentially putting this woman on the ticket. HAHA

I know that NH was given a waiver, and MI and FL were not, but by Bill Clinton's logic, should the waiver not matter? Is he trying to take delegates away from his wife?

The Democrat campaign is shpaing up to be one of the most divisive in recent memory. From the beginning many people, myself included, sensed that the Clinton's would do everything within their abilities and power to see that Michigan and Florida votes are counted - despite the DNC ruling the primary out of order. Furthermore, these efforts are only a diversion to the backroom wooing of superdelegates who will likely vacate the popular vote. What a disgrace to the electoral process. The parties are too strong and too powerful. The people's voice - the true voice of this country - is being trampled by cheap politics. Disgraceful.

The rose colored glasses are off. Bill and Hillary are showing just who they are and who they have always been. Their bag has always been short of integrity and dignity! This isn't just a "change" as a result of the 08 election.
- Ellen, Portland
"Unseemly" and "UnPresidential" are the only two words I can think of to describe Mr. Hillary Clinton.
- Lou, Bedford
Never bite the hand that feeds you, Bill.. or Hillary. Your words might come back to bite you if you win the democratic nomination.
- Amanda, Merrimack, NH
Bill Clinton is completey losing it along w/ Hillary & her campaign. Watching these two try to torpedo the Democratic party & any chance we have of taking back the Whitehouse is disgusting. They're behaving like two year old Children who want another piece of Cake but can't have it. It's time for them to concede & save what little semblance of dignity they have left.

NH was given a waiver and MI and FL were not. The punishments were stated prior to the action taken so there is no excuse. As a former teacher and a current parent, you MUST state the consequences and follow through with them to gain any credibility.
- CS, Bedford
Does Bill remember that Hillary won this State?
