That's not the issue. The issue is that she said it wouldn't count for anything.
As far as people voting, many surely didn't but the primary races weren't the only things being voted on.
BTW, Al Gore took his name off the MI ballot in 2000 and still won the state in the GE so Clinton's statement is nonsense anyway.
Thanks for your reply. Is there any reason why you didn't answer my question?
I live in MI. There's no outrage about that here in my circles, and I talk politics a lot with people.
You know why? Because it was clear to us at the time that that election, as Hillary said, "doesn't count for anything."
Why did people go to the polls? Any number of reasons. My mother went because I encouraged her to go. That doesn't mean that either of us thought that our votes actually counted for determining the nominee. Some people might have thought they would count, but those people weren't paying attention.
Don't claim to speak for MI voters. That patronizing attitude has become very tiresome.
Also an MI voter, also haven't heard any outrage, and I've asked. McCain is never going to triumph here and anyone who says he surely will does not know anything about MI. We won't suffer his bullshit here any more than we did Bush's.
I agree with you that McCain won't win MI, although I think that he does have a chance here. That's why we have to work so hard from now till November to make sure that we prevail!
OK, for completeness, here are her actual words (the best quality audio I could find, though the still images are not particularly flattering).
That's... fairly explicit on her view regarding Michigan. New Hampshire Public Radio, 10/11/07.
Yeah...she said we know it won't count for anything...
