Was Hillary forced into the Four State Pledge?
Hillary was the last candidate to sign the pledge, and the one with the most to loose. Up until the last minute, it looked like she might reject the deal, but that would have been very risky. Once the DNC set up this situation, Hillary greatly risked damaging her chances in the four states who were demanding this pledge, and that would have essentially been political suicide, so basicly she had to sign a deal the might turn out to cost her the nomination.
Had Florida and Michigan been counted, both states whose demographics favor Hillary, while S. Carolina very much favored Obama, Hillary would have gone into super Tuesday with all the momentum, instead of Obama, and this primary most likely would have already been over, with Hillary winning heavily on super Tuesday.
In my opinion the fix was in, and I personally am very unhappy with this situation created by the DNC.

It's all BS. Hillary won both states fair and square and now the Obamladites are crying about it. Just because your guy felt that the people of MI and FL weren't important enough to put his name on the ballot, doesn't mean he gets a do-over. If he ever gets our asses kicked on the battlefield, I can pretty much guarantee that our enemy won't give him a do-over. And as for HOOOOWAAAAAAAAARD Dean, he needs to pull his head out of his ass, give Hillary the delegates she won, and stop making FL into a repeat of the debacle it was in 2000.

The Last Minute (DVD) $22.27 LAST MINUTE is a dark comedy that exudes a well-defined feeling of outlandish exaggeration and startling truth in one smoothly paced motion. Directed by Stephen Norrington (BLADE) and set in London, it is the story of Billy Byrne (Max Beesley), a self-obsessed up-and-coming star. Working as an artist, Billy is on the verge of fame, with his girlfriend and his friends firmly behind him. However, when his moment of glory comes to an abrupt end, Byrne loses everything. Depressed and alone, he finds himself sinking into the spiraling depths of the London underworld, engulfed by a shady ring of crime in a network of tunnels underneath an old theater. Billy`s decisions along the way are influenced by a street-smart young girl, Anna (Emily Corrie in her feature film debut), and the horridly tainted leader of a gang of child thieves played by stage and screen actor Tom Bell. Adding to the cast, accomplished actor Jason Isaacs (THE PATRIOT, WINDTALKERS) puts forth a violent charisma as the film`s quirky villain, who has a propensity for busting into song. Fresh cinematography and Norrington`s hip personal style add to this satirical display of London`s highest and lowest lifestyles. THE LAST MINUTE is a small budget film that can easily contend with Hollywood`s finest productions. |
