Hillary’s Words on the Michigan Primary,Then & Now

August 28, 2007… The Pledge:

“Whereas, the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee will strip states of 100% of their delegates and super delegates to the DNC National Convention if they violate the nomination calendar… Therefore, I, Hillary Clinton, Democratic Candidate for President, in honor and in accordance with DNC rules … pledge I shall not campaign or participate in any election contest occurring in any state not already authorized by the DNC to take place in the DNC approved pre-window.”

December 1, 2007:

“Well, it’s clear. This election they’re having [the Michigan Democratic primary] is not going to count for anything.”

March 19,2008:

“When others made the decision to remove their names from the ballot I didn’t because I believe your voices should count. And that’s why I’ve been saying we need to either count the votes that have already been cast in Michigan or Florida or have new full and fair elections.”
