Hillary Clinton made this promise to potential voters:

“There are a lot of people who wanted to end this election before you had a chance to vote,” she said, with her husband at her side. “I’m ready to go to bat for you if you’ll come out and vote for me.”

What a disingenuous sentence. This is one of many reasons that explain why I support Obama over Hillary Clinton. That sentence right there. It has nothing to do with gender or race. What in the hell is she promising? Let’s examine it.

A) People want to disenfranchise your vote.
B) Vote for me.
C) I will then make sure your vote counts.

She might as well just say “Your vote only counts if you vote for me”. It is the message she has conveyed this entire election when after courting Iowa and Wisconsin, and the people that walked in ice cold weather to vote for her, she didn’t even thank them. It is the message she conveyed when she argued that caucus states do not matter. If things went her way the only states that should be counted, are the states that voted for her.
