Obama to Philly: "Honey, I've changed."

And clips from two articles in the Detroit News. First this about a revote:
"Clinton folks will do anything to open Michigan back up," said [State Sen. Tupac] Hunter, who is co-chairman of the Obama campaign in Michigan.It appears Obama supporters LIKE disenfranchising people.
"She is in a hunt for delegates. Why this sudden pull out all the stops to give Hillary Clinton every opportunity to try to catch up? Guess what? It's not going to happen. ...
Clinton spokesman Phil Singer said, "By refusing to embrace a plan that has broad support, the Obama campaign is blocking the people of Michigan from being able to vote and make their voices heard."
And Clinton calls out Obama on Michigan Primary
"I believe the families of Michigan are just as important as the families of any of any other state," Clinton said in a hastily arranged campaign appearance downtown.
Putting aside her standard campaign speech, Clinton made a stark appeal to Obama, saying his failure to allow new votes in Michigan and Florida -- both states have been stripped of their national convention delegates because they held January primaries -- will help Republicans carry those states in November and violates "a bedrock American principle" that every vote should count.
"Senator Obama speaks passionately on the campaign trail about empowering the American people," she said. "I'm here today to encourage him to match those words with actions."

And indeed, if there were any such thing as fairness in the world and in politics, we would seat Michigan and Florida and have a re-vote.
I find it interesting that a Clinton supporter could argue that there is something supposedly fair about this whole process.
How the tables have turned, and I intend help turn them over in the Temple.
There could be a revote in MI if Obama would ask the co-chair of his state campaign to stop blocking it. Guess "Mr. Hope" ... isn't.
