Clinton Claims She Didn’t Say McCain Is More Qualified Than Obama
[Quote:]
Take a listen. The part where this happens is at about 3:20 in to this interview with NPR.
So did she say it? Well, unless the person in this video kidnapped Hillary and gave this press conference in her place, then yes, she did say it.My hope is that people will remind her consistently about this in the coming days. It’ll interesting to see what she has to say.
Oh, and by the way, listen carefully to the interview:
Senator Clinton admitted to breaking her pledge to the DNC. She stated:
“… we all had a choice as to whether or not to participate in what was going to be a primary. And most people took their names off the ballot, but I didn’t. And I think that was a wise decision because Michigan is key to our electoral victory in the fall.
This is a direct and unequivocable violation of her pledge to the DNC and Democratic voters. She signed a pledge not to campaign OR PARTICIPATE. Here’s the relevant section of the pledge (pdf):
THEREFORE, I (Hillary Clinton), Democratic Candidate for President, in honor and in accordance with DNC rules, pledge to actively campaign in the pre-approved early states Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire and South Carolina. I 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 (any date prior to February 5, 2008).
By her own admission, she has broken her pledge.
As she stated, she had a choice to make - and she chose to break her word.

Well, sooner or later she will fall from the race. Funny how people still behave as if there was no way they can be caught in a lie this easily. Damn the net.
