Obama & Clinton: No, I'M with the Vice President
Voter: So here's one I don't get. Hillary is all for Michigan and Florida votes being counted, righ?
Hillary Aide: Right. She feels very strongly that voters shouldn't be disenfranchised.
Voter: Okay. So what's up with North Dakota? Wasn't she just there last weekend, trying to get the state delegates, delegates pledged to Obama, to switch their votes to her? I mean, North Dakota went huge for Obama. So when she's trying to get the results essentially reversed, isn't she very literally disenfranchising voters?
Hillary Aide: Well, to be fair, according to the rules, there's no such thing as a "pledged" delegate. And more importantly, Those were Obama voters. Hillary feels that anyone who voted for Obama, has already disenfranchised themselves from the process. Just like anyone who voted for Edwards, or Kucinich, or any of the other candidates. Those are lost votes, totally wasted. So in North Dakota, she's trying to save the voters from the terrible mistake they made. She really wants them to be a part of this important process.
Voter: uh. What process is that?
Hillary Aide: The Elect Hillary Process.
