I totally agree with this editorial from cnn.com yesterday...

BAsically, it says that if the flag pin is a requirement for having a "patriotic" candidate, then they should just make it a law that the pin is a required part of the uniform. Then, no one will be able to say that any one candidate is less patriotic than another just based on their uniform. Of course, a few candidates may take it to the next logical step and start wearing flag underpants.

You know, maybe Obama should start wearing an entire U.S. flag suit. That would show that he's the biggest patriot of them all!!!!

The article suggested it more than anything.

Holy crap! I don't know whether to laugh or cry....!??! She CHEATED. She really doesn't get it, does she? :?
How'd she cheat?
Noticed this got lost amongst the flag lapel pins (agreed: what a crock).

She signed the same pledge as the other candidates did about not campaigning in Florida or Michigan. I also believe there is some video or audio of her saying rules-are-rules or something close to that at the time the penalties were put on. Fast forward to after Iowa and things aren't going well and all the sudden she is making stops in (?)Michigan and equivocating about things and not getting around to taking her name off the ballot, etc.

Don't know if its cheating but it definitely isn't above board or honest, IMO.

It's not really Obama's style, but I'm surprised nobody brought this back up:

Conan had a good bit on this where Gandhi came out and told a bunch of "oh snap" jokes about Hillary.

FL and MI. Agreed not to put her name on the ballot (at least in MI) and then did it anyway.....she knew she needed the votes after losing in IA. So, despite the other candidates keeping their names off the ballot and despite the party "punishing" those states for moving up their primaries, she put her name back on. I think she did it for exactly what is occuring now: she claims she "won" those states and should get those votes. It might not be an exact definition of "cheating" but it is renegging on her agreement and it is sleazy.
