Bill Clinton: Once FL And MI Are Counted Neither Candidate Able To Get Pledged Delegate Majority

ABC News' Sarah Amos reports: Former President Bill Clinton today continued to reiterate the importance of counting the votes in Florida and Michigan, saying that once they do "neither candidate can get a majority just from pledged delegates."

Speaking to a crowd of more than 1,000 at Montana State University, Clinton enthusiastically took to the stage and began by asking the crowd, "Aren't you glad Montana matters?"

While the former president has been off the campaign trail for the past few days, Sen. Hillary Clinton has been forceful in her calls for all the votes in the two disputed states to be counted. Today, her husband continued that argument.

What a F----- up couple Bill and Hillary make! They lie to us as if were stupid,I'm insulted when Hillary says that Florida and Michigan should count after the candidates decided not to campaign in those states. her ignorant supporters may have fallen for that lie she's maged to spin,but anyone with and ounce of common sense and honesty can't possibly agree with her. She's not even the president yet and she's lying and cheating already.Imagine if we were to elect her and let her loose in the Whitehouse with all that power ( and Bill )........That's really scary!

Bill, you lied your way into the presidency as a progressive, and then betrayed American labor and small business owners with your "free trade" policies. That is the reason Hilliary is having a tough time bringing the base together for you and you know it. It's her association with your record that hurts most. All the angst you and she are professing over the Michigan/Florida situation is like that of a person who sits down to play Poker and finds after the bets are in that they have been dealt good a perfect Cribbage hand and now wants to change the game. No. Play your hand by the rules of the game you sat down at. Enough of this "victim" act.

Dream on, Bill.

You were accomplishing so much with your foundation. But your narcissism, your Achilles' heel, again proves your major obstacle.

Shakespeare wrote some of his greatest works about such tragic figures.

HELOOOO..FYI to Bill: SENATOR OBAMA ALREADY HAS THE MAJORITY OF THE PLEDGED DELAGATES!! YOU LYING< TWISTING BAFOON!!!

Really, really, really bad HuffPo headline.

The full article at ABC states that he says that neither can get the majority from pledged delegates (duh, Bill). That's quite different from him saying that neither can get the pledged delegate majority. (If he had said that, he'd be an even sadder creature than he already is.)

The Bill Clinton of the 1990s does not exist anymore. Instead, we have this lying buffoon.

Hey Bill, yes, someone will still have the majority of pledged delegates, even if we count the so-called primaries in MI and FL. Obama holds that record, and he still will.

And then there's this gem:

"And Hillary's position on this all along has simply been that we should all -- in a contest this close -- we should let everybody vote, let every vote be counted and have the people who hold the balance of power decide who would be the best president and who is the most likely to beat Sen. McCain."

People 'who hold the balance of power decide'? But every vote counts? Come again?

Really? By his record on "Free Trade" VS his campaign promises, I thought he was lying then. Just not the buffoon part so much. Yet. Then.

Bill is still spouting crap. He talks about "THEY "want her to quit. "THEY" don't want her to win. "THEY" know Hillary can win the General Election. Who the hell is "THEY" Does Bill mean the American People as "THEY" or is it the Right Wing Conspericy. I wish the Media would stop with repeating the Bill fabrications. The American People want Clintons our of public livf and out of the spot light. Both Clintons like to tell fabricated tales thinking we are all so stupid we will believe what falls out ot their mouths. Once a liar always a liar.

Montana only matters to Bill and Hillary Clinton until the day after the primary. No one matters to them but their own blind ambition.

Why cry and whine at the end. Just move on.

My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June ...

HILBILLY CLINTON

Disingenuous...at best.

Thinks we're stupid...probably.

Bill has become a huge disappointment.

I can't believe Bill is hormonal too...must run in the family.

Ol' Slick Gun Willie...still spinning, lying and shooting from the lip, trying to get his cackling, lying hag HRC elected to the White House. The Clintons have moved far beyond simply trying to kneecap Obama. Shut up Bill, no one's listening to you any more. Hit the road to Hope...Hope, Arkansas that is!

They haven't been able to get a majority of pledged delegates since when? Talk about being slow on the uptake.
