How Stupid Do You Have to Be?

So, Clinton Campaign manager Terry McAuliffe is now claiming that not only is Hillary NOT going to concede, she is actually trying to convince the "super" delegates she's still the best choice:

Clinton campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe told CNN Clinton was "absolutely not" conceding the campaign and said the AP report was completely incorrect.

"We've got to spend the next three days... working the superdelegates to convince them a) Hillary got more votes than anyone else and b) she is the best one to take on John McCain in the fall," he said.
See that part in red, the part about Hillary getting more votes than anyone else? I'm just curious. What self-respecting human being on the planet (you can't count Hillary - she's obviously NOT self-respecting, and neither is anyone on her staff, obviously) is going to actually fall for this idiotic argument of "Hillary's won the most votes?!"

I mean, Obama didn't even HAVE his name on the ballot in Michigan, and NO ONE campaigned on either Florida OR Michigan, so how can she claim a victory when there was no contest? Does she HONESTLY believe, had Obama left his name on the ballot in Michigan and been able to campaign there, that she'd still have the majority of the popular vote? Further, by saying she's won the majority of the popular vote, she's ignoring all the caucuses Obama won. Finally, with her support of NAFTA when her husband passed the bill, I really believe Michigan would very likely have gone to Obama. Michigan was and is one of the hardest hit states because of NAFTA.
