"We will leave here more united than we came," she said.
Some audience members heckled her in response. "Lipstick on a pig!" one shouted.
"We just blew the election!" a woman in the audience shouted. The crowd was divided between cheering Obama supporters and booing Clinton supporters.
"This isn't unity! Count all the votes!" another audience member yelled.
At stake was what the Democratic National Committee was going to do about the Michigan and Florida primaries, where the Party initially proposed to ban delegates from those two states from the August National Convention.
The "compromise" effectively gives the nomination to Senator Barak Obama.
Of course the procedure is so convoluted and arbitrary that the deal may not stand up to the scrutiny of a court of law.
Whatever happened to "every vote must be counted"? Silly me, it only applies to when the Democrat is behind a Republican...

"Lipstick on a pig" - so this is where Senator Obama got the idea from.
With the cover of "I was talking about economic policy" of course.
Governor Palin mentioned that she was like a certain Alaskian animal - only with "lipstick".
And then, only a few days later, Senator Obama changes this animal to a "pig".
It will not do to for him to say that Governor Palin's comment was not in his mind.
I was wondering when someone would bring this up. :-)
As the comment was made by a Clinton supporter to refer to a compromise deal on the Florida and Michigan convention delegations, I think we can safely assume this was not a chauvinistic remark.
Senator Obama is trying to claim he is an innocent clumsy clot, not a nasty bully. I don't think he's an idiot, so I have only one option left. No credibility either way.
