Florida, Michigan cannot save Clinton

Sorry, Sen. Clinton. Michigan and Florida can't save your campaign. Interviews with those considering how to handle the two states' banished convention delegates found little interest in the former first lady's ...

It is ridiculous for the Democratic Rules Committee to consider any "solution" other than a full seating of delegates according to the actual votes recorded. Any other solution disenfranchises 2,264,837 voters, which Barack Obama ought to know from his legal work defending voter rights. If the Rules Committee thinks they have the right to tinker with the math, they should take away the superdelegate vote for anybody involved in the Florida and Michigan primary debacle because these decision makers obviously lost sight of the right of all voters to be counted.

No wonder people are setting fires in Florida. It just makes them so mad that the rest of the country gets to vote, and they do not.

Funny rules?! How about the repubs “funny" rules of impeachment? You are the reason I could never be a repub because of your smug, condescending attitude!

The problem is both Hillary and Obama pledged to not campaign in those states, and to have their names removed from the ballots.

Only Obama actually did what he said he would do. Very amusing to see Hillary trying to twist this to suggest MI and FL should count for her, despite the facts I mentioned in the first paragraph.

On a sidenote, I'm really enjoying watching the two of them rip each other apart.

I hope it goes on until November.

So you are proud in the way that you’re party is divided? Wasting million fighting each other? They have spent over 350 million dollars campaigning and fighting. Sounds like a party I would never defend.

Impeachment, you’re talking Bill Clinton right?

My smug condescending attitude, what, over the truth! Hey so be it then.

I love watching every primary to just to see her flapping away about staying in to the end, making sure all votes count! Right, the only thing she cares about is herself; if it was the people and her party she would have dropped out a month ago and backed Obama.

Breaking news, CMM just released this statement “Hillary announced today that she will leave the race in December whether all the Super Delegates have declared or not."

Go Girl, like I said funny chit!

Hillary was never one of my choices until I did some investigating. She has done so much for charities way before ever considering the presidency, which tells me she must be a decent person. Of all candidates, she is the only one that stands any chance of Healthcare reform. No, I don't condone giving free healthcare to every deadbeat that doesn't have any desire to work. My concern is the people that do have a desire to work and have fallen on hard times for whatever reason. It can happen to anyone. Not everyone has the dollars to bail themselves out. I am fortunate to not know any of these issues, but not naive enough to think it couldn’t happen to me.

Let's talk about wasting money by getting into a war on lies. Now we are stuck in a war that can't be won. Now we are loosing lives as well as money. Oh, and while we are at it, congrats Cheney for getting the contracts!!! Talk about "conflict" of interest. We don't want to stay but we can't leave. Thanks "W"! Talk about spending money, which is all we do in the current administration. Impeachment over sex acts, ridiculous. That has nothing to do with the job. Of course we will have to bring up the part about Clinton lying. The problem is he should have never had to discuss it! Going back to wasting money, again, how much did it cost us to try and impeach him? Now let's talk about gong to Iraq and the “weapons of mass destruction”. So how many did we find? Maybe “W” needs to work on “his intelligence”.

Hopefully you are happy I thought to even come back and respond. Goodness knows I won't waste any more time though. Enjoy your comeback, I won't see it! By the way good luck with McCain! Oh and if it makes you feel any better my only real choice for president is too smart to even run. I guess “W” really wore out Colin Powell.
