I am all for giving these states another chance with Obama on the ticket this time around. The only problem is that this may be a total mess. If it does not go the Hildebeast's way, then I can see her and her team filing several lawsuits. It only works in Obama's favor if MI and FL hold a special DNC election. The question is, does this disenfranchise the voters? It's a good question. In any case it is a quagmire for the Hildebeast.

Obama 2008!

[The laughing liberal]

The DNC better pay for this stunt!

If so, I'll register (wife might too) as a Democrat and Vote for Obama.
I can live without my Independent voter status for a few months...

Bring it on!

I DON'T THINK EITHER OF THESE STATES SHOULD BE ALLOWED, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TO VOTE OR HAVE THEIR VOTE COUNTED FROM BEFORE. THEY BROKE THE RULES AND NOW THEY ALONG WITH HILLARY CLINTON WANT TO CHANGE THE RULES TO FIT WHAT THEY WANT. SO WHERE IS THE ACCOUNTABILITY THEN. HOW DO YOU KEEP OTHERS FROM DOING THE SAME THING NEXT TIME. HOW DO WE CONTINUE TO TEACH OUR CHILDREN RIGHT FROM WRONG AND THEN WE HAVE ADULTS AND POLITICIANS BENDING THE RULES TO SUIT THEM.

Well this is the choice. Either Obama agrees or the fact is that, if he wins the nominations, it will only be because two states were shut out of the process. It doesn't go down well either way for the Dumbocrats.

The rules or the law for the matter don't mean anything to the Hildebeast. She has proven that time and time again.

[An-Independent]

No! They don't deserve another chance. Why didn't they make that arguement when they set the Freakun rules. Thats BS! Hillary is loosing and she crying foul. Hillay isn't a leader. shes a fighter. you leave fighters on the front line. they don't think cleary.

I wish i could take my vote back on the iraq war.
I want to take back my word on the demcratic primary.
Two very good reason you don't want Hillary for president. she will spend to much time back tracking in the white house.

[intelligent_inde pendent]

She doesn't have a chance mathematically, unless she cheats and steals it by somehow getting Florida or Michigan to count!

She is doing NOTHING but dividing the democratic party apart!

The Clinton Hillbilly's will do & say whatever it takes; no matter what it does to this country!

WAKE UP !

She blew ANY chance at being his VP when she threw "the kitchen sink" at him!

And she had the BALLS to accuse Obama of using republican SCARE tactics?(at the same time she was making her FEAR MONGERING commercial)

SHAME ON YOU~ BILLARY CLINTON!

if you count mich and fla Clinton is still behind Obama pal. so chill out. All she is doing is keeping her party split.

This guy has yet to lay the pimp hand down her and she is just asking for it.

Watergate
the Douglas fam
tax returns
her brother en-law
and a whole lot of other Shit man

[Bill]

The democrats can't even run their own election, what makes anyone think they can run the country?

[intelligent_inde pendent]

Billary politics as usual~

In every tough situation during this campaign; she has tried to have it BOTH ways!

Either the rules are set and you follow the rules you agreed to when the game began, or you're a cheat; there's no way around that!

You can't DEMAND that super delegates are just part of the rules, and you just abide by the rules: at the same time you are trying to DEMAND that delegates in Michigan and Florida count!

The ONLY fair way to seat them would be to SPLIT them EQUALLY, otherwise you would have to hold another election there!

I don't want it to be left to FLORIDA AGAIN!!!!

Did you see the Florida Governor today?
Saying that EVERY SINGLE VOTE SHOULD COUNT?
Tell that to Al Gore!
If that was the case~ BUSH WOULDN'T BE OUR PRESIDENT!

Hillbilly can't have it BOTH ways!

[An-Independent]

Well, look at what the other party has done. i say give the new guy a chance. Hillarys campaign is making something that people don't know a bad thing.
whats bad is that we know what type of person Hillary an mcCain are. and that is a good thing.

What the koolaid drinking nuts that like BO don't realize.... BO can't get the required number of delegates either. Rule is that you need 2025 delegates to win the nomination. Hillary is in it until the end. BAHAHAHA! My money is on Hillary.

Look, TEX, it wasn't our idea to break the stupid rules of the party's political wannabees. Our REPUBLICAN legislature changed the date...we, the voters, had not one thing to do with it. There should never be another day in USA history when "party bosses" overrule the votes of the people.
