Feb 6 - What really counts in winning the presidential nomination is delegates, not votes. Winning states doesn't equate with winning delegates. On Super Tuesday, Barack Obama won more states than HIllary Clinton but got fewer delegates.

  • Why do we call ourselves a democracy when the publics vote doesn't even count.Who has the most money seems to be the name of the game, just look at our joke of a president. Daddy bought him that title.

  • DR.RON PAUL

  • im just saying that it is unfair to seat the delegates as they stand now. Hillary won, but in both states it was an unfair election. I agree that the people of both states should have their voices heard, but they also deserve to have fair elections.

  • Clinton did not campaign in Florida or Michigan she did thank the voters for coming to the polls and voting for her. It was the voters decision to show up and vote. They did and they show not be punished for some out of THEIR control. Obama could have put his name on the ballot. It's his fault that he didn't.

  • The voters in Florida didn't pick the primary date, their Republican dominated legistlators did. Bottom line, the electoral college elects Presidents, not popular vote and we need Florida in Novemeber. Check out the Florida blogs, the Republicans are already wooing the disillusioned Florida voters. We must seat the Florida delegates to win in November.

  • When is the US going to have real elections instead of 'SELECTIONS'?

    The superdelgate system and electoral college winner-take-all fiasco are fraudulent, anti-democratic tools to leave 'we the people' out of the equation in deciding on the future course and fate of our nation...

  • yes, but those states knowingly broke the rules. If they decide to count the votes then there needs to be a re-vote to be fair to both democratic candidates. Hillary now wants the states to count because she won and needs those extra delegates because she is behind. But she won because Obama's name was not even on the ballot in Michigan and because he stuck to his word that he would not campaign in Florida, unlike Clinton, even though they both knew that the delegates would not be awarded.

  • What the DNC is doing to Florida & Michigan voters is wrong. It's a power play using misdirected mass punishment against the individual voter. If the DNC wants to bully the Florida & Michigan voters by not seating their delegates, then Florida & Michigan voters should use their vote to boycott the DNC's presidential nominee at the polls in the general election and allow their States to go republican in the electoral college vote in November. This will show the DNC just who really owns the power.

  • There is a list of superdelegates and a google map, who they are and who they are voting for. Do a search on google and you will find them. A useful tool to contact them if they vote contrary to our vote!

  • I can't believe that some ron paul supporters would sink soo low as insulting people who are on the other side, It's people like you who are the reason ron paul isn't winning.
