Obama insists that rules are rules & Fl & Mi shouldn't count. But is that really a winning argument within the Party? About 2.3 mill Dems voted in those primaries.

Remember in 2000, Dems fervently argued that Fl election law was less important than making sure "EVERY VOTE COUNTED." The party then claimed that holding to the strict letter of the law was tantamount to disenfranchisement.If "voter intent" was more important than the law in 2000, shouldn't it also trump mere party rules in 2008?

It'd simple. Hillary signed a pledge not to campaign in FL/MI. She said she would not count their vote. Now she wants to go against her pledge.

It's simple, it may be unfair on FL/MI but Hillary should be disqualified for violating her promise AND for going back on her word, thereby meaning that all FL/MI delegates are free to vote for whoever they choose. Obama or say for example Edwards. That would be the only reasonable fair response to Clinton's rule-breaking.

hilary is a fucking rasist pig

[aaltman9]

with absolutely no punishment for breaking the rules? you don't just get a do-over after knowingly breaking the rules while cognizant of what repercussions would ensue. best solution: split the delegates 50:50 from michigan and florida and get past this crap.
