Stop lying Hillary. See this is why you are losing. Such a fake bitch.

MI and FL broke the rules, the DNC made their ruling and that was that. Obama duly followed the ruling of his party. If you are as upset as you seem to be, your vitriol should be directed at the state chairperson that moved the date forward.

It doesn't matter at this point, though. Hillary would have to have the FL/MI votes counted, *and* also win by massive margins from here on out to secure the nomination. Hopefully she'll have the grace to concede, or she'll be doing McCain's work for him.

I will always love Hillary Clinton.

OBAMA 08! McBush Never!

P.S. Shoot! My last entry (starting: "There's no rule saying that any candidate had to remove his/her name from the ballot. Dean pressured them.") was a response to BigYellow9999 and I always forget that youtube often doesn't post responses under the post you are responding to, so just letting everyone know who it was meant for, fyi. Sorry for any confusion. I need to remember to start responses with the person's name...sorry!

There's no rule saying that any candidate had to remove his/her name from the ballot. Dean pressured them. Barack should have stood up 2 Dean, as Dean was obviously off the reservation, evidenced by the fact that he went against the rules by yanking away ALL of FL & MI's delegates instead of half & pressuring the candidates to sign that daft pledge not to campaign in FL & MI. Had Dean simply halved the delegates, U & I would be unified to win back the presidency, that's the sad part. Peace out.

I had a couple of typos. Being "an enabler" is what I meant to say. Also, "state" should have been made plural. Hate making those kinds of mistakes. Typing too fast.

[BigYellow9999]

The mere fact that you're discussing how MI and FL's vote can count shows that you want to reward people who can't follow rules! These two state knew exactly what the rules were, but chose to ignore them! It's called being "an enabling"!

You're like the parents of children who do horrible things who still defend their children. You then quickly understand how th kid got the way they did!

I BET YOU that FL and MI don't pull this early voting crap again! Let them learn their hard lesson!

[BigYellow9999]

53mileswestofvenus, there's this thing called "rules". Obama followed them *perfectly*. Again, do your research. They said the votes would not count, so his name was taken off. Now, Hillary wants to change those rules. And, surprise, surprise, she's only started mentioning it after super Tuesday...when she fell behind.

Who cares who took his name off? The DNC RULES (I know, some have a hard time following simple rules) said that MI & FL would not count! Why would you vote for a liar & a cheat?

[53mileswestofvenus]

impulse9tucson, to answer your question, my outrage over the FL & MI delegate situation has NOTHING to do with which candidate I support. I've been upset since Dean issued his draconian decision, when all candidates were on all ballots and no votes were cast yet. I won't be upset if: 1.) all delegates are seated, based on election results; or 2.) half the delegates are seated, based on election results. But if they are seated based on an arbitrary 50/50 split? MAJOR upsetness.

[impulse9tucson]

Wait... what? I'm not even sure what I wrote that would get that reaction. The last time I wrote here, I basically said that this is much more the DNC's doing than Obama's.

If anything, Obama's been the only major public figure after NC and IN who's been saying she should stay as long as she likes.

Finally, it looks like this will be settled by the end of May, according to the DNC.

Out of curiosity, if they're seated and she still loses, will you still be upset?

[53mileswestofvenus]

P.S. Previous comment was meant for "Impulse9Tucson", fyi.

Yet another Obamabot insulting all Dems who don't support him & making unsubstantiated assumptions while taking about unity & moving beyond labels. LOVING IT (not!). FYI, I am a liberal, college-educated Dem who sees right through the fluff-filled, sloganeering Obama. Also, once more, w/feeling: Obama was not on MI's ballot because HE TOOK HIS NAME OFF to pander to IA & NH. Oh well. Too bad, so sad. Man: Obamabots are simply unreal.
