They are replaying the first part now on Cspan.

They are blaming Republicans for Florida.

Male Clinton supporter from San Antonio with modest English skills looking for something but I can’t understand him.

Ah! Henry Cisneros lives.

“the only thing Michigan voters care about is who is going to help with health insurance, gas prices and jobs.”

That won’t sit well with the moonbat fringe that are running this show...

if it’s not IRAQ, revenge for the “Stolen” Election in 2000, or about World Socialism/Environmentalism, it just doesn’t matter...

That's why it's called the Nanny State, eh?

I just swung by C-SPAN.

Sen. Nelson should play a politician in the movies.

He’s positively revolting.

Florida Democrats voted 50 percent for Clinton and 33 percent for Obama. In Michigan, Clinton got 55 percent of the vote, and 40 percent of Democrats voted for an uncommitted slate.

Hillary Math:

Florida: Hillary gets 80% of the delegates and Obama gets 15%, because Hillary is more "electable".

Michigan: Hillary gets 95% of the delegates and Obama gets 0%, because Obama wasn't on the ballot and Hillary is more "electable".

“and everybody’s vote is counted,”
“legally eligible to participate in that process,”

KEY WORDS, folks...

Translation-Hillary gets ALL, Obama gets NONE, or we’ll fight it out on the floor!!

“There’s some big hoopla fundraiser in NYC tonight.”

Donna Brazile — the only RBC member who gets an ovation whenever she speaks — says to Jim Blanchard, “you mentioned your momma.” (Blanchard had mentioned it was his mother’s birthday.)

“My momma always told me to play by the rules,” she says. And if you try to change the rules in the middle of the game, “it’s cheating.”

Bush/Gore was all DNC. Dean is behind alot of this mess after his Iowa victory and subsequent defeats. Quite peculiar they pick Michigan and Florida, why not Tennessee and Oregon? Battleground states are their choosing and a serious mistake.

Clearly not the Democrats, since they’ve been running the State for years.

“They are blaming Republicans for Florida.”

And yet, Donna Brazille herself just blew up that argument with her “Changin’ the rulez is CHEATIN’!” comment...

Fla dems say Repubicans fault for moving date, that they tried to fight it.

Sen Nelson is lying thru his teeth when he says that,...

The Fla Democrats , in their legislature, voted in favor of moving the primary as I recall....
