Nay, we want Hillary to file lawsuit after lawsuit, right through October. What’s David Bois doing these days?
Even so, his ears are still to big.
Wow! Your nephew must be fantastic to make it on tv on the tour. I guess I don’t have to ask if you watched Mickleson last week. That was something! Good luck to him!
Could anybody explain what’s going on to those of us who just got here? Watching CSPAN and can’t figure out what they’ve accomplished all day. I know it’s a circle jerk but even those end.
They will break the rules as they love to do, and will go 50/50 and go home. JMHO
Lol...and their sign is only hanging by a thread.
Here is what I don’t get; why is it every election the Dems screw stuff up? I mean this is really getting to be an annual event. In this situation, they make their own rules and still cannot abide by them. How can they run a government when they can’t even run their party.
The testimony today was mind boggling.
Ickes Sees “Perversion” at the DNC Meeting
May 31, 2008 3:46 PM
Harold Ickes, a senior adviser to the presidential campaign of Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., took issue just now with any notion that the campaign of Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., is conceding anything by agreeing to a proposal being floated to seat the full Florida delegation with each delegate getting half a vote — thus netting Clinton 19 pledged delegates.
“Concession?” said Ickes. “Gimme a break. Under their formula, Hillary Clinton loses delegates, not gains delegates. It is just a perversion of the word to call that a concession.”
At last year’s DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee meeting, Ickes was one of several Clinton supporters to vote to not recognize any delegates from either Florida or Michigan because the two states were about to violate party rules and hold their contests early. He has since changed his position on the matter.

Surely the dems can see how ignorant this man is!
You’re seeing a playback. They played mind games against each other and failed to explain why. :^)
Fox has been getting on my nerves lately.
So far they have accomplished nothing. The morning (or until about 2pm) they rehashed the history of why FL and MI were stripped of their delegates. Then FL presented their case to reinstate 50% of the delegates, with presentations from the State, and then the Clinton and Obama camps. That was followed by a rehash of what happened to MI, then MI state presented its proposal (reinstate all delegates and some split of the delegates), and then presentations by the Obama and Clinton camps. Then....lunch break. Some fireworks, not many. The good stuff should happen once they reconvene.
Dean took shots at the media, the supremes for “giving” the election to Bush in 00, and the republicans, etc. Typical hate speech BS type stuff.
The haven’t yet reconvened for the next session. They are hours behind schedule.
You're in good company - they can't figure out what they've accomplished either.....
Just get here myself.
Basically, "rats" pushing the toilet handle down flushing our great country down the john while GOP assclowns play with themselves
The Florida Supreme Court should step in and give the nomination to Dean.
Is that Camel Toe I spy?
A lot of yapping, nothing settled.
