All-night meeting fails to come up with resolution Rules committee searching for plan to count Michigan, Florida delegates Both states' delegations invalidated for violating party rules Members of the Democratic National Committee's rules and bylaws panel convened for more than five hours behind closed doors Friday evening. The meeting ended at 1:30 a.m. ET Saturday -- eight hours before the committee is scheduled to hold a public hearing on the matter.

I did not hear Fox mention it when reporting that Barry was at Mt. Rushmore. The AP did, however, in their story which was posted here on FR. Rush must be laughing his head off this weekend...show prep is a breeze.

I remember Independance Day 1976 (It was a good time with dad cooking and everyone around). Thank God the Clintons were not around to mess that up. These two are aliens. Buh-Bye

Five states should have had their delegate numbers halved. Currently, only Florida and Michigan’s delegates are in question for the meeting. Rule 11.A in the DNC bylaws state that Iowa can hold their caucus no earlier than 22 days before the first Tuesday in February, that New Hampshire can hold their primary no earlier than 14 days before the first Tuesday in February, and that South Carolina can hold their primary no earlier than 7 days before the first Tuesday in February. All three scheduled their elections this year earlier than allowed.

Yeah, he is fantastic! He’s a good golfer, too. :)

He’s in 32nd place right now (soon to be 27th if he gets this bird!) so I won’t see much of him on TV today. Still fun to watch. Pretty brutal conditions out there.

CSPAN now taking more calls as Dems get to their seats.

Someone call up and ask them when they are going to rename their party the “National Socialism Party”.

Chrissy quoting Nixon, I’m going back to C-span.

Every day, after lunch, I download that day's Rush to my IPOD and go walking. The neighbors already think I'm a little daft as I laugh and clap my hands at what he's saying.

They'll reallly think I'm off my rocker tomorrow! LOL

Herman to panelist; "Do you smell something?"

Hmm, lunch until 4:15 ... reconvene at 4:15. Uh, yeah, this is exactly typical of democrats, 4:46 and counting and still not reconvened.

There is only one brilliant mind in those two pictures ... and she’s no longer with us, sadly.

That’s the funniest thing I’ve seen all day!

[eyedigress]

The older Dems are getting pissed on the phone.

I wonder if they are "typical white people" or what. Perhaps the blacks should ask for extra security. There could be among them some closet Bible and gun clingers who made it past security.
