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.

Very crafty black lady... sneaky way to stab your own in the back... so that would be... ummm... sexist and racist?

LOL

Get her Nelson.

Obama has 1983 delegates...only 43 shy of the magic number. I have been watching the super delegates add up throughout the week. He is gaining about 4 to 5 of those each day...meaning he could end this today...most definitely by Tuesday.

But why the sun glasses....?

She may have an eye condition. I wouldn't go there :)

“my God.....this crap is all the republicans fault”

What did you expect??
Everything wrong with THE PLANET is Republicans fault, and has been since 2000.

When Democrats screw up, it’s not “Thier” fault, it’s those evil Repubs.

Just like Arabs blame “The Jews” for everything from thier leaders corruption, to power outages.

Hey...
If it works for the Palestinians, it’ll work for DEMOCRATS, right?

Looks like Donna Summer’s crazy Aunt.

Nelson just implied that BHO is less likely to win in Nov....or a threat that Floriduh RATs won’t vote if delegates not seated.

[AliVeritas]

Ms. Griffith needs a black history lesson on democrats and republicans, the vote and civil rights.

[oswegodeee]

Nelson just chewed chairwomen a new one! ROFLMAO!

[CAluvdubya]

FIGHT ON THE FLOOR!

[penelopesire]

He always acts like the whole world adores him...LOL.

Things are heating up in there..’Adversarial question’...YIPPIE!!

[TornadoAlley3]

Republican's fault, “motherhood bill”

[clintonh8r]

Uh-oh...getting testy now.

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

He may be just 43 shy of winning now, but “at the end of the dayyyy,” the finish line may have been moved.

[tcrlaf]

Democrat More-Equal-Pigs believe that thier voters ARE NOT SMART ENOUGH to vote “Correctly”.

[fatima]

:)Thanks SunkenCiv.Bet she’s having a little nip right now.

[Red_Devil 232]

Would that be an eye condition like “it is all about me”?

[SunkenCiv]

Heh... great analysis IMHO. One quibble — Obama wasn’t on the Michigan ballot, so those other delegates have to be in the “uncommitted” pile, and go to their candidates (Kucinich, Dodd, Gravel). Since the ruling was, the delegates shouldn’t count, the DNC needs to stick with that. Of course, since the DNC isn’t going that route, to Hell with it, just bring ‘em all in, and apply the same type of rules used in the other primaries. :’D

But Hillary has said just because supers declare they have not officially voted yet and can change their mind up until they vote at convention. She is going all the way to the final vote on the floor and beyond.

[snip] She noted that it was a Republican-controlled legislature in Florida that set the early primary in violation of Democratic (and, for that matter, Republican) rules. “So why are we penalizing the Democrats?” she said. [end]

[AliVeritas]

Nelson, break it down... I need the know. Who approved the rules or broke them. Oh... republicans two to one, snuck in stuff, wow. Figures. This is what happens when you can’t accept a Gore loss in Florida. (i’m not laughing... this is serious).
