I think this is ‘Comrade Wexler’! He is always so angry....LOL
If there was ever a more unlikeable fellow than Wexler..I haven’t seen him. UGH!
The certainly seem like an angry bunch.
Seems Obama has an affinity for ‘unlikeable’ folks.
EXTRAORDINARY FRink!!
If these folks would simply do a little research on Obama...just a LITTLE...
Oddly- these two Dem neighbors really are quite sane- but they can’t quite seem to get over the government-as-daddy hump
Not watching it (kids shows are one) - so how is it looking so far? Is it time to dunk the witch?
Did he just tell everyone they should be thankful fake messaih wants to give 19 delegates to hill?
I just know it! He is so mad he is GOING TO SWALLOW HIS TONGUE!
He is an ass, allright, but he is making sense and uses logic. The dippy gal before him was all emotion and no reasoning or logic.
“A partial half vote”
What.... is that like 1/4 or something....LOL
More republicans fault. As if it’s a gift for them to get fifty percent... um, Obama’s name was still on the ballot just like Hill’s correct?
I remember this on Michigan via the Miami Herald:
TO: Interested Parties
FROM: The Obama Campaign
RE: Michigan Democratic Presidential Primary
Because Michigan violated DNC rules by placing its Presidential Primary on January15th, the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee ruled that the Michigan Democratic Party could not use the results of the January 15 Presidential Primary to allocate delegates to the 2008 Democratic National Convention. In other words, no delegates are at stake today in the Michigan Democratic Primary.
All of the Democratic presidential candidates publicly pledged not to campaign in Michigan, none have visited the state, opened offices, hired staff or communicated with voters through television, mail, phones or otherwise. In addition, four Democratic presidential candidates, Obama, Edwards, Richardson and Biden withdrew their names from the Primary ballot in order to avoid participating in the Michigan Primary. Clinton did not withdraw her name even though she publicly committed to not participate in the Primary. Clinton, Dodd, Gravel and Kucinich are the only candidates on the ballot today.
The Obama Campaign is not participating in the Primary and has not instructed supporters
in Michigan whether or how to vote.
Therefore the results of the primary tonight have no bearing on the Democratic nomination
contest.
Florida, whose primary was scheduled for January 29th, is just like Michigan – the DNC applied full sanctions for setting an early primary date and there are no delegates are at stake. As with Michigan, all of the Democratic presidential candidates signed a pledge to not campaign in Florida. Although Senator Obama did not remove his name from the Florida Primary ballot because Florida law did not allow him to do so, Senator Obama is firm in his commitment to neither participate nor campaign in the Florida Primary and its outcome has no bearing on the nomination contest. We raise Florida today because Senator Clinton has scheduled a fundraiser in Florida on Jan. 27th, and there are signs – despite Senator Clinton’s public pledge to the contrary – that she may be planning to campaign in the
state – inquiring about large venues and increased organizing activity – ahead of the
Florida primary.
Our position and the position of the DNC is clear – neither the Florida nor Michigan primaries are playing any role in deciding the Democratic nominee and we are not campaigning in either state.

Did Wex say unity? As in Wright’s idea of unity?
.
So far, it’s a “food fight”. No riots......yet.
Why can’t democrats speak without sounding like hysterical women??
Bread and circuses.
This thing is so Bolshevik.
3/5s.
Democrats have used it in the past.
Sounds like he just made a veiled threat to act up at the convention....
HMMMMMMMM.......
Doug, it grates my last nerve when freepers forget that the dems brought 7 suits the the Florida federal courts and a democrat judge, Judge Sauls ruled on all 7 suits that the dems did not win one suit....The US SC only upheld Judge Sauls on each suit
“Why can’t democrats speak without sounding like hysterical women??”
Your soundbite doesn’t make the evening news, otherwise...
We can only HOPE!!!!
