Will the DNC be able to stand up to one of the most fearsome creatures of all: the black-hating middle aged hag?

This gay is METRO?

Eric Klien speaking now.

He’s downright Dickensian.
Specifically, Uriah Heep!

I was in the shower and missed it, darn! This is unbelievable.

[TornadoAlley3]

It’s not the outcome of today’s meeting that matters. It’s the reactions to today’s decision that will determine the shape of things to come. CHAOS:)

[fatima]

Shall they or shall they not.

[tflabo]

RBC now in a panty wad over the language of the rules?
Shall or may? Depends what the meaning is of may if it is may or shall it shall or may be is it is is what it may shall be. Let chaos rule.....

Boy these guys are in LALA land! They are splitting hairs here. This damn meeting is like Fort Knox! WHERE are the protesters?

The Michigan delegates are now truly screwed either way. If they give the 55 delegates to Osama then they face the charge that the apportioned delegates were not assigned by the will of the voters but by biased selection by exit polls. If they give all the delegates to Clinton, then Michigan sandbagged the process by leaving Osama off the ballot. Only solutions are to seat none, which they said they would not do, or a complete do-over which can’t work because now there would only be two candidates on the ballot and would essentially be a new election that can’t reflect the original voting. It’s absolutely mindboggling.

Go ahead Michigan, let them do what they want with your vote, don’t have your hand out when the few jobs that are left there are gone.

I find it interesting that the muslim population and activity in these two states, along with the ACLU and the socialists jump on Michigan and Florida to put in their agenda.

Standby for sharia. I guess the bright side is the socialists, media, news will be the first ones they get rid of.

He just said he’s not relying on any rule. Damn.

[Eighth Square]

The Demos have got themselves into 'Another Fine Mess'. If they swing it to Hillary then the cry will be ‘Racism’, ‘Racism’, ‘Racism’!!! If it goes to the ‘Bamma Bunch, then they will probably lose the election. What to do?!! Oh my! The Demo talking heads will follow the decision with their elitist pronouncements and lay the blame on ‘Rush’, honkies, Republicans, global warming, conservative talk radio, the military, guns, religion, rednecks, wars and the anti homosexual bigots, BUT never on themselves!

That is so fabulous!

It’s the reactions to today’s decision ...

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Shall does not mean May...in the case of rule 13A..

Not sure who the gentleman is bringing this up....

Harold Ickes....Clinton supporter...Now we should have some fun....

[eyedigress]

They may.....

[AliVeritas]

Hallelujah, no requirement, voluntary not Michigan rules.
DNC does what they want re: our process

Now he said he cares about the voters and their will, yet not their vote outcome I guess. I don’t believe this.

I have never seen anything like this election and probably never will. This is fun for us since we are stuck with McCain and gives the people watching on all 3 cable news networks, CSPAN, a taste of how messed up Democrats are.
