He had the voluntary affidavits to pull their names.
Flawed Strategy. (timecheck for ad)
LOL!
You have to go back to the beginning. The whole idea was to avoid angering NH, letting them keep their "first in the nation" status.
MI and FL wanted to go first and were told they would have their delegates taken away if they tried to bump NH.
MI and FL thumbed their noses and moved their primaries up ahead of NH. Now the DNC had a problem. If they kept NH happy, they would p.o. MI and FL. They chose NH and gave them the waiver to move their vote ahead of the (rule-breaking) early dates in MI and FL.
At that point the committee was desperately in need of one candidate dominating early and wrapping up the nomination. They figured MI and FL would be forgotten. Didn't happen. Now they're stuck with this pickle.
Is that what all this talk is about affirmative action??? I could not understand why the heck they keep bringing it up!!!
If Obama picks her as a running mate he is not only in-experienced, he is stupid.
Brings up the uncommitted campaign (great point), not widely known in Mich. that votes wouldn’t count till well after (regardless of MPR statements mentioned).
ditto...I was standing on line in the bank and they had it on, no voice thank God....
think of it this way- the rats will disenfranchise all those voters in Michigan and Florida then we can point the finger at them and tell the rat-wingers they selected hussien obama ..
Uncommitted should be uncommitted!!!!!
CHAOS!!!!
He kind of proved he is stupid when he pulled his name off the ballot in MI.
I need a drink! This fat guy is suddenly making sense ... there was an ‘uncommitted’ campaign? Then send those number of delegates as uncommitted and open for lobbying.
Blanchard says 73 Clinton and 55 Obama because he knows that most of the uncommitted were voting for Osama. I don’t know how he knows this but he says that he does.
pffft, of course you did...typical whitey!
He just admited that this mess could mean a McCain victory!
Boy oh boy. Thanks for that explaination. Can you answer one more? What the heck is so special about NH???
This current speaker just exposed Bonior and Levin for the lying powerbrokers they are ... there was an ‘uncommitted’ campaign and Michigan voters voted for that position!
They are starting to fight. Let’s hear it for Operation Chaos!!!!!
So true. He may be that dumb but michelle my belle isnt. No way in heck would she let that happen!
