"I hear all the time from people in Florida and Michigan that they want their voices heard in selecting the Democratic nominee.
"I believe our nominee will need the enthusiastic support of Democrats in these states to win the general election, and so I will ask my Democratic convention delegates to support seating the delegations from Florida and Michigan. I know not all of my delegates will do so and I fully respect that decision. But I hope to be President of all 50 states and U.S. territories, and that we have all 50 states represented and counted at the Democratic convention.
"I hope my fellow potential nominees will join me in this.
"I will of course be following the no-campaigning pledge that I signed, and expect others will as well."
Zero. Most folks saw this turnaround on seating dem delegates coming. The dem power brokers wished to have the GOP candidates beat each other up in Michigan and Florida. The dems will go at any lengths to attempt to split the GOP coalition, and vice versa.
OMG! Howard Dean!! The Clintons POODLE??
OMG! Howard Dean!! The Clintons POODLE??
I wavered briefly, thinking Obama would be harder to beat in the general.
My spine has again strengthened. I want to see this evil woman stopped in the primaries.
I could at least survive Obama in my living room for the next four years. Can't say the same about the evil sinator from NY.
These criminals will continue to get away with things like this until every SANE American stands up and protests.....(not holding my breath waiting btw!)
Favorite Frickin Photo of all Time. It’s just ahead of Gore breathing fire.
Not in the least. And if the DNC does not give in to her, there will be quite a spectacle on the floor of the convention when delegates riot and demand to be allowed to vote. If you thought the Dems were bad in Floriduh 2000 . . . .
There’s lots of time to summer, but the undeniable natures of the players in this farce will not change by then. The DNC Convention inside AND outside will be a treat.
This is really shaping up to be “The Perfect Democrat Storm”
Obama is already ahead in delegates elected by voters who participated in legal primaries. And its looking likely that he will have the most ELECTED delegates at the convention.
However, Hillary will win with her SELECTED superdelegates AND/OR illegal Michigan/Florida delegates. And you already know that she WILL be allowed to have them counted.
Now picture how the Obama supporters will react. Selected not elected anyone?
Also, many conservatives have been very positive about Obama’s character (not his politics), including Rush Limbaugh.
The democrat primary is shaping up to be one of the most earth shattering political events EVER.
When I read her quotes I hear her voice in my head.
Not good
Which convention is first, the GOP or the dems?
If the dem convention is first, and Clinton is selected (not elected), the GOP would miss out on a huge block of angry black votes if they didn’t choose JC Watts as VP.
Opportunistic? You bet.
If the GOP convention is first, I don’t think it matters too much who they choose. But if they did choose JC Watts, it would certainly complicate the dem convention.
Does Obama, etal remind you what it is to be a "R". Take the high road & these scum Klintoons will destroy you. How's it gonna be for 8 more yrs of those two because they are on course. Thank your pubbie senators on the impeachment issue. Was that any high road?
some people a pretty slow learners huh?
I'm sure that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Personally I still think Obama is the tougher candidate in November. Polls for years have consistently stated that 50% of the American public would not ever, under any circumstances, vote for Hillary.
People “feel good” about Obama, and that makes him more dangerous. NOBODY “feels good” about Hillary.
I'm not letting the repubs off either. NcLame, Santorum, etc doing deals with her in the senate. GW with his daddy & Bubba. There plenty of blame for what was the so-called enemy. They all are whores.
“King William the Fellator”
Technically he was the Fellatee.
The sheeple won't I'll guarantee you that. They need to lose their freedoms before they will ever realize what they had. 40 plus yrs of communist indoctrination & the enemy has succeeded.
Nobody campaigned in Michigan because the state was denied any delagates by the party because of the rule violation. It was considered a meaningless primary, and Hillary was the only one on the ballot. After she barely eked out a “victory” over “Uncommitted”, she now wants delegates from her supposed “victory”.
What a slimeball.
