NEW YORK Even in the afterglow of a truly super Tuesday, the chief HIllary Clinton backers today have not outlined a plausible scenario for how she actually overcomes the Obama lead and gets enough delegates to win -- except that two of them, Terry McAuliffe and Gov. Ed Rendell, are now introducing the possibility of a re-vote in Michigan and Florida.

Florida is now discussing shelling out the money to do the vote, and if that happens, Michigan will likely follow........

Hillary is going to finagle the rules and stack the deck as much as it takes to win the nomination... and the core of Obama’s support is going to pick up their marbles and go home.

Yes, if Hillary wants a re-vote, let her pay for it.

No revotes and no delegates seated, the democrats did this to themselves. It sets a horrible precedent for the future.

Ed Rendell needs to spend more time on those property tax cuts and less on Floridas business.

If you think for a minute that a DemocRat governor would pay for a revote in a GOP primary..you are crazy.
Why oh Why do we have idiots in the GOP?
I guess we vote for them.

Now, this should outrage everyone. We have 3 candidates that no one wants and if it had been up to the public; none of them would ever be where they are. And they are talking about spending more of your money to elect them.

How stupid can you get?

This is good for the GOP.

The sheer nastiness that would result from these two knock-down drag-out campaigns would be amazing.

Anything that will get Ed Rendell out of Pennsylvania is a good thing. The crooked sob has an uncanny resembalance to Carface, the villian in All Dogs Go to Heaven.

I'm thinking about voting for Obama in the PA Primary just to give him the finger.

Agreed! Why the heck should the taxpayers pay for two elections because the Dims couldn't get their act together? The Dims didn't have anyone sentient enough to think this through and see not seating delegations from two big states was not a tenable policy???

And you think people will vote for Hillary after she obviously steals the election from a black man? Really?

Not only would it be entertaining, it could mean success for the GOP in this election.
