1/2 a vote for the FIRST count?

If that deadlocks, they can then vote however they please.

The Fix is in, fer sure.

For a Democrat leader the end always justifies the means. ALWAYS.

Bravo to your comments...with one criticism: NEVER capitalize the word "democrat"! They don't deserve it.

I wonder what the ramifications are for future elections? The democRats are trying to force states to go to the back of the bus ... for some reason Iowa has to go first. Now we have 3 states the preceded Iowa. (Isn’t there some Iowa law that they HAVE to be first in line? I wonder who broke the Iowa law now that they are 4th?)

Get the media attention and the campaign $$$ by giving up 1/2 your delegate votes. Heck, they don’t matter anyway ... the supers hold the keys to the party.

I agree. I don't think Obama will get the nomination on the first vote -- and I think it will be all downhill for him after that. Then the riots begin.

I think Kucinich was also on the Michigan ballot.

IMHO, I also believe that Hillary pulled "A Rush"....sending delegates to Obama...

IMHO...B-A-L-O-N-E-Y.

Gotta love their slogan in the background- "Strong Leadership for America's Future"

Should be: "Severe Chaos for America's Future"

The democrat party's candidates at this point represent the epitome of affirmative action - two unqualified candidates, each chosen for their race or gender rather than their expected ability to perform the job. Their presence in this election is an insult to the Women and Black people that have actually strived to earn their positions and the respect of others.

What's really pitiful is that so many on the left can't see what is so obvious.

Yes, slapping myself. I asked to mods to fix it.

Oh come on, it doesn't take to mods to fix something like that.

I HATE TYPOS! There's no way to fix them once you make them. You just have to suffer the abuse from tards like me.

I wonder if all the big money donors who contributed to Hillary should get half their money back since their votes only count for half. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Since MI and FL are going to be counted, at this point Hillary can claim to have won the popular vote. In any rational scheme of things, this claim should be much more persuasive to Superdelegates than the fact that Barack Obama won more delegates under the arcane and undemocratic mechanisms of the Democrat primary process. But, of course, this is not a rational process. This is the Democrat Party, an irrational process if there ever was one.

Yes, with the Michigan and Florida counting, Hillary has the popular vote and she will sell that to the Super Delegates.

the 50% solution ...

reminds me of those socialist relativist schools that will not allow the childrens' sports teams to tally scores, so that no one loses self esteem by being "losers"

“Half the votes should count, and half the votes should be counted.”—The DNC, 2008

You do realize that the RNC has also penalized Fla. and Mich half the delegates, right?

Only the Dems could come up with something so asinine.

You do realize that the Republicans have also penalized Fla. and Michigan half their delegates....right???

Yeah, but the Dems were the ones protesting on that platform back in 2000, not the Republicans.
