Are you angry MI and FL got 1/2 a delegate vote?
Do you think the DNC was not fair?

Well you should watch/listen to this one!

Yes, I think they should have stood their ground and not granted any relief to the woes of the poor states that broke with the party.

You cannot penalized the voters for what a few morons decide to do.

Re vote both of them and lets see where the chips fall, its the only fair way.

Sure Fl and Mi broke the rules, but the rules committee just broke the rules they made by doing this.

A total RE VOTE is the only way.

Am I angry?

No.

However, it was a decision decidedly slanted for Obama. And I get that. He's leading, has this thing wrapped up and it was a way for the DNC to stick the fork into Hillary.

But it's called "politics" for a reason. And this is one of those reasons.

No...it either stays like this or they get nothing. They broke the rules. Plain and simple.
Moving the goal post after is cheating.
Offering 1/2 a vote was a gift to unite. And in my opinion, they should not have even done that!

Hillfans keep saying the VOTE...the vote!
Do you really think there is any accuracy in that so called event they held?
If someone told my my vote wasn't going to count....I would not have voted!
So you say 2.3 million people voted blah blah blah. Well can you imagine how many people would have voted if they did not break the rules?
And MI...that is an even bigger mess because Dems could vote republican! And if you were a smart Dem, you would vote for the easier person to beat!

This whole thing is a mess I agree.
However it really is done now and it really is time for the Hillary fans to stop and think before they vote McSame. Think about the issues...
Think with your head and not with your heart.

It's easy for people when passions and tempers are high to announce that they will cross over and vote for the other party. It happens all the time. Now I'm not saying there won't be any Hilliary supporters jumping over for McCain, but when the dust settles I think many will still vote for Obama.

Of course most Clinton supporters will come over to Obama. They just need some time to get over their disappointment. Once they weigh the issues and see what a disaster 4 more years of Bush policies will bring, they will make the right choice. Obama, in all his graciousness, will accept them with open arms as he unites the party.

It's laughably ironic that Florida and Michigan thought they were so clever bumping their primaries up to the holiday, but have been rewarded for their cleverness by having their voting clout circumcized.

Those buffoons should be glad that they get any votes at all.

The booing at yesterday's DNC zoofest should rightfully have been directed at the baboons who chaired FL and MI...

I am sorry, the PEOPLE did not break the rules, the democratic leaders broke the rules.

Just shows the democratic party dont care about you and your vote.
Why send everyone to jail when only a select few broke the rules.
I say those who made those decisions should be fired and a re vote done.

The people were screwed, thats a fact.

Poor decisions by the democratic party is becoming common.
