This wasn''t even an issue until Hillary, and her surrogate CNN made it an issue. The Senior Correspondant cautioned CNN on this quite some time ago and rightly so. CNN projected Senator Clinton to win Iowa, and she lost it. They then projected Senator Obama to win New Hampshire, and he lost. The correspondant for the Washington Post told "The Best Political Team" in news as CNN would put it to stop "Predicting the News and stick to Reporting it." Now they''ve taken it a step further. Now they want to "Be the News" instead of reporting it, but htis time they have clearly stepped over the line. Bloggers are having a field day with this and to be quite candid so am I.
CNN ran an internet article titled "Dems should have seen this coming" yesterday. Well I''m sorry for my ignorance but I never thought a news cast would tell me how to think or determine who the next President was going to be. I thought "The People" decided that. Silly me.

Who authorized the primaries in Forida and Michigan knowing it was against DNC rules? And why?Posted by tibu987

Exactly! Howard Dean and the DNC and Florida authorized the primaries and you are right to ask why. The RNC'' punishment was that only half of the states delegates would count. Why is it not the same for the DNC? The dems believe their base to be the biggest idiots. They actually expect you to re-do the primaries? You all complain about the economy and deficit yet it''s okay to re-do a primary that will cost in excess of 25 mil because the DNC''s chosen one needs the delegates? Come on people, wake up already! The DNC doesn''t want Obama to win the nomination, plain and simple.

They want to change their own rules after the game starts.Posted by kerick913

Bingo. Dems will try to find a way around all rules, even their own. Sneaky ***. I say what''s done is done, no going back. The DNC (Dean & McCullough) hand picked Clinton as the candidate, never expecting Obama to be any kind of a challenge. It''s so laughable! Now that there''s a chance that their chosen one won''t win they want to change their own rules. If I were Obama and his supporters I would be very suspect. Allowing Michigan and Florida delegates to be seated only benefits Hillary. Don''t be fooled, this was the plan all along. For what other reason would Hillary keep her name on the Michigan ballot? She has Howard Dean, the DNC and the super delegates by the short and curlies. She will be the Dem candidate. Poor Obama.

I am not the brightest person when it comes to all of this stuff, so could someone please explain to me why it even mattered when Fla, and Mich held their primaries?
I know there has been a long standing order, but does it really matter?
I consider myself a Democrat, maybe not a liberal, but for the most part a Democrat, but I do feel by having a "do over" is not the right thing to do no matter how it is done.
The leaders of the state party were told what would happen if they did, and that should be it.
The real losers in my opinion are the people that took the time to go to the polls knowing their votes would not count, and now the possibly having no say in the process, yet still tried to do what they felt was right.
I do not feel the delegates should be seated, and let the state party leaders explain to the people of these states why they took the actions they did.
I also hope the super delegates listen to what the people of America are saying and not just go with whom they are now pledged.

That slickster Gov. Crist needs to start thinking about how it''s going to look if he is taking every position that benefits Clinton with regards to this Florida primary debacle, and Obama still prevails, wins the nomination, wins the general election, becomes President, is successful at it, and then comes up for re-election in 2012.

Because if Crist is hoping to challenge him, he''ll be running as the guy who directly took on Obama and his popularity and LOST.

I smell something here that is not right. Is this some underhanded method that somewhow will influence the campaign results?
I do not trust the Clintons one iota, they are capable of sleazy, under-the-table doings. They may be calling in some of their political chits.
Can anyone tell me why this happened?
What was gained by having the primaries early?

Oh, it just occurred to me that the GOP are also going to have a field day with Hillary''s other base of support - recent immigrants (apparently gratitude for Bill Clinton''s immigration policies in the 90''s) who''s voting block is often referred to by the ''msm'' as the ''latino'' vote and the ''Asian'' vote . . .

[elsylee28]

of course they will be seated.

BTW I found a fantastic article...A MUST read for EVERYONE
