- gemstone1955,
Your case is not against the DNC, it''s against the Michigan and Florida officials who moved up their Primaries knowing what consequences the rules called for.
Hillary won''t be going to court because she would have to be a subject of her own law suit since she went along with this agreemnt when she and Florida and Michigan all agreed to it.
It would be like the Coke commercial where coke wants to sue itself. It wuld be thrown out in a nano-second.
Regarding disenfranchisement these 2 states disenfranchised themselves. The problem will be worked out but it''s a problem of Michigan and Florida''s making, with an assist from the flip-flopping Clinton Campaign.
Keep in mind that 45% of Michigan voters came out in the snow to vote none of the above with only Hillary to vote for. And you think she should get all the delegates? I don''t think so! - Reply to this comment
- Gemstone, I think you have a very valid argument here for a lawsuit to be filed on behalf of the disenfranchised voters of FL and MI. If Mr. Dean fails to seat your delegates "as is", then I would gather as many Hillary supporters as possible and file a class action lawsuit against Mr. Dean and the DNC! I believe you have a winner.

- The DNC may not accept the citizens of Florida & Michigan''s voice at there convention but come November they can''t suppress there voice any longer. I think Florida & Michigan citizens will at that time make very clear there voice! As will there fellow citizens all across this country who believe in a citizens right to have there voice heard and there vote count. The DNC will regret having gotten away with a bad & illegal rule that is in conflict with the constitution of the United States. Our government leaders may not want to take on the issue because they are all part of a party but we the people know wrong when we see it and come November we the people will let the DNC know they should have counted the Florida & Michigan votes and chosen delegates in a open and fair election that was conducted by the government.
Illegal because
1. 2008 first time Primary process is a nation wide process
2 tax payer money used to pay for elections and it crossed state lines to conduct all phases of those state elections
3. Presidents only have come from primaries
4. if the rule had been against a minority not having a right to vote in the primary process or there chosen delegate seated for representation at the conventions do you think the US government would have step in for there voters rights? YES IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE RIGHT THING TO DO! - Reply to this comment

The republican machine is itching for her to get the nomination to make her scandals a center stage of this election. Before we vote for her, let us take a preview of how vulnerable she is here .. http://www.therant.us/staff/swirsky/03132006.htm

- The beginning of this article is inaccurate. Obama does have a clear delegate lead and it is next to impossible for Clinton to close the gap. Saying that neither will have a clear lead is incorrect and misleading. But it sure helps make the pro-hillary argument. . . .
