Comments on: Clinton Campaign Gearing Up For Convention Showdown

[dothemath3]

Everyone who is so concerned about disenfranchising Michigan and Florida voters should get to work on some kind of a re-vote.

If disenfranchising voters were really the concern of Ickes and other Clinton supporters, wouldn''t they be concerned about the voters who could not vote for the candidate of their choice in Michigan because Clinton was the only front-runner on the ballot? Wouldn''t they be concerned about the Florida and Michigan voters who stayed home or did not cast a presidential vote because they were told it would not count?

The Billary Clintons are the democratic party''s Frankenstein. When the Billaries used gutter politics against the republicans democrats applauded, teaching them it was okay to do that. What about ethical lapses? Whether it was Cattle Futures, Whitewater, the Rose Law Firm, Travelgate, or Monica Lewinsky, the democratic rank and file rallied support and reinforced the idea that they would always be forgiven.

Now the Billary Clintons openly plot to subvert the will of the people using MI, FL and Superdelegates. Why? Because unthinking voters of the past have taught them that they can get away with anything. Unfortunately, the entire country will reap what the thoughtless have sown . . . all hail President John McCain, because that is what the Billaries are going to deliver.

Obama and Clinton have damaged each other to the point where neither could unite the party and win the election. If the Dems are serious about capturing the White House the delegates, Supers and non-Supers, need to recogniz
e that and select someone not fatally injured even at the start. The Democrat voters who have essentially been restricted to their options need also to recognize that reality and agree to move on to someone who would have a chance at winning. Demanding delegates stick to candidates selected before the mayhem is non-productive and will assure more years under a GOP administration. Who would that be? Gore? Bloomberg? A persuaded Powell could likely be unbeatable, I think. Early drop outs from being short of funds but not experience or abilities? If rank and file Democrats want to win the White House they need to look at the reality. O and C have done a far better job than the GOP ever could in cementing in everyone''s mind that neither is capable of winning let alone governing.

I am a registered Democrat. I am so pissed off about Hillary''s talk about trying to get the delegates from Michigan and Florida seated at the convention. Play by the rules for goodness sakes, oh, I just realized that those are her rules...to cheat and lie and mislead and imply and... Please tell her spokesperson that it is up to the remaining states...then whichever candidate has the most ELECTED delegates should get the support of ALL the super delegates and that person will be the nominee...no need to any fights. That will be democracy in the democratic party. Otherwise please rename it at the convention to the CLINTON party.

Hillary is gearing up for a showdown? I am so relieved to hear that. I thought she was gearing up to steal the nomination at the convention. We can all rest easy now.
