Comments on: Obama: Clinton Should Not Get Florida and Michigan Delegates

[jockh]

In her 2000 campaign for the Senate, Hillary Clinton''s campaign demanded her opponent release his tax returns and even sent a staffer dressed as Uncle Sam to taunt him during campaign stops. Today she refuses to release hers. Makes you wonder what crooked and shady characters have been contributing to her funds.
Don%u2019t be afraid Hillary, release your tax returns and let us vet you.

Hillary makes ridiculous claims that she is tried and tested in over 80 countries. As the wife of a visiting US President she simply tried and tested various tea and cookie offerings but she never negotiated anything, in fact she did not even have security clearance. By Hillary%u2019s childlike reasoning this means Laura Bush is also tried and tested to be President or that the wife of a brain surgeon is qualified to operate on people!!

Hillary may have answered the White House phone at 3am but I am sure the callers always said CAN I SPEAK TO YOUR HUSBAND PLEASE!!

She is not of His caliber and if negative campaigning is her best effort, why should she get any...to satisfy....what??? She is dummed to loose to McCain...wake up Democrats!!!

The republicans are feeding your brains with smoke to damage the party & most of the hatred here on these sites is driven by republicans wanting the WEAKER of the TWO candidates to be nominated.

Obama will be sustained and bring us True Democrats back to the White House. He drives such energy and enthusiasm into the whole election process. It''s not about McCain/Clinton/Obama, this season is all about ---- Barack Obama!!!! He is the shining star of this whole election & bringing young, old, all walks of life and all the energy back into Washington, DC.

We want our boys and girls out of that miserable war. Barack Obama is that -silent voice- for everyone who has lost a child & been touched by a Bush/Clinton war in Iraq and Afgha...their silent tears and the words gone - USPOKEN
Only one --- Barack Obama is that voice!!!!

The comments from some people in the Obama camp to split the delegates or take the number of delegates from the Jan primary and massage the numbers somehow to make it more favorable to Obama is ridiculous. We need to seat the delegates based on the vote of the people not by backroom politics or devising some formula. Otherwise just coronate Obama the winner and forget about elections. There is no way Obama can become the nominee if he has lost CA, NY, NJ, Ohio, MI, FL. Well, the only way he can avert this is to nullify the vote of the 2.5 Million people who have already voted in Mi and FL. The democrats can not stand for this. Either count the votes as they are or hold another primary.

First: in the case of Florida no one in the democratic party, not the voters and not the state democratic party had any say in the date. The date was set by the republican legislature and approved by the republican governor. How can the DNC punish the democratic voters? Second: More than the number of delegates, it is important who wins the state. Why, because these two states are battleground states and the democrats need to win them to win the whitehouse. Remember the general election is winner take all - none of these splitting the delegates, etc. So it is important to know which candidate wins these two battleground states.Third: A reasonable solution could be count the votes in Florida (no one campaigned there, all names were on the ballet, we will ignore Obama''s ads through the national cable channels which was against the rules), include the super delegates since they did not have anything to do with moving the date. In Michigan, count all the uncommitted delegates for Obama (these were Obama and Edwards votes), and strip the superdelegates since these people had something to do with moving the date. This seems a solution which while not perfect will reward the voters who voted and punishes the supedelegates who had something to do with changing the dates.

Michigan and Florida, It''s all in your hands! 8 more years of Republican rule? You cry that you want you vote to count and that Hillary won out right; but this was an un contested election. Mc Cain is sitting back grinning like the fox that''s about to eat the hen! Hillary is mathematically out of this thing and you guys are just prolonging the agony. Stop the madness and let''s bath Obama and then win the White House!

Horse hockey? -funny. They all simply agreed (including Hill) that they wouldn''''t count. That is pretty simple to me. I hope they do a re-vote. Obama will clean up in Michigan. So there will not much movement delegate wise.

No, they agreed to abide by the rules and not campaign there. It was the DNC that made the rule the votes wouldn''t count.

fjstradford;
Hillary and Bill have so much dirt on themselves -it''s not even close. There''s the 16 million dollar campaign fraud (largest ever) going on against the Clinton''s in LA for Hillary''s senator run (it''s pushed back until Novemeber). Rezko''s co-defendants have also donated to Hillary''s campaign -and that''s just the tip of the ice berg.

Since Mr. Obama is the one who broke the rules in Florida, those votes should stand as voted.

HIs claims that he told them to stop the ads, and they said they couldn''t stop them is horse hockey.
