Ickes: We want the Michigan uncommitted to stay uncommitted

WTF

Quote:

In a conference call with reporters, Clinton Senior Adviser Harold Ickes clarified their position on Michigan -- they don't want the 55 "uncommitted" delegates to go to Obama (his name did not appear on the ballot in Michigan).

Clinton says not seating MI and FL is voter suppression but it’s only ok if Obama voters are suppressed!

That means Obama gets nothing! How much of a fair vote is that!
Scorched Earth in progress people!

Let it not be forgotten that Harold Ickes was on the DNC Rules
Committe that voted for the sanctions:

On Florida and Michigan, the campaign again said voters in those states should not be “disenfranchised” and that the states were important to the Democratic Party's fortunes. Ickes also said Clinton didn't vote on the DNC rules.

But Ickes did. And he voted in August to strip Florida and Michigan of their delegates as a sitting member of the Rules and Bylaws Commission.

yeah, they're both nucking futs!

and if this is how rotten they "do" a primary,
can you IMAGINE what her term in the white house would be like?
...if you think this country is divided NOW!
she can't even keep her own party unified.

Even the Obama camp is open to going halfway.

Quote:

(CNN) — Obama senior adviser David Axelrod says the Illinois senator’s campaign is “open to compromise” and willing to cede Hillary Clinton the advantage in talks over the seating of the Florida and Michigan delegations at the Democratic National Convention this summer.

"We are willing to go more than half way. We're willing to work to make sure that we can achieve a compromise," Axelrod tells National Public Radio’s Michele Norris in a Wednesday evening interview. "And I guess the question is: is Senator Clinton's campaign willing to do the same?"

Obviously not.
