Florida has suffered horribly due to the 3 electoral votes being stolen from them in 1898??

Okay-Harper!

This is proof of your point!

These asses are playing to the idiots in their peanut gallery---not the committee members at all.

The ENTIRE defense was lame as HELL!

They are not even trying to make sense. They are merely trying to impact public opinion.

It makes my head hurt. Truly.

She has been saying for at least two weeks that she is more electable because she beats McCain in some polls. NPR said this week that at this time in 1992, Bill Clinton trailed both Bush 41 and Ross Perot. Of course, the MSM let the Clintons
get away with their lie that he didn't tie up the nomination until mid-June 1992.

Again, did anyone see how many women were protesting in their walkers and wheelchairs?

A few more words:

Nelson-"...we ask the committee to uphold the principle of one man one vote..."


I ask the elected officials, once again, why they broke the DNC rules in the first place?

Uphold the rules. Want them changed, try again when you're not in such a hurry that you purposefully go against DNC rules FULLY AWARE of the consequences if you chose to do so anyway.

From the HuffPo story, Sam Stein, an hour ago:

Two sources, including a high-ranking official with the Florida delegation, have confirmed that the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee reached an agreement last night and will seat the state's entire delegation but give each delegate half a vote. The result would be a net gain of 19 delegates for Sen. Hillary Clinton, though no word yet on how the superdelegates from the state will be allocated. It is, the official says, a compromise that Sen. Barack Obama will be willing to make. "There will be theater but not much fight."

Circumstances, however, are looking very much different concerning the battle over how to handle Michigan's delegation. As of Saturday morning, no compromise had been reached. The idea of splitting the state's delegation 50-50 has been discussed but Clinton's camp, one source said, was not agreeing to the arrangement. In addition, reports are circulating around the DNC meeting that Sen. Carl Levin, who will be speaking on behalf of Michigan, will press for the seating of the state's full delegation, with full votes for each.

"If he does not get his way," wrote The Atlantic's Marc Ambinder, "he will likely challenge the RBC's ruling when the credentials committee convenes unless the rules and bylaws committee promises to strip Iowa and New Hampshire of their privileged status in 2012."

As it stands now, the Rules and Bylaws Committee could resolve the Florida situation while leaving Michigan hanging in the balance -- a situation that is tenable under party rules but leaves open the possibility, however slim, that the delegation matter would be unresolved until the convention.


Is Carl Levin a Hillary supporter?
