**But again, if I am paranoid enough, I would say this is a political strategy for the Clintons. The Clintons were OK with excluding Florida and Michigan when they were ahead. However, now that they are behind, they are pushing for Florida and Michigan to be counted. This puts a huge question mark on HRC's true motives. Was Florida and Michigan excluded earlier for the "just in case" fallback if she loses????

**And for the superdelegates:: It is OK if you cannot come out and endorse any candidate at this time. I just hope you are doing it for the right reasons. The decision is tough but I have full respect for those who are trying to discern what the American people wants. Delaying your endorsements out of respect for the Clintons is NOT a right reason. Government service (even for presidents) was a job that the person has chosen to serve. They should not expect a payback or gratitude from the American people (who put them in office on the first place) or the people they choose to appoint in office. On my opinion, you are in your respective positions because of your merits and ability to serve your country and not because Clintons can put a noose on your neck when the need arises.

She couldn't even have a permanent campaign slogan leave alone message.
We have no place for loosers in America!

WHO ARE YOU FOOLING?? CRAP CRAP CRAP.

NO ONE HAS THE TIME TO FILL A BLOG IN A MATTER OF SECONDS!!

Clinton / Lewinsky '12

HilLiar is winning by popular vote, she comes to this number by adding ALL 50 states incl. American Idol, Dancing with the Stars and So you think you can Dance and EXCLUDING all Caucus states and taking that number times square divided by E=MC2......

Obama 08, 12 (Honest Math that really does add up)

She's full of crap!

All in all, this is totally moot since we know who the nominee will be and Hillary needs to face it and bow out gracefully before she does any more damage (but I expect the worst).

Sorry, but certain people should be held individually accountable for the problem.

But no reason to bend rules. Just punish people that caused this mess.

Fighters For Hillary

Anyone who says that they are taking their vote and giving it to the Republicans since the democrats don't want it is not reading because the RNC only counted MI & FL at 50% strength as well for breaking the rules. Also, you have to at least give Obama the uncommmitees in MI because c'mon, we all know that he would've probably carried the state in a real election or it would have at least been very tight. She's making out like a bandit if they go 50% and should accept the generous donation.

Don't be rigid.

Obama '08

Everybody– How would YOU feel if you were told your vote wasn't going to count? I would be livid. I would probably be at the DNC meeting raising holy heck.

For some of you loyal Obama supporters, you really need to take a lesson in Politics 101. You HAVE to look at who can carry which states... electoral votes are the ultimate call in November. You can actually win the popular vote and still lose the electoral college vote and the Presidency.

After witnessing the craziness in the TX primary caucuses (yes, we have BOTH a popular vote AND a caucus) I am a firm believer that we (and possibly ALL states) should seriously consider getting rid of the caucus process. In a caucus, it is no longer a secret ballot and people are vulnerable to being bullied and coerced by various supporters. I've been active in the party for some time, and I NEVER saw anything like what went on this Spring by many of the Obama supporters. I actually went home thinking, "Were these people trained by the Karl Rove machine??"

Bottom line, you super delegates need to take a long hard look at which candidate can carry the big electoral college states in November. Without those key states, we're toast.

1. You are not the front runner.

2. You are behind in every way, delegates, Super delegates, number of states won etc.

3. You have managed a very bad, and even ugly, campaign, and that you are in debt
up to your little ears.

4. Just because you say you are ahead in some the polls, does not make you the nominee.
There is a process you follow, and since you do not have the desired number of delegates,
you cannot be the nominee.

5. You have tried everything in the book to win, steal and snatch the nomination, and
despite having the advantage at the beginning, in name recognition, and money, you have
lost.

It is time you obliterated your campaign. Enough with the tears and whining.

Signed,

The Republicans

The Primary goal of 2025 should be preserved but should seat Florida an Michigan delegates after the following Tuesday. DNC should recognize FL and MI delegation while preserving the Democratic Primary goal at 2025.

Any different outcome that results in moving the goal posts will fallout to be the most scrutinized election. This will not be scrutinized by only Republicans but by other nations whom are especially against democracy. It will look like we Americans cannot comply and deviate from our own rules, while rewriting the rules only to suit our best interests.

Should the magic number be altered then it wont matter who becomes the Democratic Nominee. It will be a shame and the Republicans are going to have a field day on whoever the Democratic Nominee turns out to be.

I just want to make sure I understand your logic for the popular vote.

Don't count caucuses because the disenfranchise to many voters who had a legitimate chance to come out and voice their opinion.

Count MI and Fl though because is was a valid primary nevermind the 100,000 of voters that where told their votes would not count. And in michigan their candidate was not on the ballot.

Disenfranchise when it benefits me but don't disenfranchise if it does not help me.

I am so confused somebody please help.

In other words, two people of unknown position think, for whatever partisan reason, that the MI and FL delegations will be seated halfway. Thanks for that informative tidbit.

Hillary is the stronger candidate. We all know it. The DNC knows it. The media knows it. But what, we don't want the black man to lose for some reason? Well, if he wins now, he'll lose later anyway. Great job! We can all thank ourselves then. And you better believe the polls that 32% of Hillary's voters will vote for McCain and the rest of us will stay home. That percentage has only gotten higher with each race. And it won't make any difference what Hillary says. We are not voting for a lying, say whatever you want, make up stories, disowning your family, supposedly Christian( not in my book) shady character from the south side of Chicago. Obama tries to keep his hands clean throughout the campaign and his supporters do his dirty work. Grow up Obama and come and see us when you own up to your words and your wife's words. Different politician my b****. The only difference you have is you have NO experience. Keep talking, every week it's something new you have to apologize for. Sounds like verbal abuse to me. And this comes from one of the small town thinking, bitter middle american, "throw your grandmother" under the bus, "typical white woman. Our numbers are growing DNC. Watch for us.

Pants Suit on fire!

She can't even claim the popular vote (unless you exclude Barack in Michigan and caucus states that don't include vote totals).

We already had 16 years of lies from Clinton & Bush.
