I BEG TO DIFFER WITH YOU! I will be casting my vote for "NONE OF THE ABOVE"! These elections need to be decided by popular vote. I am sick of the electoral, pledge delegates, superdelegates and caucuses deciding the elections. These are antiquated systems best suited for a time and country without communication. In this day of high tech instant communication, we need to listen to the will of the people.

The Govenors of Florida and Michigan signed the law moving the primaries up and breaking the rules of the Democratic Party. They and they alone are to blame! They gambled with the their constituents votes, without even going to the voters to see if it would be ok to make the change. Why more has not been made of this is hard to understand. If the voters of Florida and Michigan are upset, and feel disenfranchised the correct place to take up their concerns is at the govenors mansion.

I love the clips they are playing over and over again from last fall with Hillary saying "It's clear that these primaries are not going to count". She raised no huge objection then. Why? Well of course she didn't think she was going to need them. A truly principled candidate would have been on the record pushing for resolution so as not to disenfranchise the voters in these key states. Had she done that, she could now be referring back to those statements in an "I told you so" type of voice. But, as per typical Hillary, she is now just using them for political means. Why do people trust this woman? Marc has it correct.

In any event, Barack Obama, as the nominee, will want FL and MI seated. However, this still means that they should be seated fairly in accordance with DNC rules. Even if the DNC seated only 50%, the maximum according to the rules, that is 50% more than HRC agreed to before her inevitability evaporated in Iowa. Some of you over in cult Clinton may wonder, hey, how did we get here. The answer is simple - the empress has no clothes. HRC may be plenty smart and know everything about all the issues - but that does not a good politician or president make. After all, Jimmy Carter has a PhD in nuclear physics. The point is that this was an organizational debacle from the start. Considering the state of her campaign, it's probably best that we'll never have the opportunity to see how she would run the white house. It should be telling when a candidate running on a fiscal platform of pay-go has a campaign $20,000,000 in debt. Over-confident, arrogant, contempt for her opponents, no capacity to see beyond herself. I would never expect such behavior from a democrat - a former nixon/goldwater supporter, perhaps.

Even if the DNC seated only 50%, the maximum according to the rules, that is 50% more than HRC agreed to before her inevitability evaporated in Iowa.

Some of you over in cult Clinton may wonder, hey, how did we get here. The answer is simple – the empress has no clothes. HRC may be plenty smart and know everything about all the issues – but that does not a good politician or president make. After all, Jimmy Carter has a PhD in nuclear physics. The point is that this was an organizational debacle from the start. Considering the state of her campaign, it's probably best that we'll never have the opportunity to see how she would run the white house. It should be telling when a candidate running on a fiscal platform of pay-go has a campaign $20,000,000 in debt.

Over-confident, arrogant, contempt for her opponents, no capacity to see beyond herself. I would never expect such behavior from a democrat – a former nixon/goldwater supporter, perhaps.
