It appears that unless everything goes EXACTLY as they want it, Hillary Clinton and her ilk are not happy. Seating the full delegation, but halving their votes was a trully generous albeit questionable ruling. It is past time for these "Hillary or I'll vote for McCain" disciples to step back and see the self serving interest for a minute. The DNC rules clearly state that both states would automatically have lose half theor delegates for the rule infraction. Yet HRC wants all of the delegates to go to her when the election which was held was completely unfair. She is still determined cause an uproar at the convention, which will only re-divide the party...SELFISH!!!

Look at a few well documented facts that you obviously don't know and CNN won't tell you.

HRC rior to being elected Senator in 2000 Hillary Clinton has never held an elective office, and had never run for an elected office. Total years of elective office service 8. First Ladies are not elected officials, have no standing in either house of Congress, and are not in line to succeed the President or VP in the event of their death or incapacitation.

BO: 8 years in the Illinois legislature plus 4 years in the US Senate totaling 12 years experience in an elected office.

WJC (Bill Clinton): Rhodes Scholar, Graduate of Yale School of Law, former university proffessor

HRC: Wellesley College, Yale School of Law,

BO: Columbia University, Harvard School of Law, former university proffessor

Since all of the above are "Ivy Leaugers" how is it that only Barak Obama is considered an elitist, and only appeals to the college educated audience...kind of hypocritical.

Today,s decisons will provoke a Democratic Party defeat in November.

I thought is time 4 clinton to give up and support obama,,change we believe in.

That Stephanie Tubbs is a big mouth with no real purpose. She self inflates her importance and speaks nonsense on a continual basis. She would follow Senator Clinton to hell...

Count votes 100 percent. 50 percent is nothing.

HILLARY, PLEASE RUN AS INDEPENDENT.

19 is too many

Buncha stomping whining crybabies.

Harold Ickes is right the eletion is being Hijacked !I can't help but feel that Dean has Hijacked this election from the voters of MI and of this country!

Is it to late for me to become an Independent? Superdelegates please put an end to this before the whole ship goes down.

Hillary is the one who can beat McCain in November!

The obamabots are clueless!

Gi Hillary!

Count those votes!

Go Jones!

I still can't believe it's even being discussed. If I was the DNC chair, this meeting wouldn't even be taking place.

You cheated. You broke the rules. You don't get to be in the game anymore. Done. Deal with it. You don't get to change the rules after the fact.

Maybe next time you'll learn how to play by the rules. Florida and Michigan both should be disallowed....and if voters there are smart (and yes, that's debatable), they'd fire the idiots who put them in this position in the first place, instead of trying to commit a hostile takeover of the presidential primaries.

Hillary Clinton has never played by the rules, so I don't expect anything other than cheating from her. So it doesn't surprise me that she's stirring this pot trying for her ridiculous and desperate attempt at stealing the nomination too.

It's over. Move on.

The disrespectful Hillary supporters should be escorted from the room. I have not heard booing from the other side, just the Clinton side.

Then again, this disrespect isn't the least bit surprising.

Shame on that campaign!! It was the DNC Rules Committee that decided that FL would get no delegates, that their primary would be for nothing, because they broke the rules. True, it was a Republican governor and republican-led legislature that broke the rules, but it was the DNC Rules Committee that said they would get no delegates out of this. ALL THE CANDIDATES had agreed with this decision back in 2007. Now that HRC is trailing, she wants it all, even tho' I am sure there were many democrats who did not bother to vote (either for her or Obama) since they knew their votes would not count.

I think offering to count half is more than generous. I watched this part of the hearing and Ickes was just rude. Obama's campaign could have fought to stuck by the original decision.

I could not think DNC could be this stupid .. to get into this situation to start with ..

One should not have agreed for not counting the deligates of Florida/michigan before and change your stand , to demand the change of rules, just for the sake of personal agenda. This is shame . Lost respect for these old time politics and the rowdism ..

What is this nonsense !!?? One candidate is ruining chances for 2012 also ..forget about 2008 alone ..

Continue the fight after 2009 for 2012 planning ....this is not the time ...if one is serious about seating all deligates ..

I hope this won't repeat in DNC history !!

This is going to be good. After all the whining the democrats did in 2000 about counting all votes they are going to show their true colors and disenfranchise voters again and like they do every election but this time they can’t use the old play book blame it on a "Vast right-wing conspiracy". Go ahead make my day!
