"Hannagan said that if Clinton is not the Democratic nominee, some members of his forum will vote for McCain, write in Hillary’s name or not vote at all." So, in the end, this is what all the red-faced, finger-pointing, strong-armed Clinton tactics have succeeded in doing. Anyone who refuses to recognize the value that Obama clearly brings to the Democratic ticket as the nominee has been the victim of a deliberate and calculated brainwashing campaign orchestrated by Bill, Hillary, Chelsea and all their surrogates. How un-American. We've suffered through it long enough!

DNC needs to remember November of 2000.If the do believe in true Democracy they should count every vote as they were cast in Michigan and Florida.If they do not they will loose at least 126 life long conservative demomocrats to Senator John Mcain regardless who the Democratic nominee will be.Those 126 will be Mcains Democrats
not Reagan Democrats.

I just want to know why the Clinton supporters keep forgetting the fact that Hillary SIGNED the pledge saying that she KNEW the votes would not count! There are tapes of her saying that she agreeded to the decision. She is using these supporters because she now needs their votes! These women are so blinded by the fact that they want a woman president that they are not even looking at this situation rationally. Talk about "drinking the kook-aid!"

Sad very sad. This group is truly delusional if they think it's fair to seat the delegates according to the illegitimate primaries in Michigan and Florida, especially Michigan. This group is reacting on high levels of emotion rather than intellect and rationality. We all know that when emotions run high, especially in women but men too, we all do things we normally would not do. If you give all of these people some vellum they wouldn't act so irrational.

Apparently these protesters can neither count nor do they care to abide by the rules.. Sure hope the children of America do not take their actions to heart.. will some one please explain to the children of America that this is a country of Rules and Laws…

SORE LOSERS , BUT WE HAVE A COMPLEMENTARY PRIZE FOR YOU . OBAMA AS PRESIDENT.

These yahoos…they broke the rules. Deal with it.

Florida and elections…enough said. Michigan is disappointing but the Dem parties in those states KNEW the consequences.

Deal with it. This is all Hillary created anyhow.

Ironically, if they kept their primaries when they were originally scheduled, they would have been huge! Yahoos

Frankly, I disagree with Sen. Clinton's demands that Florida delegates be represented 100%, as wpould any fair-minded individual.

Just as there are penalties for violating the law, there are penalties for breaking established rules, otherwise, Laws and Rules mean nothing…

These clintonistas are too funny. They purport to want representation for MI and FL but they would have been more than happy to disenfranchise tens of states of voters if they' had had the nomination sewed up by Super Tuesday. It's obvious that the reason they want these rogue states counted now is because they've lost the primary and they are desperate. If Clinton can't win they'll do all they can to mortally wound Obama. Get a life!

Look at the Hillary supporters in these pics…can you say "unemployed" by day and raging alcoholic by night.

THE DEMOCRATIC POWER OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS PUT TO TEST!

Great for Clinton and her supporters but I don't think that it will influence what the Rules and Bylaws Committee does. They will seat this in a manner that is fair to both candidates.

I do agree that something should be done to have Fl. and MI. represented BUT I also feel some form of punishment is mandated. If these states get away with this then every state will feel they can break rules and get away with it. It's not the voter's fault that that the legislatures screwed things up.

At the same time though, why does Hillary feel it necessary to bus demonstrators in to support her cause? And why on Earth do we keep hearing the same threat that if she is not the nominee, we'll vote for McCain? Talk about trying to steal the nomination!!! If Clinton had any decency, she would speak up and tell her supporters to stop with this nonsense and let the process work. She should also say that if she's not the nominee or even on the ticket, they have a moral duty to support the Democratic nominee. This has really turned into a sad state of affairs.

Breaking the rule! How can Hillary gain the good credibility from her own people and another nations in the way to get ellected. Common America you as the great nation, you should believe and faithfull to the rule you made.

This is one of the dumber protests ever. The only way to make it "fair" would have been to have another election since not everyone voted and Obama wasn't on the ballot not to mention the pledge both Obama and Clinton made.

If somehow this gives Hillary the election, you will have a bigger protest on your hand and McCain in office next term.

They SHOULD count. I think it's about time we modernized our voting process anyway. Why can't all states vote at the same time? I don't think this creeping election is truly fair. People should vote for a candidate because they believe in their abilities and they have mutual opinions on key issues, not because they are currently ahead or behind or ahem, motivational speakers.

Stupid. Follow the rules.

THIS ISSUE SHOULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED LONG AGO SO THAT ANY DISPUTE ARISING AFTERWARDS COULD BE DEALT BEFORE THE CONVENTION IN AUGUST. EVERY VOTE SHOULD COUNT AND ALL THE DELEGATES SHOULD BE SEATED AT THE CONVENTION. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY SEN. OBAMA SHOULD HAVE HIS NAME IN FLORIDA BALLOT AND NOT IN MICHIGAN. WAS THAT A CALCULATED MOVE OR AN OVERSIGHT? HE SHOULD NOT BE AWARED ANY VOTES IN MICHIGAN.I HEARD THE COMMENT THAT DONNA BRAZILE MADE LONG TIME AGO ABOUT HER PLANS TO LEAVE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IF THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE WERE TO BE OVERTURNED. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF SEN. CLINTON HAS MORE VOTES AND SEN. OBAMA HAS MORE DELEGATES? WHOSE WILL SHOULD BE FOLLOWED IN CHOSING WHICH CANDIDATE TO REPRESENT THE PARTY.? I GUESS THE CANDIDATE WITH THE MAJORITY OF THE VOTES. DNC SHOULD LEARN FRON THIS EXPERIRNCE AND SCRAP THIS DELEGATE NON-SENSE AND HAVE A STRAIGHT VOTE WHERE THE CANDIDATE THAT HAS THE MAJORITY OF THE VOTES WINS THE NOMINATION.

The blame here belongs to to republican, which is responsible for moving up the Florida primary. For you who say you will vote republican is just plan ludicrous. You should be so upset with the republicans that you come out in great numbers to support your democrat nominee.

Tell you what, lets do a do-over and take Obama's name off all the ballots and have a revote. Then when Obama wins the primary, let's take his name off the general ballot. Do you think Hillary will be satisfied then? How ridiculous!

HILLARY, YOU ARE A DISGRACE! A DISGRACE TO AMERICA AND TO YOURSELF!

Tell you what, lets do a do-over and take Obama's name off all the ballots and have a revote. Then when Obama wins the primary, let's take his name off the general ballot. Do you think Hillary will be satisfied then? How ridiculous!

HILLARY, YOU ARE A DISGRACE!

If Clinton was winning
Michigan and Florida would not be mentioned
If Obama was losing and
Michigan and Florida had voted for Obama then
Clinton would be arguing that rules are rules and they should not
be counted
You know it is funny but last year she agreed to the rules but that was when she anointed herself as the Democratic nominee since she had 35% lead. What a difference a year makes.

A democrat voting McCain is everything but not a democrat.

If her supporters are that ignorant and elect not to support the process and the party, then they deserve everything they will get if McCain gets elected. All those women for Hillary who are also sisters, mothers, grandmothers, etc may regret helping McCain get elected when members of their family end up dying in Iraq, Iran, Afganistan, or wherever in one of John McCain's personal wars. He is just like Bush. He wants to be remembered by history as a wartime President. And if he is elected, a lot of our soldiers will die giving him his legacy.

I'm really amazed at the arrogance of the Florida and Michigan's voters's demand that ALL of their votes be counted. First of all, they broke the rules. Second of all, all of the candidates agreed not to count these two states for breachingthe rules. Now, they demand that ALL of their votes be counted. What a hipocrisy in the land that preaches to the whole world what democracy and the law!! Senator Clinton and her side has no values in life and she should be ashamed of her posture on this matter.
Barack Obama has played a very fair and honarable play in this otherwise shameful attitude and arrogance by Senator Clinton and her troops! The world should deplore this kind of behaviour.

Fl & Michigan votes should count!

It is only fair.

Obama Is Going To Be The Next President Of The United States. Americans Have Voted For Change. Change They Can Believe In! Out With The Old And In With The New!

I hope to God they will do the fair thing and count all the votes and seat all the delegates. Hillary did not campaign in these two states wither. Obama always says he didn't but neither did she..she has won this thing fair and square and is being cheated in my opinion..
Barack has no experience, and seems in love with the radical preachers who spew hate. That is not what we need!!!

There is no question in the minds of great men and women that the vote in Florida and Michigan should be counted as voted.

Why not?

If it is not counted here and accurately why should the states votes count in November? That is the line the Republicans will and should use.

So to blunt that attack, I suggest the all votes be counted as voted.
and let the chips fall as they may

It is the AMERICAN WAY to count all the Votes.

I live in here in South Florida and I think Feldman's statement is ludicrous. Our primary was a non-event,and everyone here basically regarded it that way.And we Democrats in Florida are not "in danger'.Thousands here are geared up to organize for Obama in the coming election.There are e-mail campaigns here and special events taking place that are keeping the level of enthusiasm high . We're going to "Count Every Vote" in November,and this 56 year old white Jewish voter can't wait to vote for Barack Obama.

This will be little not les than Castro election in Cuba.

How can you seat a delegate without someone's name on it?

Are we in third world country?
Delegate should be devided into 2 so that it doesn't have any impact just as it was meant for by breaking the rules.

Millions stayed at home not voting knowing there vote won't count. What about that?

The rule is the rule. How can president candidate is allowed to brakes the rule, and in THE middle of campaign, in America. All the people around the world watching. SHAME ON YOU HILLARRY!!!!

Demographically Florida as well as Michigan are "Clinton"-states. When it was decided that the votes from those two states would not be counted she started to lose her "momentum" in favor of Obama. This is unworthy a fair election in a democratical party - don´t you agree? Rigid and meaningless rules and technicalities should not be allowed to settle the nomination.

As Long As They Dont Give Her Everything And Him Nothing Their Decision Can Be Somewhat Fair. You Cant Break The Rules And Expect Not To Be Penalized.

If the DNC gives 100% of the delegations back to MI/FL - it will signal lack of party control/discipline… precidence needs to be set, otherwise every state will just hold votes whenever they want to and that's not what we need.

Voters should blame their local governments, not the DNC

I can't understand how people feel this would be fair. Because someone insist on having things their way, with no validation, they take steps to do things that make them look spoiled and childish. What kind of message are you demonstrators showing your children? I pray that this does not backfire in your faces in the future. You reap what you sow, you sow discord you get discord, you sow integrity and honesty that is what you get, you sow wrong thinking and wrong actions and guess what that is what you get. Hillary and her supporters are wrong and they know it but payday is coming. Remember your actions when something happens in your life that should not have happened and you feel you were done unfair. IT WILL BE PAYDAY!

We know that Obama will be the dem nomine,but if he does wn the presidential election, we shall know the Clinton caused this.Ofcourse she is the one insighting this FL and MI and she knows that it wont make her the nomine but she saying atleast let us all fail.Does she love the party? NO NO NO

The 2008 Dem campaign exposed one great thing :
That Hillary Clinton is a liar, a cheater, and a foul politician.
She has proven she values her own personal ambitions above party and country.
WE WILL REMEMBER, Hillary, should you ever attempt to run for any public office in the future. WE will make sure you NEVER get elected.

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!

Obviously, the protestors have a right to be there. It's true, however, that whatever can be done should not always be done. In this instance, Hillary's handlers are perfectly willing to make the DNC look bad in her take-no-prisoners attempt to stay in the race. It won't work, serving largely to lower the esteem in which she is generally held among her colleagues in Congress. She has lost the nomination. Now she is losing position in Congress. The latter is a pity because she showed some promise of emerging as an important member of the Senate, in time.

Karen Feldman: "in Florida that was the purest election we’ve ever had."

That's pretty sad if this botched up primary is the purest election FL ever had.

I'm sorry, let me include this. Now, she wants to back out of her originally agreement seating FL and MI delegates. FL and MI, do not be puppets. She was not interested in disenfranchising you when she thought you were winning. Obama removed his name because they all agreed to not campaign there. Therefore, Hillary can only "claim" FL. Because our Democrats are spineless and are afraid of the Clintons they will try to unfairly divide the delegates between the two candidates. Again, lets do a Hillary, back out.

In this case Clinton supporters are as dishonest as her…they all need to just go away…FADE OUT YOU FAILURES.
DEMOCRATS FOR OBAMA
OBAMA 08

Can't the Democratic Party get anything right? This is an awful spectacle. One side wanting to break the agreed upon rules to give voice to people in Florida and Michigan. The other side supporting rules that deny a voice to people in two states in one of the closest primaries in history. Can this be resolved in a way that makes everybody happy? Will anybody be happy? And how many voters will this cost the Democratic nominee. That may not matter today, but come November a fes votes may matter. Remember Florida 2000.

Karl Rove's neo-con-hired footsoldiers descended in DC! whoopdeedoo!

When I back my car out of the yard, I now call it doing a Hillary. She has backed down from taking credit for certain perceived successes during her husband's administration (NAFTA). She has backed down from supporting a disastrous war (IRAQ). She has backed down from the gasoline holiday tax. She has backed down from her JFK comment. She has backed down from her hard working white voter comments. She has a long history of backing down. Is this the woman I want handling the country? She will back down and back up just like my car.

I wish I could go but I have other obligations. I wish every Florida and Michigan voter could go. It was a record turnout election and Obama got beat! And yes, he did have ads on television! he DID advertise to the people of Florida because the first I had ever seen him was the day before the election on my TV! He's desperate and crooked.

America Supporters!

Those who support Hillary, Support this Country 100%

Since Obama is the biggest National Security Risk this nation has ever faced.

The people do not want him as the Nominee.

Disenfranchised voters? Give me a break! This is ONLY about Clinton trying to scare up some delegates. Voters from MI and FL who followed the campaigns NEW the votes would not count. If they decide now, after the fact, to count these votes the real disenfranchised voters are the ones from MI and FL who did not vote in the Dem primary because they were told by the DNC that the elections did not count. It is disengenuous for anyone to argue that these elections represent the will of the voters.

OH yea, Hillary has no role in the protests. She signed off on Michigan & Fla. they should NOT count. I'm sure her campaign paid to bus these idiots to Washington. With the gas so high they didn't pay to drive themselves. Especially since they are poor "white" uneducated people.Now she will be "more" in debt. Who does she think is going to pay her debt's? NOT ME !!!!! DNC grow a pair & tell this lying witch where to go. I don't think she should even get her job back in the senate. She is unstable & shouldn't have have anything to do with running this country.

Mad gramma
Bitter
white/ Obama

How could the Clinton campaign deny any role in protests? They really take the DNC, the Obama campaign and everybody else for idiots.

Give it a rest. They broke the rules….PERIOD! If you tell your kids not to do something, and they do it ANYWAY, you don't give them a reward for it.

If the DNC bends and seats them as is, they're gonna throw away the election BIG time.

Clinton is unliked by more people than those who like her. The Democratic Party's record turnouts wasn't because of her. It was because of Obama. A LOT of the states Hillary claimed victory in, were won by Republicans voting for her to keep this thing going. SEVERAL state's exit polls showed almost the EXACT percentage she won by was the amount of votes from Republicans that she had received. Dems dont like her. And she'd get slaughtered in November. So I don't understand your logic of "SHE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN WIN IN NOVEMBER" when she cant even win her own primary.

Don't seat them or seat them at 50% for each candidate. That's the only fair way to deal with it.

And do you REALLY think if she DOES steal the election, she'll get the black or Republican votes? Please…there's WAAAAY too much dirt on her. She'd lose a landslide victory and knowing her, will probably argue and spin the entire term of McCain on how she was robbed.

Hillary is a shame trying to change the rules

If the DNC does not do the right thing, Hillary should run as Independent. Hillary Clinton, The first woman President of the United States of America and the first Independent President of the United States of America. How's that for change!!!! The people's president! Doesn't the constitution's first 3 words 'We The People'

Please Superdelegates, there is a lot you don't know about Obama that will come out after Tuesday and your decision to join him will bite you in the butt.

More of the same old politics we're trying to escape.

If she can't win, she'll cry, stomp her feet, and pout.

The protesters are her pawns.

Bless their hearts - cough cough cough

Wow. Putting the rabid Clinton supporters in close proximity to rabid Obama supporters may be very entertaining. The conservative Clintons demanding that the DNC break the rules and count the Florida votes, and the elites and AAs demanding adherence to the rules and not counting any Florida votes. Never thought I'd see it. The Democratic Party is splitting apart.

All votes need to count! Every organization, government, business, school, hospital, and family have rules for stability, and fairness. The important point that needs to be noted is all rules at times are altered, revised, bent, or ignored, because of special circumstances. This is done everyday all over the word by people that have the ability to critically think issues. There is not one person that has not experienced a rule changed for them. If every vote and delegate from Florida & Michigan is not seated as the voters stated, then the world will know that American democracy is hypocritical and meaningless. Voters will not bother to vote,,,because why should they some backroom major player in the party already has who he wants in office, the process will be a sham! The Jimmy Carters of the world can stay home, and not oversea fair elections in developing countries because there is no intergrity hear, no one will want to emulate our corupt process. All votes need to count!! DNC & Superdelegates need to do the right thing,, is there any intergrity or courage left in this country or is Hillary the only one with courage and the character to represent all Americans! Stand up and be counted or do away with the system forever….because a corupt system is no system. Sad and Dissappointed in the DNC and Superdelegates.

For Hannigan and other Clinton supporters, even if she was awarded Michigan and Florida, she is still behind Obama in pledged delegates. Therefore, why should she be the nominee?

How could some Clinton supporters vote for McCain if they were against the Iraq war? If some Hillary supporters had said we willl write her name in or just sit home that understandable.

Hypothetically, if Clinton was given the Democratic nimination, do you really think that blacks, college-educated whites, young people, Independents, Republicans for Obama would support Clinton. The only way she could get the nomination would be to take it away from Obama. You would alienate most of the voters from that group. I am an Independent and if that happened I would rather stay home.

For Michigan: Give Hillary all the votes she got, give Obama none, but then SUBTRACT the number of "Uncommitteds" from Hillary's total.

"The Democratic Party is in danger in Florida." Why does HRC attract supporters who make such infantile statements? They think that if they thretaen and bully they will get their way. They've already succeeded in getting this meeting of the Rules & Bylaws Committee. If the tables were turned, there would be no meeting today.

Has anyone noticed how quite black Americans have been? The new Revelation will not be televised!!!

This is crazy. Hillary had NO problem not seating these delegates last year when it was voted to leave them out. Why didn't they just follow the rules?

NOW, since she needs the votes, all of a sudden, she wants them to count?? No, NOT buying it AT ALL.

She is truly showing me the depths at which she will go to win and it's sad. And while she claims to not be participating directly in the protest, she has no problem encouraging supporters to protest? She is watching her dirty work get done, while not getting her pretty hands soiled!

Give me a freaking break!

I can't help but wonder if BO had been on the Michigan ticket…if he would have won? And, what if in Florida he would have campaigned, would HRC even be challenging her own signature on the DNC agreement that stated they would agree and abide by no delegates?

PLEASE QUIT SAYING SHE WON MICHIGAN SHE WAS THE ONLY DEMOCRAT N O T !!! TO PULL NAME OFF BALLOT. ALL OTHERS COMPLIED, SHE DID NOT!

Shouldn't it be simple. Player A and Player B agreed to play a game called Game C with the rules of the game described to both A and B. Changing the rules in the middle of the game would be not only UNFAIR but HIGHLY UNETHICAL, dont you think so?

What a setback for the radical womens movement.

I am in Florida and want my vote counted. I was asked by the democratic party id I wanted to go to Washington. It had nothing to do with Hillary as far as I know just support for getting our votes counted.

The Hillary angle is just some more media blitz.

This is downright silly. Clinton supporters are just set on destroying their own candidate's last chance. These demonstrations just prove that the Clintons are playing the "victim" role while injecting their supporters to cause such chaos and divisiveness. It's NO wonder why Sen. Clinton is the LOSER. It's these types of "gutter" tactics that has destroyed all of Hillary's chances at the Presidency.

When you play the "spoil rotten child tantrum" people start turning you OFF and ignoring you all together.

Have you noticed that both Sen. McSHAME and Sen. Obama have NOT mentioned Sen. Clinton in any of their speeches? They have completed discounted her for the past 3 weeks. She is NO longer an issue for them, and they consider her the LOSER that she is., So they don't even give her any attention whatsoever. That should tell Bill and Hillary something.

AND the fact that Sen. Clinton's support has heavily dwindle down to nothing. Her last Mt. Rushmore media event was a total waste. She had half of her staff with her AND half of the Secret Service. There was only about 20-30 people following her and the camera men had to keep a close up as to NOT show just how little a crowd she had.

Sen. Clinton is NOT going to be the Presidential nominee. The sooner we get a grip, the sooner we can fully focus and concentrate on Sen. John McSHAME!! Bottom line.

WE LOVE YOU OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!

OBAMA '08 & '12
