<p>[Obama</a> says give Fla. and Mich. delegates full vote - Yahoo! News](<a href=“http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080803/ap_on_el_pr/obama_delegates;_ylt=At5VMDP5L8PR9_evDxOiXQNh24cA]Obama”>http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080803/ap_on_el_pr/obama_delegates;_ylt=At5VMDP5L8PR9_evDxOiXQNh24cA)</p>

<p>This guy is a piece of work. I am so happy that I didn’t buy into the hope and change baloney.</p>

2

<p>He really is.</p>

3

<p>How about saying that a few months ago? It isn’t big of him if he isn’t giving up anything.</p>

4

<p>Like Offshore drilling, The One was always for it. Let us see how his supporters spin this move.</p>

5

<p>I am not sure this guy has the fortitude to handle the job as a commander in chief.</p>

6

<p>What a ******bag. I rarely say that about politicians, but this guy takes the cake.</p>

<p>Unity is important. Enfranchisement is too. How convenient that after he wins, unity and representation become important when his victory was the only thing that mattered before. And now he swoops down from the heavens, a savior to a shattered party…The ONE indeed.</p>

<p>Oops…Didn’t know it was censored. My fault!</p>

7

<p>What a sleaze. Does anyone still doubt that he’s just a garden variety (megalomaniac) politician?</p>

8

<p>^We’re in the same area, but neither of us is indicative of the average politics! Anyway…</p>

9

<p>Could they still vote for Hillary at the convention then?</p>

<p>Not sure how the nomination process at the convention actually works. There is still some vote involved, no?</p>

10

<p>He was going to win anyways. He would have had more delegates. Anyway, Clinton is also calling for fully seating these states too.</p>

<p>Regardless of who won this was going to happen. I remember Chuck Todd talking about this way back in like March or April. You guys need to get with it and learn about how government and politics work; otherwise you’re going to keep getting suckered into caring about things you don’t need to and not caring about things you need to.</p>

11

<p>Yeah, pretty terrible thing to actually keep his promise:</p>

12

<p>Purely laughable.</p>

13

<p>

</p>

<p>The DNC (aka 3rd world bannana republic) is not allowing Clinton’s name to be placed before the Convention for a vote.</p>

14

<p>

</p>

<p>But, you miss the point. If Florida and Michigan had been counted from the start, Clinton would have been the nominee back in February. The whole game was to deny Clinton landslide victories in two huge delegate states (Michigan and Florida) which would have given her unstoppable momentum.</p>

<p>Why do you think Clinton supporters are so disgusted? The fix was in.</p>

15

<p>Not to mention that the “full vote” for Michigan includes the delegates the DNC took away from Clinton and awarded to The One as part of the fix.</p>

16

<p>Well I’m sure John McCain would be honored to have the votes of the Clinton supporters. And gee whiz, they might even like some of the stuff he’d do while in office - like get our country out of the energy crisis we’re in (w/ the plans outlined in The Lexington Project), streamline government so it runs more efficiently & effectively w/out wasting money (leaving more $$ for other needed projects), and wisely overseeing the resolution of the War in Iraq & developing the best strategies for Afghanistan.</p>

<p>Clinton supporters could probably live w/ that, right?</p>

17

<p>McCain will get a signficant percentage of Clinton voters. An equal number will stay home in November.</p>

<p>McCain could help his cause immensely if he would throw some maverick bones to centrist Democrats, particularly softening his language on social issues.</p>

18

<p>this was planned to happen from the start, it’s a political formality.</p>

<p>For people who claim to know something about politics some of you are pretty dissapointing.</p>

19

<p>

Define “start”. I would surmise that it was never deemed to have happened “from the start”. In fact, it was only deemed to happen after it had “finished”.</p>

<p>Get your facts straight, InterestedDad. Clinton has AGREED that her name will not be placed in nomination at the convention.</p>
