did you catch this line?
"This body of 30 individuals has decided that they’re going to substitute their judgment for 600,000 voters — now that’s what I call democracy,” said Clinton adviser and committee member Harold Ickes, saying the Michigan plan would be “hijacking” delegates from Clinton.
so even though the comittee has resolved this, clinton will continue her campaign of hypocrisy. waaaaaaaaa.
pelosi needs to step in and s her the fu
Yes.
Know what I call democracy? Having more than one damn name on the ballot when voting. They should be grateful that the disaster that is Michigan's primary is even counting at all. The idea that Obama should get no delegates because that's "what the voters" said is sheer, lopsided bullshit. They had no option becides Clinton. This isn't Cuba. One option in an election is bogus. They basically want to penalize Obama for playing by the rules.

on a somewhat unrelated note, I really do think Puerto Rico should become a state.
And there's no real reason it shouldn't. But, what I hear is political pandering by Mr. Clinton. As well as hearing the neocon response to a state that consists mostly of merxican speakers getting up'ty. All it really comes down to is people thinking that 50 is a nice, round, democratic number.

Well, it's unfortunate you think so little of my position. But, there is no doubt you've been paying attention to what Mrs. Clinton says, and how she says it. It's often that she attacks the person over the position. I guess I strike you as someone who is easily led around by the nose. I'm not saying he appeals to the lowest common denominator, I'm saying she tries to. And never once did I say you were the lowest common denominator. And I can also see the possible clouds on the horizon. I have no doubt that anything positive accomplished by a possible Obama administration where Mrs. Clinton serves as the VP will be attributed to her.As for the popular vote, I seem to recall her standing on the steps of capitol hill after the 2000 election, promising to lead the fight to do away with the electoral college. I also see it is still in effect
I did not address your position. I addressed the notion that because Barak Obama does not appeal to the lowest common denominator that he does not approach voters as if they are idiots.

Telling me I support Mr. Obama because I'm being led around by the nose is clearly a statement on my preference in this election.
And more often than not, Mr. Obama does not speak down to people. This is perhaps his greatest weakness. It's one of the main reasons Mrs. Clinton calls him an elitist.

One need look no further than his most ardent and over-zealous supporters who cannot address how he will solve their problems, yet are being lead around by the nose by waning rhetoric.

He does not appeal to the lowest common denominator, but he no less approaches voters as if they are idiots than does any other politician.
