face it, if the shoe was on the other foot (Obama had a whole bunch of votes somewhere that weren't being counted) you KNOW you would be going on about the poor disenfranchised voters of whereever.
Face it, your great white leader, Howard Dean, shot the democratic party in the foot by threatening not to count the Florida and Michigan primaries and, now, the DNC is in a no-win situation. Despite what the Obama crowd says, there is no clear cut winner yet, they are neck and neck by many measures and there are two huge states (with lots of electoral votes) that are either going to be kicked to the curb, so they're peeved at the democratic party, or they are going to be counted, which is going tick off the Obama supporters to no end.
Go Howard!!
(and you guys think the dems are going to do much better than we've got at running the country when they can't even run a set of primaries?)
Hey, I'm an Obama supporter and I want FL and MI to have their voice heard! If a re-vote is what it takes, great! Who's gonna pay for it? The state legislatures don't want to cough up, even though the FL legislature that decided to go against party rules and change that state's primary date. I'm not sure what happened in Michigan.
Hillary wants the votes counted as is, even though Obama wasn't on the ballot in MI. As stated before, she was perfectly fine with those delegates being unseated when she thought she was 'destined' for the nomination. This is the only shot she has at the nomination: Hold her breath until she gets the votes counted the way she wants, which would narrow the delegate count and virtually eliminate Barack's lead in the popular vote. She could then make a better case to the superdelegates.
