Title: Daddy's Report: Obama needs to be concerned about FL, MI
Post by: Tre on February 17, 2008, 06:45:48 AM

There's a chance that Democrats in MI and FL will be going back to the polls and although neither candidate campaigned in those delegate-rich states, both were won by Clinton. 

While I don't necessarily agree that the 'fake primary' results should count, I DO honestly believe that the residents of those states should have their voices represented at the convention. 

This also calls another, more serious issue to the fore - how the self-avowed 'party of the people' can disenfranchise so many of its own voters with a mere keystroke. 

That should not be legal in America, no sir.

Regardless of what the candidates agreed to, the fact remains that no one - like the DNC - should be given the authority to say to a group of people 'your votes don't count'. 

I'm ok with setting aside the 'fake election', but the people of those states should be given a fair and proper primary.

They broke the party's rules and were aware that this could happen. T

hey have the option of running a new caucus or election to elect new delegates.

Read what happened to Ron PAul in Lousianna. It will make your blood boil.
