Breaking News: Michigan, Florida delegates seated by the DNC. Hillary wins popular vote!
It was just announced that one half the delegates to the democratic national convention will be seated, from Florida and Michigan.
This leaves Hillary with the popular vote and Obama with the delegates most likely.
More than likely then Barack Obama will have the democratic nomination by identity theft and deception.
Obama did not reveal his anti american and disrespectful background in his Trinity Church south side Chicago connection.(a la REV WRIGHT )
IF HE GETS THE NOMINATION HE WILL BE WEAK IN THE GENERAL ELECTION even with the hated President George Bush. Obama's lack of honesty about his roots and background is most unsettling.
He if he gets the democratic nomination will he fall victim to the famed Clinton scorched earth scenario.
Maybe he deserves this, Hillary Clinton is way ahead in general election polls against John McCain.
Who in their right mind would vote for a guy for Prez who flip fops and cannot make up his mind on flag lapel pins? Presidential Election 2008 is a mess!
Howard Dean Screwed it up as he has done in most every position and situation he has been involved in. Who were the insane folks who put him in charge of the DNC?
It was just announced that one half the delegates to the democratic national convention will be seated, from Florida and Michigan.
I'm not 100% positive but my understanding is that 100% of the delgates would be seated but each would only be counted as 1/2 a vote.
The Democratic Party apparently doesn't think much of the people of Florida and Michigan. Apparently they are not even worth 3/5ths of a vote.
What happened to the mantra, "every vote should count".
I remember that mantra...That was entire diffrent election.

It's rather easy to win the popular vote in a state in which your opponents names aren't even on the ballot wouldn't you say?
Is Rev. Wright offensive? Absolutely, but he did, in many of those clips that are being lambasted as unpatriotic and racist, tell the truth. If honesty is anti-American then I suppose I fit that bill as well because in many instances, I do agree with what Rev. Wright was saying. Not all of it, but he had it right quite a bit more than we like to admit.
Do I support Obama? No. I don't support Clinton, McCain, Paul or any of the third party candidates either. I'm just tired of people sensationalizing and freaking out when they haven't even done research beyond listening to the same clip over and over. How many of those who are screaming about how evil Wright is have even watched the clips in their entirety? Looked back at many of the events he mentioned? Looked up the Ambassador he was speaking about? If you want to scream evil, ant-American, etc, etc, etc, fine... but at least have the common freaking sense to look at the issue, listen to the speech and do the research in it's entirety first.
There is nothing more infuriating that knee jerk reactions by people too lazy to look it up for themselves. And I'll end this minor bitch with the note that I'm not talking of you specifically, just people in general.

ARG! 'people in general' are the reason I stay inside most days and tend to socialize online (here) instead of risking contact with knee jerkers.

Oh they wont vote for the fish they will vote with the black man that has audacity for hope and nothing else. His background of only voting 'present' is what makes me fearfull of his leadership/ followership skills needed in a pres.
Does this mean you are a Hilary supporter?
I heard that made me mad as hell at these irresponsible voters. A reporter asked an older lady why she was voting for HIlary. The woman replied "because she is a woman". That is an even dumber reason to want someone.
I think both the D runners are evil social mongers, but that is just me.

and truly believe that OBAMA just resigned his church membership because he knows the more that will be revealed!
I can respect that. Like I said, my bitching was directed in regard to those who don't do the research and then freak out.

Are going to get annother great lesson in disfunctional Democracy once more.
Hillary will lose if she steals the nomination through tricks like this.
I can't say Obama has shown us much, but he is the only major candidate that does not disgust me...maybe he hasn't been arround long enough. He will win though if the worst 'dirt' they can find is a politically incorrect preacher in his closet.
Hey this is great. Yesterday I just visited a site which was discussing about the same topic. All were supporting Hillary .at that moment itself I just got it clearly that he is going to win .any way it was quite obvious right. So obama left with the delegates. That’s fine
