Obama Backs Florida Compromise

I agree
The Florida compromise should go through.
Michigan should be split 50/50 or 69/59 delegate split favoring Clinton.
It’s only fair to have it as so.
Possibly bias but this would be a win/win for the Obama camp.

It isn’t right! A vote is a vote! Not some trumped up half vote.
Hillary ’08

I’ve been watching DNC meeting and Wexler did a poor job of representing Obama, and needs to back off the 50% deligate and let the DNC give 100%. You heard the crown yell, answer the question, would Obama support 100% being awarded and he skated all around, but his response was clear. If he holds ground until the vote is taken this afternoon, Obama (which I am a contributor) will lose FL and possibly the whole election once it is spun that he wanted to exclude voters. Get the msg to Obama camp now to have Wexler change is stance asap.

Rules are rules. Clinton is lucky this day even came.
In the end, the last three contests will be held, the SDs will make their choices, and Obama will be the nominee.
End of story.

Yeah – Floridians only count for a half vote each… sounds like the old south to me. Who’s the racist? me thinks it is BHO

Did you guys watch CSPAN and see the mess Wexler made, and how eloquent Nelson was. This will hurt Obama, even though I back him, and was for the 50%.

No, Clinton gets to count them as full delegates in her column but they will have a 1/2 vote at the convention.

Run as an Independent Hillary… now there is a life story that will allow you to go on the speaker circuit for years. That would teach them once and for all… Don’t mess with a woman

Count all the votes or welcome Presidnet McCain in November!
Else, let’s have votes on FL only count for half during the November election against McCain.

lets discount all the states that BHO has won by 50% …fair and square

Um no, Neil. I was speaking directly to and about you. No apologies.

I dont’ believe for one second that Hillary would benefit from an Independent.
That move ‘could’ elect Barack Hussein Obama! I just can’t sit by and allow that to happen with my vote!
If she isn’t the democrat nominee, than I have to do what I must, vote against Obama!
Hillary ’08 or Anybody But Barack!

A BHO voter is someone who reads “Audacity of Hope”. An anti-BHO voter is someone who understands BHO”
- paraphrasing Ronald Reagan -

Krissy – I believe you are correct. It’s nice to see a Clinton supporter that isn’t deluded and can see the facts.
I also respect your opinion and respect your right to vote as you choose.

This has to be run better next time. Obama needs to make sure that if he has opposition in the 2012 primaries that the rules deal better with the screw-ups that Clinton-era leadership created.

Yourall sexist against barack obama causer you want a woman to win, hillary ixs no angel. Im voting for balack obama cause i like him. once you vote black youll never go back. besides the demographic is changing the kids of today are the voters of tommorow and they are more open minded to race. So in the near future it will be much harder to elect republicans once the racist 60′s types no loinger are around to vote there racist minds.

It has to be half a vote otherwise we will be going through this fiasco every election cycle. Personally I don`t think either Florida or Michigan should count, elections where candidates aren`t
allowed to campaign and make their case known is not democratic. American Idol at least lets them sing before people vote.

Seating of Florida & Michigan and the allocation of delegate SHOULD NOT impact the outcome of the Primaries!
The United States stop being a monarchy a long time ago, over two centuries ago.
This means that no candidate should be awarded an election ‘victory’ without any campaigning on the ground, but based SOLELY on the prior POPULARITY OF HER HUSBAND!
If Democrats of Florida & Michigan are unhappy with the Republican leaders in their State’s agenda, then Dems of Florida and Michigan should cease the whining to the DNC and America; go back to the citizens of Florida & Michigan this November; and WIN BACK THE STATES’ GOVERNMENT!
It is obviously that the Dems of Fl & Mi were played by their GOP counterparts.
Notice that the GOP of Fl & Mi settled their Primaries amicably? There is a reason for that.
The witty GOP of Fl & Mi move up the Primaries and settled with their National Party in the hope that the Dems will be in dissension. lol

Krissy K, say goodbye to Mrs C as a national candidate in the future. Most people I know, spit now, to get bad taste out of their mouths when her name is mentioned. She wont be VP.
Her negatives are now down near Bush the traitor.

Ellen,
I sympathise with you.
I’m not an American, so maybe have a slightly nore rounded world perspective.
I can tell you that Neil is how the world percieves the average Americans. Boorish, unintelligent, not wanting to debate but shout down and insult. Basically a dumb bully. I think it may be an insult though to average Americans to label them with Neil.
Neil, my boy…understand this…the world is tired and suffering, the world does not need lobyists or the rich getting richer, the world needs a black president, the world needs a hopeful message. America needs Obama but the world needs him much much more.
You wont understand this though. You never will GET IT. So Ellen dont bother with this waste of space anymore..let him go back to watching Fox.
Vote Obama Americans…please.

Pamela – A tentative teal is already in place to seat all the delegates, and Obama is behind it. Florida is effectively no longer an issue.

im voting for mccain, im a republican, im laughing at you idiots right now, lol join me vote mccain 2008 lol de,mocrats lose every year i love it, you pedople don’t know how to unite or win.

Derek
How do you support McCain’s position allowing the CIA torturing prisoners?

Derek and Smarty
Now that McClellan confessed that the entire war in Iraq was unnecessary BUT was done as a way of getting out the vote, how do you rationalize McCain’s puppy dog tricks for Bush?
Vote for me, I’m for war because I know you rednecks eat this war stress up and I want to win the election?
That really makes sense.

look i dont agree with some of his policies but im not racist or sexist. your party is both and cannot win because you left wing crazies can’t make up your minds. Im voting for mccain and will continue to enjoy low taxes and being wealthy for 8 more years while you guys cry on november 5th that you lost an inevitable election because of your petty bickering, we are laughing at you right now and mccain is winning.

To Cquan, this am during the dnc meeting, wexler refused to answer the question, “if we award 100% of the delegates would you support that”, he kept saying he was for the presentation put forward 1st in which 50% delegates counted, which means 50% vote. Again asked if he would debate it, he wouldn’t answer. The crowd along with myself in the audience were screaming answer the question. So I don’t see a deal in the making where 100% of FL votes count if 100% of FL delegates don’t count. To Derek, are you kidding a mail in vote? remember 2000? OH MY GOD, do you really want to see the screw ups they would make? We already had the problem in this state about early mail in votes not getting counted in the primary, can you imagine a 30 day mail in new primary. It would make 2000 look legite.

To Neil 1785,. Thank GOD, The United States consists of more than two states, and our votes will also count just as those in FL. and MI will count. If you insists upon voting for Mr. McCain that is your right, the right that many young men and women were lied into defending. Therefore vote as you wish They have earned it through an administration that will continue if you and those like you support by backing Mr. McCain. However I fully believe that we, as a country has evolved enough to accept a leader, no matter the race, or gender that will restore us on the world stage. I leave it to you.

For those of you who are urging Hillary to run as an independent, have you considered that this will fracture the Dem vote and hand the election to the GOP.

TO Pam Bryd, WHY WHENEVER people DECIDE TO BLOG AND HAVE LEGITIMATE CONVERSATIONS, A SCREWBALL LIKE YOU GETS ON HERE TO BREAK THINGS UP AND DRAW what you wish was INTELLIGENT COVERSATION AWAY. You have never heard me ADDRESS IDIOTS LIKE YOU SAYING HUSSEIN. EVERYONE IGNORE you, AND KEEP YOUR COMMENTS COMING ON THE REAL ISSUES. IF WE ACKNOWLEDGE your IDIOCY, you LOWER your SELf.

Dontvote4obama,What about the Clinton, Mc Cain and Bush history and all the shady dealings and people they have been involved with? enough with the half truths.Chipo, dirty politician? how about using the highest office in the world to cheat on your wife, embarass her and then to have the audacity to say that others are responsible for Hillary’s mistreatment. Thats a dirty politician.You folks can rally and vote for Mc Cain if you want, I’ll offer this truth you will be hurting no one but yourselves. Afterall itis we who are losing our children in a senseless war, it is us, who are losing are homes our jobs and paying astronomical gas prices that are crippling this economy. To think we are supposed to be the leaders of the free world yet we allow ignorance and hatred to rule the day. When this country becomes a wasteland for the middle-class american and a playground for the rich and powerful, when you find yourselves begging for bread lets see how pleased you are with yourselves lets see how you explain to your children how you eliminated there future but hey you didn’t vote for the black guy. This is no game, peoples livelihoods are at stake. Your well being is a stake here! Look at how much it cost to buy a bag of groceries.There are no do overs why would you take pride in showing the rest of the world just how uncivilized America really is. Extreme foolishness, the act of voting for John Mc Cain over any democrat demostrates foolishness which is the very definition of insanity, no wonder we cant get past sexism and bigotry no wonder we keep putting the Bushes of the world in office this country has been overrun by insane people who would rather do harm than heal. It is my hope that the sensible and decent people from all walks of life unite against the Harbingers of Death aka the Republicans and the Clinton Cultists and cast their vote for the candidate who best reprensents our interest and can bring restoration to this nation.

What was that? hahahhahahahahhahah I know your ealier comment was a cut and past from probably some email you recieved, but this cut and paste made no sense at all. Did you have a point? Last time I respond to YOU, because again, it’s not worth my time, or others reading. Get to the real issues. I’m sure you’ve heard of some from the DRUDGE. HAHAHAHHAHA

SOUNDS GOOD, YOU ARE A HARD WORKING BOT! I hope you change and I am so sorry I bothered you!
You need to be very careful in what you assume. I am not a HIM, A racist, an idiot or GOD forbid ever going to vote for OBAMA! Nor would I ever interpret any of your posts as highly intelligent.

Are Floridians Fools? lol
The tricky GOP of Fl & Mi move up the Primaries and settled with their National Party in the hope that the Dems will be in dissension. lol
Does any intelligent American feels confident that Florida will be able to run a respectable democratic General Election this November?
Floridians rank near to the bottom in education.
That is why Floridians cannot conduct a respectable campaign.
The Federal Courts should insist that foolish Floridians take help with their national campaigns.

Listen fellow Democrats, it’s clear from the syntax used and patterns of typographical errors made that a number of the pro-McCain posters are the same person. In blogland, this is called trolling. String two to their bow is arguing for Hillary to run as an independent.
Someone pointed out that this would merely serve the Republicans and this is precisely why it’s advocated. Really, it’s their only chance of staying competitive. It would also destroy Hillary personally, which for them would be a bonus, because they’ve long hated her.
The fact of the matter is that Hillary wouldn’t dare run as an independent, and couldn’t afford to do so financially even if she were mad enough to try. Obama will be the nominee and will win what will effectively be a tow-horse race by some distance.
Repugs will be crying come November 5, and every reasonable person on the planet will breathe a sigh of relief at the end of the Bush years.

Obama is a criminal among criminal friends!
A month ago a friend of mine who knew I did not think Obama was qualified to be president, asked me what I would do if he was nominated. I replied that I would vote for him of course, what a dumb question. No more. After a month of research, I could no more support Barack Obama as the leader of this country than I could support another war profiteering Republican.
If he becomes the nominee, all the Democrats in America will be viewed by the rest of the world as either utterly stupid, or totally corrupt. Therefore, for the first time in my life, I have made a conscious decision to take a stand and not vote in a presidential election if the choice is Obama.

This was not democratic, it was dictatorial! I watched the whole debate, just as I have followed the whole warped campaign. I listened to Sen Bill Nelson and the passionate words of Sen Joiner and was encouraged, believing that the so called Rules Committee would get it right. I listened to Harold Ickes at the end of the debate, at a loss for words because of the total injustice. By this time I was broken hearted by the travesty of justice, because the decisions have totally negated the rights of the voters. You may think it’s unimportant, it’s only a primary, but it’s a matter of principle! DNC such a shame on you! I hope Hillary challenges this and takes it to the August Credentials Committee, because this has been a total stitch up throughout!

“We’re the ones we have been waiting for” – It is lines like this one that are such blatent BS that bring about such passion and negativity from people who do not support Obama. It isn’t racism. It is about a Marketing Campaign and “Branding” Barack Obama as the “Change” candidate who never gave specific details on how he was going to “change Washington” and “change America”. It is a shame that Hillary wasn’t Black and Barack wasn’t White – then maybe you could see through all this BS!

This is such an unnecessary mess.
Obama ’08.
