Fla. Dem Party said in Aug that winner would intercede at Denver conv & make delegates count

Edited on Tue Jan-29-08 08:38 PM by ursi

snip...

Karen Thurman, chairwoman of the Florida Democratic Party, said in a late afternoon conference call with reporters today that she intends to go ahead with the state�s primary on Jan. 29. Even if the Democratic National Committee follows through with its threat to take away Florida delegates, she says she believes the nominee of the party will intercede and allow the delegates to be counted at the party�s nominating convention in Denver.

Hillary obviously knew this. Why didn't Edwards and Obama?

4. They stand by their pledges to Iowa and New Hampshire

Hillary's the one trying to have it both ways (AS USUAL).

"Oh yes I believe in Iowa's right to be the first in the nation caucus ... "
"Oh yes I believe in New Hampshire's right to be the first in the nation primary ..."

Yes, she'll agree not to "campaign" in Florida but when it comes down to it, she wants to break her pledge and get the delegates anyway. She's SCARED TO DEATH that she'll lose that support between now and the convention, otherwise she'd just let the delegates be selected later, as they're supposed to be per the rules SHE AGREED TO.

8. I heard several months ago that eventually the votes would

count and they would get there delegates counted. Now if I heard it some of you had to have heard it too. I think you are just trying to keep it from coming true because BO didn't win. Just more of the same old stuff coming from the BO bunch.

9. BO Bunch? What is that?

Yes, I heard it. From Karen Thurman who repeats it over and over.

Dean actually said it would be up to the eventual nominee, and that is about all he has said. It will be, but ONLY if they are the "decided" nominee with no doubt.

Florida will not count toward choosing one.

I don't appreciate your assigning motives like that to me.
