Mich., Fla. could get full voting rights
Edited on Sun Aug-17-08 10:49 AM by Phred42
I was an Edwards supporter and now Support Obama.

Two days of the Clinton's at the Convention telling us how great they are - or will be (wink wink 2012 nudge nudge), a full roll-call vote and add this.

Once again the Clinton's have made it about THEM and are attempting to take it all the way. They are planning a Coup at the Convention or at least to damage Obama's chances as much as possible. They are Despicable. I will NEVER support a Clinton at ANYTHING they do from here forward. They CANNOT be trusted. Phuck the Clinton's

LANSING, Mich. — Last year, Michigan and Florida Democrats were being told they would lose all their votes at the Democratic National Convention if they moved up their presidential primaries.

Now, the same committee that stripped Florida and Michigan of their delegates for violating party rules by holding early primaries is poised to suggest those delegates regain their full voting powers when the Denver convention starts in eight days.

Michigan held its presidential primaries on Jan. 15 and Florida did the same on Jan. 29, breaking national Republican and Democratic rules that said most states couldn't hold their 2008 primary contests before Feb. 5.

Michigan and Florida, both major swing states with diverse populations and a lot of electoral votes, said they were more representative of the country and deserved an early say in the selection process.

1. Clinton has already agreed to pledge all her delegates to Obama
after the first roll call. I just heard it on the ray-dee-oh.

4. When it doesn't count. Ain't that grand?
And they wonder why he's not polling better in Florida. They had RECRORD turnout and got slapped in the face.
