Want to Read Some Total Bullshit Written by a Jackass

@ 11:37 PM (5 months, 7 days ago)

Probably not, but this is what one jackass at least is "thinking". Figures the jackass is a Hillary supporter. Probably gay and hoping Hillary will do her. HAHAHAHAHA

According to CNN and MSNBC "Hillary didn't win anything"...because there are no delegates awarded. Forget that Democrats turned out in droves to vote and clearly Hillary won their support. She beat Obama by nearly 300K votes. Even if Edwards hadn't been on the ballot she still would have beaten Obama.

Today people are calling this a win, a big win. No Democrat campaigned in Florida, but Clinton got the most votes by a mile. Democrats turned out in droves even thought they were told their vote wouldn't count.

Yep, the media kept calling it an outlaw Dem primary and a meaningless beauty contest... that the delegates won't count.

Or will they count?

See, the DNC voted in '06 to give special permission to certain small states to hold early caucuses and primaries, because small states require personal campaigning rather than airport rallies...which prevents politics from becoming just a contest of who has the most money for TV ads. People get to meet the candidates face to face and look them in the eye.

And the early states did their job well ...they gave us a close look at the Democratic field before narrowing it down to Clinton, Obama and Edwards.

Under DNC rules no other state could hold a primary or caucus before Feb 5. But Florida and Michigan went ahead and scheduled their 2008 primaries in January. This riled the DNC, it not only undermined the special status of the four small states, but it also meant that Florida and Michigan were unfairly squeezing ahead of the 22 states and Super Tuesday, Feb 5.

So the DNC penalized both Michigan and Florida for 'going early' and stripped them of all their convention delegates.

But party leaders in Michigan and Florida point out that such penalties have always been lifted in the past.

If a squabble ensues, the dispute will go first to the Convention Credentials Committee...then if it came to a shoot-out the floor of the convention itself would have a test vote that could decide the nomination.

Lord, if that happens there will be blood ...and you know the losing side will squawk that they got screwed.

But, it ain't gonna happen. Of course the Florida and Michigan delegates will be seated. This is the Democratic Party not the Authoritarian Party...otherwise some 2 million voters would be disenfranchised. Why in the world would Dems be crazy enough to risk alienating all those voters and give those states to the Republicans?

People kept saying Florida doesn't matter. Believe me, after 2000, Florida matters.

Hillary has done her homework... Florida, and Michigan, matter very much.

And I can finally breathe a little easier. Rudy Giuliani will never be President! Thank you Florida!
