    Wexler was repeatedly booed by the Clinton supporters in the crowd for his evasion when asked whether or not Obama would support a full restoration of all the Florida delegates. Wexler for partisan reasons was actually arguing (however much he wanted to wrap it in BS) that half of the Florida voters be disenfranchised. Obama has turned this honorable man into an ass.

    • sonia

      but u see –he still never answered the question clearly.May be thats why he supports Obama as both never have a answer . Always need press conferene.

  • sonia

    Why obama,s guy was yelling.

    Yelling does not prove you right or wrong ,but only makes you look like an ass(obama,s ass)

    The Obama supporters, including Donna Brazile, are saying that they want rectification for those disenfranchised by not voting because they thought their votes wouldn’t count, BY DISENFRANCHISING THOSE WHO DID VOTE.

    That’s EXACTLY what the Supreme Court said in Bush v. Gore–make up for disenfranchisement by disenfranchising more people.

      Absolutely correct.

      Donna Brazille and Wexler are arguing the BUSH 2000/James Baker argument, and thereby DISENFRANCHISING those who actually DID vote.

      It’s absolutely despicable.

      The DNC will see a mass exodus from their membership roles if this is allowed to stand.
