Sure, the outcome was unfortunate, but it was caused by FL and MI flouting the process, where the results were VERY CLEAR. This is not an issue of voting rights; this is an issue of party rules that were seriously compromised by two states hoping to promote themselves above everyone else.... Reasonable disagreement anyone?

Go back over the history of what happened (like the smart ass politicians making a joke of trying to change the primary date ON CAMERA) it <em>wasn't</em> a case of the local republicans forcing the dems into something. Go look at how many dems voted against it. The Florida democratic voters got screwed by their local Democratic politicians.

I for one truly believe that Life is like a sporting event.

1. there are RULES

2. If you break the RULES a referee (judge) gets to penalize you and remove you from the event.

You mean like when Fl and Mi moved up their primaries despite being told by the referee (the DNC in this case) that it was against the rules and they would be penalized?

As a life-long Democrat and activist, I am so upset at Howard Dean. He has desroyed our party. Under the Dem. rules, "Uncommitted" go to the convention Uncommitted. The Rules committee awarded the votes as Uncommitted to be given to Obama. This is a violation of the rules (speaking of Michigan). The Sample ballot in Michigan says right on the ballot "Instructions: For the office of President, you may vote for candidate or you may vote "Uncommitted"...Write-In To vote for a candidate whose name is not printed on the ballot, write or place the name of that candidate in the blank space provided ..." How could the Rules commitee break the rules? Also, Obama advertised in a National TV buy that covered Florida, IN VIOLATION OF THE RULES. He should be SANCTIONED, according to the rules and GET NO DELEGATES FROM FLORIDA. Zero Delegates from Mich and Florida for Obama as called for in the Rules. The Rules committee and the Supreme Court are picking our leaders, not the voters. Hey Pat: Another ‘right on target’ cartoon.

Truth is that a lot of women have very long memories. They usually don't make false threats, either.

Hard?

That’s a severly gross understatement.

As BO said "I did not see it coming and I am sure there will be others like it". I will watch it happen with a degree of sadness but with absolutely zero empathy for the display of indifference.

The contrast was something I will never forget watching. It could not be any clearer why Senator Clinton is hands down the more qualified candidate. All those BO platitudes and flip flops contrasted with a very deep personal understanding of the issues that Senator Clinton posesses, laid bare the scism that is this countries future as it relates to the middle east. What I am trying to understand is WHY both spoke on the same day. It was not a good idea BO choose to look like a fool. Second that. The contrast was something I will never forget watching.
