Another example of Hillary having squarely behind her the dumb white racist crowd.

Even if hillary had gotten what she want she a losser.

George L Smyth says:

I’m still trying to figure this out. Florida and Michigan knowingly made the decision to not have their votes counted by not following the rules. Now they are complaining, even though they are being allowed to have their votes being counted as half votes. Were I in charge I would have kept with the rules and shut these states out, otherwise, what is the sense in having rules?

2000 – Nader
2004 – Swift Boat
2008 – Clinton

#42, this is not what the DNC did. For Michigan, they did not give out half votes. They gave Obama 4 delegates previously won by Hillary as well as all of the uncommitted.

Mr. Gawd Almighty says:

#45, Lyin’ Mike

… but I still have heard an explanation of why Barack Obama is entitled to delegates won outright by Hillary?

You just don’t get it. You haven’t heard an explanation simply because you are too busy promoting McBush.

Obama did not contest Michigan or Florida as the DNC had already stated that those States were outside the rules. It would be unfair to give Clinton all the delegates when many people stayed home instead of breaking the rules. Giving Obama some of the pledged delegates only evens the total. Making their votes only count for half punishes the State Leadership.

Maybe next time Florida and Michigan won’t act so much like Republicans and actually obey the rules.

Rick Cain says:

Don’t worry, Hillary will land on her feet no matter what happens.
America has a hard time electing a female president because its a backwards redneck protestant nation with a small collective penis.
