“We’re voting McCain because Hillary agreed to the DNC rules in 2007, now because she’s behind in the delegate count, she’s throwing the rules out!” What a bunch of children.
Someday history will write that, “Harriet Christian, from Manhattan, is credited for starting the group called The Colorado Seven.”
I was too young to fully enjoy the 1968 convention. It’s great to have a chance to relive the chaos.
Sore losers, just like their candidate.
ron paul didn’t win. i’m voting for the communist party! that’ll show you!
Obama is Ted Kennedy’s fault. This is the same loser that brought the Dems: John Kerry, Mike “Da Tank” Dukakis, and Himself(damaging Carter in 1980). He can’t stand to see the Democrats move away from New England(and Kennedy history) to become an actual national party. The Republicans have essentially become a regional party(the south) and an uncompetitive Democratic party refuses to play hardball to take advantage of this fact.
Even now Obama’s people are putting it out that Hillary has damaged him so “if” he loses it in November it will be all her fault. Boo Hoo Hoo.
Rahm Emanuel positioned the Democratic party to win in ‘06. He did this by being aggressive, and running “unconventional” candidates. These candidates were not straight-jacketed to the positions of the Democratic establishment.
Doesn’t it seem weird that, since Johnson, the only Democratic presidential winners win over the opposition of New England Democrats? Or that the most promising candidates are destroyed by these same people?
Indeed, this was written in the stone

How do you figure that the Republicans are a party of the South: just because Bush I and II are from Texas? What about Reagan (CA), Dole (KS), Doles’ running mate Kemp (NY) and Cheney (WI,NE)?
I almost forgot potato boy Quayle (IN).
Harriet is still feeling guilty about that night in Dick Cheney’s frat house in 1964.
Was that Geraldine Ferraro in the video or her sister?
#10 – You mean potatoe.
I don’t understand the people who say that “if my candidate doesn’t get the nominations, I’m voting for the Republicans.” – I’m sorry, but don’t the issues and the candidates stance on them stand for anything? I mean, Obama and Clinton, agree on about 90% of most issues, and where they differ, it is only in their take on how an issue should be approached and handled. If they weren’t so similar, they wouldn’t be in the same party. But to vote for McCain if your candidate of choice doesn’t get the nomination, well, that’s just plain stupid in my opinion. Do these people not care about the issues? Are they only about the “cult of personality” behind Clinton and Obama? Can Someone Please Explain This Thinking To Me? I just don’t get it.
“inadequate black male”?
thats one ignorant racist bitch right there…the republicans will be glad to have her.
Oh please. Aren’t you capable of doing anything other than repeating conventional wisdom? Do you do that in the tech world?
In one state, the Republicans had to shut down a delegate convention because there were too many Ron Paul supporters. A former Republican is running on the libertarian ticket. McCain is running away from Bush. Where are the stories about division within the Republican party?
No one cares about the Republican Party.
They’re all basically pissed off because Hillary wasn’t allowed to steal all of the votes from Michigan…
Here’s what the Clintons wanted – 73 delegates for Hillary and 55 for “uncommitted.” That split conforms to the actual vote results, which were 55 per cent for Clinton and 40 per cent for “uncommitted” (again, since Obama’s name was not on the ballot).
What the committee agreed to was a different compromise proposed by the Michigan Democratic Party that gave Clinton 69 delegates and Obama 59.
Hold your horses, said Ickes. He contended the compromise “hijacks” four delegates outright from Clinton and awards 59 delegates to a candidate who no one actually voted for in Michigan.
On its face, this complaint seems reasonable. But here’s Obama’s argument. His campaign argues the Illinois senator deserves those Michigan delegates because the election was flawed and the actual results could not be construed in any way to be a fair reflection of support for either Clinton or Obama.
Many Michiganders who backed Obama cast ballots for “uncommitted” – something even Clinton’s own representative at the meeting, former U.S. ambassador to Canada Jim Blanchard, noted in his presentation to the committee.
Further, some Obama supporters may have voted for Clinton since his name wasn’t on the ballot. Others still voted in the Republican primary since Obama wasn’t on the ballot.
To paraphrase Obama supporters: The Illinois senator should not be punished for playing by the rules. At the time Michigan and Florida voted, their primaries were null and void. Nobody thought they would count, including Clinton, who said so on New Hampshire public radio.
AND
the race is on…
ALL rules are GONE..
Infighting and back stabbing is OK..
Murder, Lies, assignations, abound…
And still…In the end, the next president will be a Scape goat..
And in the end..
BOTH parties will get to say..
“See, we TOLD you so, Blacks(or Women) cant run this nation”
Not to mention that these fools keep saying that they have been “disenfranchised” because Hillary wasn’t allowed to steal the Michigan votes.
These idiots sadly, don’t seem to understand the difference between a political party’s nomination process, and a general election. The DNC could choose it’s nominees by throwing darts on a dartboard, if they so choose.
It becomes more and more clear, every day, why this country is in such a mess.
This is just Dems being Dems. They’re loud, bitchy and… dare I say? …cranky. And they argue vehemently more with themselves than with anyone else. If you’re a Republican, or a non-political American anywhere in the mainstream, you might think the Dem Party is tearing itself apart. But they’re not. They’re just being Dems.
They’re still going to win big this year because the numbers and trends are way in their favor. As for all those feminists who say they’re voting for McCain? Don’t make me laugh… BO is going to say “Roe v Wade” and “Supreme Court” and “hundred years in Iraq” and McCain is going to sink like a the lead candidate that he is.
I can only speak as an observer in the Great White North, but from my perspective, Hillary’s biggest problem was that she ran, like the nomination was owed to her, and was appalled that Obamba would challenge her. Where as Obama, just ran a campaign.
Is it possible that these women were planted there by the republicans to throw a wrench in the way this event would be covered?
Both FLA and MI ignored the party when told not to have their votes on the days they did. Why should the party suddenly have to count these votes? If you don’t follow the rules, you pay the consequences.
Obama better watch out, the Clintons put a bullet in poor Vince Fosters head, and he was a friend. Just imagine what they’ll do to the black man who “stole” her spotlight.
Beware the Clinton Political Machine, it’s makes the Republican one look like a bunch of church ladies.
LOL- oh, these comments are hilarious. Glad you guys liked my video
Potayto, potahtoe… whatever
#14 One word. Racism.
I dont understand the “Denver” chant. I know that is where the convention is, but WTF, you chant the name of the city? I think the democratic party has become the party that focuses on issues that do not matter to people.
Why should rules matter to Democrats? If they can put Frank Lautenberg on the ballot after the deadline, then why can’t they give Hillary 73 delegates and 55 uncommited, as the original Michigan election revealed?
What about the disenfranchisement of all the people who find caucuses too difficult? Hillary has clearly been the choice of Democrats this year.
BTW, what does Hillary’s win in PR make to this rift?
Jägermeister: Ohhh, that the BEST VIDEO!!
Republican plants.
#33 a new chapter of a game I like to call “Theory Vs. Reality”
I don’t get it.
I’ve been a citizen of Florida all of my life. My wife and I even preferred Hillary (at one point). Even so, Florida BROKE THE RULES and moved the primary before February 5. They even had 30 days to respond to a warning about breaking the rules before they got penalized.
They did nothing.
So, the votes were taken away….last year. There was no media snafu. I saw no demonstrators. Nobody was screaming about an injustice. By the time the primary happened, I had already become an Obama supporter. Regardless, I was under the understanding that the votes would not matter because the delegates woult not be seated — votes not count. As such, I did not vote. Most of my democrat friends did not vote either. If we’re told 6 months in advance that we’re not going to be able to have primary that counts — who on earth thinks that those who did turn out are going to make for a fair and accurate vote?
There are two legimate ways to do this: 1) Run a new primary in Florida (Not going to happen — the Florida DP has shut that down)
2) (The true fair way) Leave the votes as is. The vote is heavily tainted by voter non-turnout because many voters paid attention and knew that it could affect nothing either way.
…
Get over it!
#33, Republican plants?
You give them too much credit, besides the Republicans want Clinton to run against. With Obama they’ll have to deal with him playing the race card. They already know how to go after Hillary, and get away with it.
Why are you all so eager to credit Obama with votes for Edwards? I know Edwards endorsed him, but that doesn’t mean he should automatically steal those delegates. Hard to think a candidate will do well when he can’t beat a guy who’s been out of the race for months by more than 20 points.
This just keeps getting better and better.
Never in my wildest dreams last year did I think that any Republican candidate would have even had a snowball’s chance in hades of having an actual shot at winning the presidency in 2008. W’s poll numbers had been a HUGE drag on all the GOP’s candidates.
What a difference a year makes!
To #14, Senseless Babble: Thought crime legislation, untenable double standards for discourse and behavior, and splintering national “narratives” had been created solely by the Democratic party and its enablers in the media. This atmosphere suited them just fine when it was only applied against Republicans. I would like to think that this Obama/Clinton nonsense might lead some on the left to finally see the problems inherent in the identity politics approach.
I’d like to take this time out to thank the Democratic Party for their embarrasing amd continual ineptness. It’s restored my faith that the Democrats will always manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

#24, #35:
I’ve said it a million times: whether you’re a parent or a political party: don’t dole out punishments that hurt others and yourself more than it hurts the ones who actually did wrong. The Florida and Michigan conventions broke rules. The only ones really hurt by the DNC’s punishment are (potentially) Hillary Clinton, and most importantly, citizens like you and me who had nothing to do with MI and FL’s decision. This is a de facto part of the electoral process in this country, and people have a legitimate expectation to have a voice in the primaries. Absolutely inexcusable on the part of the DNC. How could they not know that their myopic, retarded, petty “crack of the whip” might have created chaos like this? How could they not know that this would at the very least create ill feelings from Florida and Michigan Democrats? (Don’t forget, the Republicans took away half their delgates, which is about half as retarded as what the Democrats did. They’re just lucky the Republican race wasn’t as close.)
The DNC has no one to blame but themselves: the DNC is a principal who gave the entire fourth grade detention because their teacher broke a school rule.
Besides, who really should give a shit that FL and MI voted early? Who did it hurt? Why should the DNC even care? It was a meaningless flex of the biceps by the DNC. There is absolutely NO good reason. It’s already a circus; changing the dates a few months in advance of any or all of the primaries can’t conceivably ruin anything. Unless someone chooses to forcibly ruin it themselves.
Thank you Howard Dean for being a moron, once again.
Another example of Hillary having squarely behind her the dumb white racist crowd.
Even if hillary had gotten what she want she a losser.
#35 showing that the Dems have no rules to follow and that indeed, Florida is a Whacky state. Is this ruling a taste of what the new Dem goverment will be? The US is so royally screwed!
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
holy crap harriet is not using a walker!!!!!
#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.
OK, they are half votes, but I still have heard an explanation of why Barack Obama is entitled to delegates won outright by Hillary?
#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.
It’s OK to give Obama some delegates, but why ones that Hillary won? This amounts to the DNC overruling the results of an election.
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.
