DNC on hot seat over Florida and Michigan

[Psycho4Bud]

A Democratic National Committee spokeswoman brushed off questions today about what to do about Florida and Michigan, states which Hillary Clinton won, but which held contests that weren't fully contested and didn't award any delegates.

Spokeswoman Karen Finney said on MSNBC that the state parties could hold "do-over" votes or submit proposals to the credentials committee for the national convention to get the delegates seated. "Both options are still on the table," she said.

The Florida and Michigan Democratic parties were penalized for holding their primaries before when the DNC allowed. The candidates didn't campaign in the states, and in Michigan, Clinton, but not Barack Obama, was on the ballot.

Clinton has been increasingly lobbying to have her wins rewarded, arguing that Democrats can't afford to disenfranchise two states crucial to the party's hopes in November.

Finney also said that another 10 states are still to vote, suggesting that the nomination could be decided without having to settle the Florida and Michigan question. "We certainly want to let voters have their say," she said.

Do the alienate these two states that would possibly push the vote to the GOP candidate? Do they do a "do over" that will piss off not only Obama but his loyal fans? Clinton sure would like to see it happen.......

Just when the Dems seem to have a foot up they fall on their face. LOL...like kids in a sandbox.

Have a good one!:s4:

From what I can tell, the only people loosing sleep over this are the Democrats?:wtf:
Dems are the ones that first raised this issue, they are the ones talking about it primarily, so who is the "conspiracy industry"?
Is it ok to not count votes? As far as democrats are concerned in this election? That's kind of funny, see it's already starting!:S2::S2::asskick:

HA!
I sleep just fine!

This kind of obviously desperate finger pointing over a long settled side issue can only help Obama.
Thank you for your support!

LOL...so to hell with the millions of Dem voters and Hillary supporters; a party united!:thumbsup:

Hey, it's the Dem party whining.....nothing to do with the GOP except for being a spectator sport.

Have a good one!:s4:

it's the desperate attempt to make a conspiracy out of this that I find so humorous.
"Millions of Hillary supporters"... Priceless! :jointsmile:
And the idea that this somehow puts the DNC on the "Hot Seat".
For what??? The issue was settled before the voting began!!!!
How does Hillary's whining put anyone on a hot seat?

Sorry, just a million votes between the two states.

Well, if somebody or organization said my vote didn't count at all I'd be a bit pissed. Especially if my candidate wasn't elected because of it.

Like I stated, this isn't a GOP problem or "conspiracy"....it's ALL within' the dark corridors of the DNC. :thumbsup:

OOOOOOH! Scarry!!!
The dark corridors of HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I can't even type it without busting a gut!!!
Did you know that it was the DNC who decided not to allow those states to participate???
That they agreed BEFORE the election to change the dates of their primaries, with FULL KNOWLEDGE that their votes would not attach to any actual delegates?
How 'dark' is that corridor?
Hillary whines.
Conspiracy theorists drool.

Yes I do.

They sure did!

And the DNC considers a flip-flop.

"Spokeswoman Karen Finney said on MSNBC that the state parties could hold "do-over" votes or submit proposals to the credentials committee for the national convention to get the delegates seated. "Both options are still on the table," she said."

Seems that the DNC isn't quite as set as you on the outcome. I'm sure Obama and his loyal fans will understand completely.

Have a good one!:s4:
