    Pugs , so true. This primary was no different. Our Republican controlled legislature added in the move up date this time in a bill that the Dems could not vote against. We were set up. All the NEW Democrats are mostly Republicans who switched parties . If Obama is the nominee these New Democrats will be switching back to their Republican party and voting for McCain. The stupidity of the Democratic party as followers this time is what I can no longer accept

      Nice try. Yes, your Republican controlled legislature did move up the date, but the dems didn't even try to oppose the idea. As a matter of fact, the DNC gave Florida the option to reschedule it following this and though there was no logistical reason not to reschedule, they didn't want to. So go ahead and blame the Republicans, but your pail holds no water.

          How very charitable of you, to "balme the DNC and Obama."

          First of all, the DNC made rules that Florida and Michigan broke. Strike one against Florida and Michigan.

          The DNC has the right to make these rules, as proven by the Supreme Court. That is one in favor of the DNC.

          Obama agreed to split the delegates months ago, when Hillary first started squaking. Obama himself has NO POWER over the division of votes and delegates, only the DNC can decide that. Obama complied with the rules and removed his name from the Michigan ballot. (So, how is it that you are blaming Obama?) That's one for Obama.

          Clinton refused to follow the rules and left her name on the Michigan ballot, therefore, SHE CHEATED. Clinton has created a huge media hoopla about the DNC and also has claimed that she won the popular vote. First of all, it is not true -- she DID NOT win the popular vote. Second of all, even if she did win the popular vote, it wouldn't matter, because the Democrats run a delegate based primary, NOT a popular vote based primary. Obama has already won the delegate race, and he is the nominee. Clinton knows this, but she continues to wage a war in the media, trying to manipulate popular opinion. Strike one against Clinton.

          The DNC has done nothing wrong. Their rules are the same as they ever were. Obama has done nothing wrong, and he volunteered to split the delegates and votes. It is Clinton and the scheming politicians in Florida and Michigan who are at fault here.

    I fully support what WomenCount is doing on behalf of women across the country and for Hillary Clinton. It has been shocking to watch

    alarming lack of concern for the voices of women voters




    .



    I'm in agreement with what WomenCount is doing. I think we as women need to take a stand about the shocking behavior of pundits and news media types (and now lawyers) deciding who should win the election. I've been appalled by the clear bias against Hillary simply because she is a woman (though everything but that has been used as an excuse for treating her so badly). This campaign has been an eye-opener and demonstrates the importance of women organizing as a group to work together to achieve common goals, including full equal rights and treatment in every sphere.

    The issue is as was said. Do we have a democratic process or not. Florida should count as a valid election. The voters went to the polls in good faith to express their preferences. It was state politicians and state Democratic leaders that made the choice to move the time of the primaries, and the people of Florida are being punished for what their parents did.

    Michigan is a mess. So some compromise needs to be met there. Obama did not want this issue resolved till now. Otherwise this would have been resolved a long time ago, but that would have meant a much tighter race and a whole different psychology that the Obama camp, MSNBC, and other national media outlets would have had to deal with. They couldn't have run interference for Obama is quite the same way.

    It is clear to me now that there is an agenda to have Obama be the nominee. it is not the will of the people, but the will of those that think they wield the power to make kings. Perhaps they do, but at least time it will have been a lot more transparent, and for that we can thank Hillary Clinton.

      And when did Senator Clinton have her epiphany about "every vote needs to count"? Certainly not when the rules were agreed to. Just exactly who is the "they" in the agenda to keep her off the ballot? Her campaign thought they had a lock on this election and failed to do their homework. They did not see all the people out there that have not been part of this political process before, who did not know the old rules of this game....the younger voter, the independents, those sick of old style politics....who saw the possibility that maybe there was a candidate that spoke for them.

    OK lets reverse the situation. Lets say Obama is slightly behind and that Florida and Michigan were "Obama" country , but the DNC refused to count thier votes , What do you think Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson would be saying on the news ? You think they would count the votes if it was Obama being deprived of the votes ? You ever wonder why women earn less for the same jobs ? Women get out your frying pans because you were asleep at the switch.

        My poiint is if women were organized about the discrepancies opf the sexes, maybe they could get ahead. Women are not organized as a group and therefore thier will be little to no change for women in America.

    Following rules has never meant anything to the Clintons. Whether its taking "dirty" money for the campaign or in the case of ex-President Clinton "selling" pardons or carrying on with the staff.

    As a long-time Clinton admirer (both Hillary and Bill), I was looking forward to Hillary's presidency. It wasn't because she was a woman, but because I thought she was the best person for the job. Then along came Obama. Being from Illinois, I had a bit of a head-start getting to know him. I knew people who knew him in the Illinois Senate. I had great respect for him, but didn't think he would get national traction. Through December, I assumed Hillary would be the Democratic nominee, but was enjoying the efforts of others, including Obama and Richardson. Following Iowa, I realized that Barack had the traction, could help change the dialogue in Washington, and was probably better equipped to heal the nation than Hillary. He became my pick over time. Hillary was a great candidate, but I found someone I think will be a better president for this time in our national history. He was a long-shot, but it turns out that he had a better organizaton. Given that both Hillary and Barack agreed with the DNC's rulings on Florida and Michigan prior to the voting, how could one or the other have a legitimate argument that they were being unfairly treated now. It appears to me that Clinton was beaten "fair and square." Her team's strategy had just underestimated the ability of her opponent. It is time for her and her team to root on Obama as he continues to the championship game against their common opponent. At least that was how I was raised in rural Indiana by my hero - a single mother, who would have proudly supported Hillary's efforts in a different election year.

    Hey, get a load of this.

    Today, FoxNews owner Rupert Murdoch ENDORSED OBAMA. Murdoch says that even though he is a Republican and an arch-conservative, he can't possibly vote for McCain, since McCain is "very weak on the economy."

    RUPERT MURDOCH PREDICTED THAT OBAMA WILL WIN THE GENERAL ELECTION.

    RUPERT MURDOCH IS VOTING FOR OBAMA.

    Imagine if FoxNews stops bashing Obama, and begins to support him.


    In related news, WARREN BUFFETT, Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway and the richest man in the world, came out in support of Obama recently. Mr. Buffett said that although he admires Hillary Clinton and has supported her in the past, he feels that Senator Obama will do the most good for America, and positively charge the economy.

    Comment: You can never win a game playing by someone else's rules you have to change the rules. The Clinton's are aware of this.
    I'm from Florida and come election time I'm not a proud Floridian. I wonder what will our officials do this time. Obama is right to want change, as well as most Americans.
    The world today offers us: Killing of innocent people, molesting of children. backing our boss and being called a rat when we have a change of heart and realize that the lies caused the deaths of some fellow Americans child's life, the constant outsourcing of jobs in America which is blocking the the American Dream for oh so many.
    This is bigger than The Clinton's desire to control the White House. This is about Your & my children. Now if Hillary is more important than your child go ahead fight to tear down the party. I only ask that when things keep getting worst and you lose your Dream. Don't complain remember your thoughts were cloudy and a guy who voted for bush twice tried to tell you so.

  • Posted By: pcneri @ 05/30/2008 11:43:02 PM

    Perhaps if the Clinton campaign had protested Michigan and Florida from the beginning their protest now would seem more legitimate. What looks most disingenuous is to protest now that Senator Clinton is behind in the prevously agreed upon count. As a 60 something white female, I also have waited a long time for a female presidential candidate and I think Senator Clinton is very capable of being a good president.
    However, I do not believe there is a conspiracy against her by the media or that sexism has reared its head; what seems obvious is that it has been a badly managed campaign that took for granted she would be the nominee early in the primaries and then failed to catch up when "old style politics" did not work. Now her campaign looks pathetically desperate and seems to care less about what is best for Democrats and more about what the Clintons want and somehow think they deserve.

  • Posted By: Actually @ 05/30/2008 11:39:16 PM

    Obviously you haven't spoken to many Michigan voters, 45% voted for others and that doesn't count the large percentage of Democrats that said they switched to Republican's for the day to vote in that party because Obama was not on the ballot. In the re-vote attempt the Clinton campaign wanted to disenfranchise those voters and not allow them to vote for Obama, that was why there was no re-vote. I live in the area and I have read the many news reports and letters to the editors in the papers regarding this issue.

  • Posted By: NewDem08 @ 05/30/2008 5:41:08 PM

    This is a shame. How many people in West Virginia or Kentucky openly said that they would never vote for a woman? Many of the ones who outright refused to vote for an African American were still willing to vote for a woman. That alone tells me that Hillary's mountain wasn't even close to being as steep as the one Obama had to climb. Racism is much more evident in this election that sexism. If the roles were reversed I'd be willing to bet the farm that Hillary would be fighting for Florida and Michigan to not be counted. In the end I will support the candidate, whoever it may be, but this circus is a stain on the party.

  • Posted By: tjeter80 @ 05/30/2008 4:31:59 PM

    Hillary Clinton had no desire to count these votes until she saw she would need them to possibly get the nomination. She agreed just as the other candidates did to these rules and signed her name to it. This is not an Obama choice, this is about changing the rules to suit your political needs. I am against seating any of the delegates because both states broke the rules and they knew they were doing it. Now Hillary Clinton in a last minute, desperate effort is using the cause of the "ignored woman" to plead her case and women are falling for it! THIS IS AMAZING! I can almost got for counting half of the Florida delegates because there should be some kind of punishment for knowingly breaking the rules but Michigan? How can you claim victory when you were the only one on the race track...OF COURSE SHE WON, OBAMA WASN'T EVEN ON THE BALLOT! He played by the rules througout this process and got his delegates the right way not because Hillary Clinton is putting on a show and breaking the rules to get what she wants he may be penilized. Yea sure this is the president we want...another politician playing with the truth and breaking the rules.

    • Posted By: News and Notes @ 05/30/2008 5:18:39 PM

      Obama played by the rules because they worked in her favor. Hillary is advocating for the 850,000 Florida democrats who voted for her on January 29th.

      • Posted By: ginamlaster @ 05/30/2008 11:38:18 PM

        So you're saying that Obama would have cheated if the rules hadn't worked in his favor? Okay, let's assume that makes any sense at all. What about the people who actually believed that their party was being sanctioned and did not vote? They couldn't have known that this would happen, and took it on good faith that there was no reason to vote. No one seems to worry about their being disenfranchised. They did not get to vote for Edwards, Biden, Obama or anyone else because they were "foolish" enough to obey the rules and didn't campaign there. Those voters have no voice at all and no one seems to care. This isn't just unfair to Obama voters but to all the other candidates as well. Why isn't Hillary advocating for all the voters in Florida, and not just the ones who voted for her?

        valadezaj -- No, that is not what the DNC is doing. They are trying to enforce the rules--rules which Michigan and Florida were aware of when they tried to break them. I cringe at what all this is teaching our children who should be taught to win, lose or draw on their own merits. Anyway, not only will Hill not be the PRES, she won't be returning to the Senate either. Burning bridges by lying (misspeaking), race baiting and attempting to cheat are not attributes I want in my Senator. Under the circumstances, Obama has been a gentleman. There is/was a lot of Hill crap he could have used and didn't/hasn't. As I said in another posting, the Stepford Wives need to re-examine their motives.

    This is why women are so often labeled as back-stabbing conniving manipulative b___!. HRC signed the paperwork and took the oath not to campaign there and has recorded comments that she knew they would not count because they broke the rules. Just like a woman to whine about it without acknoleding the facts. It is what it is. What about all the women who didn't vote because they knew it wouldn't count and couldn't afford to take time off from work. You clearly demonstrate the type of women who are supporting HRC and those who don't. I work hard to teach my son to follow the rules and suffer the consequences of his actions, I get to be the cheerleader and the disciplinariian and work full-time; I don't have the luxury of taking time off to be June Cleaver and cry about the mistreatment of women. Obama knows my situation because he was raised by a single parent; a woman who truly stood her ground and knew how to be a strong woman without whining.

    Hillary is a conniving, vindictive, dishonest person. How these women can't see that, I don't know. These are probably the very same people who sat in front of their TVs nodding like good little drones when King George told us all that Iraq had WMD and Saddam was sleeping with bin Laden. At this point, the smart Dems are trying to get rid of her because even the Republicans know she's their best hope of winning the White House again. Karl Rove hasn't told the truth a day of his life, and any analysis he puts out in support of her should be a 800-ft red flag. Then again, she is very much like the Republicans that 51% of this country know and love.

    I am a 29 year-old white woman--who is sick of beginning every comment with that phrase--and I am voting for Barack Obama. These women do NOT speak for me, and damn them for monopolizing the name "women" for their political agenda. These are idiotic women who cannot see the world through a different lens than the one between their legs. This is not about democracy for them. This is about revenge. There are women DYING and being abused across the Middle East, in Africa, in Asia, yet they would rather funnel their feminist outrage into this shoddy mess of a campaign in debt that continues to beg them for money and continues to fuel their outrage with inaccurate and leading statements. These are women who claim they would rather vote for 4 more years of the GOP, for a man who voted against equal pay for women, for a man who is against so many women's rights, for a man who promises to keep us stagnated in a war while our sisters and brothers are dying...
    I am a 29 year old woman, and these women do not speak for me. Unlike them, I am free to CHOOSE who I vote for--and I choose Senator Barack Obama.

      Thank you Bonnie. You are the hope of the women's movement. The thoughts you expressed are the ones that brought so many of us into the feminist movement back in the 1960s. There were real domestic issues then -- classified ads were segregated by sex and women couldn't even apply for many jobs. Women couldn't always get credit in their own names. Women couldn't buy a car or a house without a male co-signer. But along with those issue, many of us also felt a sisterhood with women in so many nations who had to struggle for mere survival. The movement was about educating women, to educate subsequent generations; providing women with the means to make a living; overcoming cultures in which women were little more than beasts of burden. Now the overwhelming problem is that rape is an instrument of war in many nations. There is no issue worth the rage of feminists in this campaign. Disappointment, maybe. But rage? Come on -- there were elections. One candidate won; the other lost. That's what happens in elections. Pull on your big girl pants and get over it. Life will go on. And there will be another woman who will run for the presidency. One with integrity and honor. One who votes her conscience and not the polls. One who has risen to positon through her own efforts and not by association with a husband or a father or an uncle or a brother. I just hope I'm around to vote for her. I know you will be, Bonnie.

        As an African American woman, I'm sick of this. Woman in this country means white. I have three masters degree and one PhD. No less than four times when I've gone on job interviews for jobs in my field have I been redirected to jobs in the secretarial pool. Twice by white women. I've never interviewed with an African American. I understand your pain, but I'm going to let you have it. My experiences and many more like them that have been experienced by African American women underscores why black women did not flock to Cliton. Your struggle is not mine.

          Obama doesn't represent your struggle either, but in my opinion he is exploiting it to his advantage

      Bonnie S. I so agree with you. The thing I find so puzzling is that they are picking this fight over a woman who is so unworthy of the fight. I resent being told that as a 60 something white woman that to vote for anyone other than Hill is to sell out my womanhood. Huh? This is the primary reason I never joined NOW or any of the woman's groups as they believe in group think/speak/vote. IMO Hill has lied ("misspoken"), is now attempting to cheat, has gone into massive debt after spending hundreds of thousands of dollars and has race baited. How on earth can any woman (or man for that matter) want someone like that as president? It is so demeaning to women to watch Hill with all her negatives and with 6 out of 10 people considering her untrustworthy, whine about how she's not winning because of sexism. Well, give me a good quality woman with some integrity and I'll run all the way to the polls to help crack that glass ceiling.

      I can't help but wonder if much of Hill's support is coming from that same 28% that still thinks Bushie is dong a good job or from that same mentality. Instead of demonstrating Saturday, the Stepford Wives need to read What's the Matter with Kansas to better understand why they are demonstrating against the best interest of themselves!! By the way, I will not be voting to send Hill back to the Senate either and that vote will be in my best interest (60's and white!!).
