Vote Count Carnival

By the way, I'm really over making a big deal about Obama's middle name. He didn't name himself, he had no control over it.

Concerned Canadian, Glad you're concerned, but wild-eyed anarchy won't help a bit. As they say, burning the village to save the village doesn't work. Pulling together is really the only viable option at this point.

JFK ..... " Ask not what your country can do for you but ask what you can do for your country ! '

Fight for your country...take back your right to vote...overthrow the DNC...overthrow Hussein Obama...do what is best for your country !!

McCain top advisor Gram has millions in a bank oversees with ties to big oil companies, he is now being investigated This is going across our news as we speak. He can't win in November because he is contridicting his policies, he cant run as being tough on Isreals because he has ties to lobbying, along with Cheney, more to come
Comment: Another fact- Cheney has contracts in Iraq that goes though the next 10 years that will provide more prisons, oil shelters and much more, wow that's a BIG reason not to pull our troops, this company of his is making MILLIONS- just thought you all would like to know this info, stay tuned more coming out.

But there were signs that, at least here in the heartland, Clinton supporters did not bear animosity to Obama and will vote for him as well.

"I think he can be a leader," said Karen Schaefer, a retired elementary school teacher. (Hillary supporter)

Democrats moving forward......

sjpersonal Are you Nancy Pelsoi you sound like it with your ranting and raving lunacey about the DNC Senate etc... You better check to see if they are still around after this election., for all their blundering and kiss azz.

They knew the rules going in. The elections were not going to count. They went forward anyway.

The Clinton camp is screaming to make every vote count. Well, what about the votes of the people who stayed home because they knew the state parties were breaking the rules and the election wouldn't count? What about their votes?

The only way to completely fix this mess is to do it over and make the state party pay for it.

Who cares why anyone supports anyone? The issue here is whether the dems of two states deserve to have their "votes" counted. These people knew when they went to the polls that it was supposed to be moot. The party reps in FL and MI decided that for the voters when thet went against pary rules. Sorry folks, this is not about emotions; its about rules. You break the rules, you don't get to play.

I am a life long Dem but Dean's Clinton hatred for Bill not supporting him has ruined the party. I will be forced to vote for McCain rather than an unqualified, anti-American Balck liberationist. Obama just doesn't get it; it's not about color it is about his lack of qualifications and his lack of judgment. He is a joke and I wish that more americans respected the office of the president so that they would not put a 10 year cocaine user, (according to his own book) up as a candidate for a responsible job.

Here is a post I wrote when I first heard that the Clinton Campaign was SPONSORING the demonstration outside the hotel where the Rules Committee was meeting (the Clinton Committee withdrew its announcement of such sponsorship about the time of my post - cound someone have actually read it?):

"I???m an Obama supporter, but here are some words for the Hillary supporters who want to demonstrate in Washington on May 31 at the site of the Rules Committee meeting. Don???t do it.

"It???s a no win situation. The Rules Committee knows you are out there. But they can???t possibly change what they intend to do by your presence. Imagine if they did, and someone found out (it will be on TV!). At the next crucial juncture of the nomination process, Obama supporters who don???t care to be one-upped will certainly be there; you will be, too.

"Picture that, if you will.

"I sincerely hope no organized group of Obama supporters show up for the Rules Committee hearing Saturday, out of fear that the Clinton supporters may gain some edge. The Obama campaign has this figured out - they are advising their supporters NOT to demonstrate at the Rules Committee Meeting, and instead to help with democratic voter registration. Apparently the Clinton campaign never figured this out.

I"f I???m Nancy Pelosi or Howard Dean, I would have given serious consideration to an announcement that any candidate or his/her campaign committee who encourages a demonstration that might interfere with the orderly deliberative processes of the Rules Committee will not be engaged in an activity that can possibly be helpful to the Rules Committee or the Party and may be subject to sanctions. But maybe it???s too late for that."
