As was said by one of the committee members Ickes was using political posturing. The delegates will seat and be in the convention. It is wrong to not recognize his vote to strip the delegates and now is reversing his vote and saying that Obama receive no votes in MI. Ickes point is highjacking the election in assuming the uncommitted delegates should not count and only Hillary votes. This is disenfranchsing the uncommitted voters. Second, it is polticial suicide for Clinton to go to the credential committee after she has said that she will respect the decision of the MI and FL state democrats and the rules committee. If she does not follow through with her word, it shows that she is in the election for herself and not the voters as well as having a fair process.</description></item><item><title>Florida compromise passes</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/05/31/1090985.aspx#1091056</link><pubDate>Sat, 31 May 2008 23:13:25 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1091056</guid><dc:creator>Samir Shah, Pittsburgh</dc:creator><description>Well, at least a solution for Florida, finally. &amp;nbsp;Still think Obama was robbed. &amp;nbsp;Nice move by BO for resigning today, while the attention is on Fl and Mi.</description></item><item><title>Florida compromise passes</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/05/31/1090985.aspx#1091059</link><pubDate>Sat, 31 May 2008 23:14:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1091059</guid><dc:creator>Margaret, Columbus, Ohio</dc:creator><description>A committee held rules to be more important than people. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We deserve to lose.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Welcome to the White House, Mr. McCain&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Florida compromise passes</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/05/31/1090985.aspx#1091060</link><pubDate>Sat, 31 May 2008 23:14:29 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1091060</guid><dc:creator>Paul, Dallas, TX</dc:creator><description>GO OBAMA</description></item></channel></rss>
