Seriously....Clinton says that Iowa and Nevada are undemocratic by how they vote through the caucus system, but Michigan should count even when Obama's name wasn't on the ballot?

Is this the United States or the USSR?

jim haddix, ann arbor MI — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 15:25:27 GMT

Yes. Damn well told. I live in Ann Arbor Michigan. 'Everyone' knew that it was a beauty contest because it had been made plain in the papers that the Mich Dems had tried to buffalo the DNC and had their butts handed to them. Our primary would not count. For the first time in my life I didn't vote in a primary (and I'm 62). Having our own governer try to claim it was fair was disgusting.

Whatever is done, they MUST take fairness into account and give us a second vote or not count us.

Al Sharpton should just go away. The ONLY ONLY ONLY reason he's sniping is because Obama lost Florida. Facts: Both were on the ballot, neither campaiged, although Obama ran tv ads in Fl, and Clinton did not. There was a record turnout, so the idea that people didn't vote is ridiculous. I voted for Obama in my states primary, but the likes of Al Sharpton, whom I just can't stand, are about enough to make me regret my vote.

Despite what you may think of Sharpton, he is correct. There were many voters that did not vote in the Florida and Michigan contests. Just look at the totals of the Dems vs Repubs in both states. Repubs had far more turn out, which is completely out of the norm for this season. A lot of us Dems stayed home.

Many Clinton and Obama supporters stayed home, because we were told it didn't count. Everyone's vote should count.

This is insane. I don't like Sharpton, at ALL, but he does have a point. FLA should just be barred from all elections since they seem to screw up everything at every opportunity. I don't think they should be allowed to be seated and I think it is shameful that Billary wants to go back on his & her promise(s). Not the first for them but this is just blatant disregard for the rules. She'll do anything to win and that's how we got stuck with the "devider".

He is absoulutely right. Florida and Michigan's dumb as rocks governors created the problem, caused many supporters to stay home, and prohibited campaigning--that's Hillary's real "firewall." How pathetic. Do a redo and have the governors pay for it and man-up to their own stupidity.

I don't see how Al Sharpton will be able to prove that people did not vote because they were told their votes would not count. Millions of people voted anyway; and anyone can say, I did not vote because...

The black supporters and left-wing Democrats are fearful that Hillary will win larger percentages in Michigan and Florida on a revote because Obama does not want to count Florida and Michigan and he has made that clear. It is also Obama's fault for taking his name off of the Michigan ballot. So much for his good judgement. Now, they want to whine again!

I don't like Al Sharpton at all but he is absolutely right on this one. Many people did not vote. Personally, I voted in the Republican primary since Obama wasn't on the ballot here. I figured I'm better off trying to influence the Republican primary by voting for Romney (the Republican I hate the least) rather than vote for Uncommitted in a Democrativ primary where my vote wouldn't count.

We know why Al Sharpton is posturing right now. I do agree that there should be a revote (mail-in sounds good to me). However, I don't think Sharpton would be out there if Obama has won FL and MI.

Just because HRC will not roll over and die for your candidate does not mean she wants to destroy the Democrats.

You might regret your vote for Obama because of something Sharpton is doing? Sounds strange to me.

There is no limits to their lust for power. In that, they are no better than the Bushies. If, based on the way she is acting now, Hillary steals this nomination, I will not vote in November. That is a measure of how disgusted I am with her tactics.

This is an inter-State problem and we should not be involved in coming up with solutions or paying money for a "do-over". They can vote (or not) in November during the General Election.

What about the people who voted for John Edwards or other candidates who have since left the race -- their votes do not count either! Do we conduct a "do-over" for other states as well?

Ted Joe,Kansas City, MO — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 15:42:40 GMT

I am one who does not believe that there should be any redo in either Florida or Michigan. The State parties there knew the consequences yet their choice was to continue. The Florida story about it was a republican legislature and governor is simply bogus. Both state parties wanted a larger say so they could benefit from it. It cost them but they knew the rules and now want to change them. Clinton's campaign was quiet until it became obvious that they were not going to steam roll to the nomination. They thought they would have it all wrapped up and then could offer to seat the delegates because it wouldn't matter. All in all just another way that her and Bill will do anything to win, even if it means disenfranchising millions of new voters to the party who will become disillusioned with the democratic party and therefore the party will lose a huge base upon which to build.
Bottom line for the Clinton's is win at all cost and explain what the meaning of the word 'is' later after destroying what could be a new beginning for the party. Worst however is the number of so called super delegates who refuse to take a stand against them because of fear. No wonder Congress has such a poor public approval rating the members won't even stand up against these type of tactics, that is why they can't stand up against Bush regardless of his pathetic record. At least he has a backbone unlike the democratic superdelegates.

I've never been a fan of Sharpton, but I do agree with him on this. I live in Michigan and did not vote because we were told our delegates would not be seated. We were also told Obama's, Edward's etc. names would not be on the ticket. There was advertising for us to vote uncommitted, but that was to protest the process. Never was it said that a vote for uncommitted was a vote for Obama or Edwards. Seating the delegates based on those results would be unfair on every level.

Hey don't blame Obama....the only thing he and Sharpton have in common is skin color. I mean I know they all look alike (sarcasm) but to think that they are on the same page is ludicrous.

Also I can't believe I am defending Sharpton (hey even a broken clock is right twice a day) but Florida is the only state that didn't have more Democrats vote them Republicans and a great many DID stay home because they knew their vote wouldn't count. But Sharpton is just trying to stay relevant in a time when no one cares what he has to say anymore.

CLINT-ROVIAN — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 15:46:07 GMT

THE CLINTONS ARE ASSUMING THAT THE VOTERS ARE STUPID, UNTHINKING, ILLOGICAL MORONS!!!

People - stop for a moment and look at the parallels with Bush-Rove Politics:

1) Hillary has started to use the fear card - she has not said or shown anything that conclusively proves that she has the temperment, the judgment or the RELEVENT experience to "answer that 3am call" NOTHING, yet we are supposed to vote for her because she showed a scary ad and said she was qualified without showing use any substance behind that claim - CLINT-ROVIAN

2) She has taken on the tactic of repeating a lie over and over and over in the hopes that if she does it enough, the voters will believe it is true. Bush called this "catipulting the propaganda"

Example:

Propoganda: Barack (the FRONT runner) should agree to be her running mate. Fact: SHE IS LOSING

Propoganda: Hillary has "35 years of experience" Fact: she has 8 years (I'm being generous) of experience in elected office, and Obama has over 12 years of experience in elected office

Propoganda: Hillary wins the states we need to win the election.
Fact: Hillary wins a lot of big blue states by very small margins (except New York, her home state) that would go for the Democratic nominee anyway...as for Ohio and Pennsylvania - they are not going to vote for free trade McCain -- on the other hand -- LOOK AT OBAMA'S VOTE TOTALS in the red states they are extraordinary, he appeals to young voters, independents, and even some Republicans (who are not voting for Hillary to help their party) He could put more states into play - this job is the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES - not the President of the blue states....that is the problem we have NOW - George W. Bush acts like he is the President of the Red states only...do we really want to continue this???

3) Hillary is trying to change all the rules in the middle of the game. NOW she wants to disenfranchise those people who came and caucused.

4) Her political career, like that of George W. Bush and Carl Rove, has been wrought with scandal....I could go on and on and on...

Voters of Mississippi, Pennsylvania and all of the other states yet to vote - Please PROVE HILLARY WRONG!!

The dem party has to be very careful in its move. Trying to help Hillary will hurt the party. You will see that. Hillary will not be elected. 75% of Obama supporters will vote against her because of what she has been doing.

While I actually agree with Sharpton on this issue, I think he is the worst messenger. Talk about divisive. Most people have a visceral reaction to Sharpton. People who are against Obama will try and use this to link him and Sharpton. I think it's time for Sharpton and Jackson to bow out. There are other voices out there.

Back to the delegate issue, bottom line Michigan and Florida broke the rules, no matter how stupid those rules were. The power brokers knew the consequences before hand and still moved up their election. I can't help but wonder if Obama or any other candidate had "won" FL and MI would Hillary be so hell bent on getting those delegates seated? She is willing to win by any means necessary. I don't think it's fair to seat the delegates as is. Either do a re-vote or split them 50/50 and don't count the popular vote. What's the point in having "rules" if people can break them and there are no consequences?

I am tired of MSNBC reporting that Hillary won Texas. Most of your shows say Obama did not win. Keith Oberman reported this weekend in Texas (as I was in Houston, that Obama won the Texas Caucus this week and therefore OBAMA WON TEXAS. When are you going to stop spinning the news for the Clinton Criminals and their unseemingly vindictive and do-anything to win ways to get votes.

How is Clinton more electable - she was first lady and that was it.

And as far as a RE-DO - The US doens't get to "re-do" Bush's war in IRAQ, we do not get to "re-do" dropping bombs on other countries, we do not get to "re-do" the economic jam that we are in, and Clinton or McCain do not get to "re-do" the decision to give Bush the Ultimate power that he got to take us into war and absolutely ruin our economy and our standing in this world. This is not hopscotch or jump rope - this is our country. What is this telling our children - that it is okay to do something that we know is wrong because "oh yeah that's right son - you will get to "re-do" your decision". Decisions made to allow a re-do and allow superdelegates to pick Clinton will result in a McCain election. There will not be an Obama VP so stop talking about it. People are tired of Clinton and their shady dealings. That's why Obama is getting the votes. Many will stay at home or vote for McCain in the general if Clinton wins this thing.

It's time somebody speakup and stop Hillary from manipulating things her way. Some people didn't vote, candidates didn't campaign, DNC banned their delegates and a high percentage of voters were uncommitted. How can anyone in their right mind call it fair to accept Hillary's demands. She is basically trying to defranchise a section of the voters and also twisting the verdict of those who voted for her in the absence of a competing candidate. A re-do is the only option. Since when did we care about 10 to 15 million dollars to do a voting thing right? Hillary is clearly trying to steal the election one way or other.

Sharpton threatens lawsuit over FL, MI

David, Clyde, Texas — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 16:55:26 GMT

From what I have seen, Hillary Clinton did not have a problem with the Michigan and Florida primaries being disallowed by the DNC until she saw that this is the only way she could sort of catch up with Obama. Obama did not even stay on the ballot in the Michigan primary, and relatives of mine in Florida said they neither heard nor saw anything of or about him there before the primary was voted. The wisest way to straighten this whole mess out is one of four options. One, let the DNC's decision stand, and not count the Michigan and Florida delegates. The leaders in Michigan and Florida knew the rules for their Democratic primaries. The DNC told them that they could not hold a Democratic primary before 2-2--8. Two, Have the primaries in both states completely redone at the states' expense. This would be the most fair way overall, because bothe Hillary and Obama could present their case to the Michigan and Florida voters; then have the primary. Three, split the delegates 50-50. This might be fair also, because Hillary and Obama are basically running neck and neck. Four, make the Michigan and Florida delegates all superdelegates just for this election, and let them decide on their own. Fifth, apportion the Michigan and Florida delegates according to the current nationwide total popular vote in all primaries that have already been held. Hillary won big in Michigan because Obama took his name off the Michigan ballot. She won big in Florida because Obama did not make much contact in any way with the people there, according to my relatives who live there. I personally think Hillary will not want to do any of these five, and instead try to get the Michigan and Florida primary results as they stand as of now. She knows this is the only hope she has of possibly catching up with or getting ahead of Obama.

Mary, Boston MA.

I live in FL. I have news for you. The TV I receive is Cable. It is not a FL only station. So if Obama ads ran on TV it was from the national media

With regards to Hillary campaigning here in FL. Again you in Boston, and I am originally from that area, have it wrong again.

Hillary DID campaign here in FL on the Sunday prior to the primary at the Lucky Strike Lanes on South Beach.

She was in addition standing outside the lanes holding a sign that stated in part "We want a president that can keep a promise."

Please if you are going to report on campaigning here in FL get your facts straight.

I do not pretend to discuss campaign issues as pertains to MA as it has been a few years since I lived there.

However I do agree that Sharpton should stay out of it and the DNC should abide by the rules that were originally set down.

However I will say as an Independent I would have changed my affiliation and voted but that would have been an exercise in futility since our votes would not be counted. We did have a very important Amendment that was on the ballot. And yes I voted on that because it COUNTED.

Look. This is very simple.
- Obama has won more Primaries than Clinton.
- Obama has more pledged delegates from Primaries than Clinton (do the math and this is factual)
- Obama has more Caucus wins than Clinton
- Obama has more overall pledged delegates than Clinton
- Obama hs more overall delegates (including Supers) than Clinton
- Obama and Clinton have both won 7 swing states. Of these 14 total swing states, Obama has more electoral college equivalent than Clinton
- By the rules of the part and rule of law, MI and FL were stripped of their delegates. There should be some type of revote or fair system to seat them, but they should not be seated as is since it opens up rule violations in subsequent years and is unfair to the parties. If a revote happens and Obama looses, so be it, but do any Clinton supporters really think that HRC wouldn't cry foul if Obama had won these states? Be rational. Some voters were disenfranchised and didn't vote because they knew the vote would not count.
- Obama has more votes than Clinton in the Primaries
- Obama has more votes overall than Clinton
- Obama has won more contests than Clinton

The process will go on and if Clinton takes a lead, other arguements can be made, but what part of 'behind in the contest' does Clinton not understand. Their manipulation of the story and media is unreal. We've seen the Bush administration spin stories in their favor to go to war and the like. Is this what we can expect in a Clinton administration?

Hey guys,shake your anchors and their talking head guests awake!
Anyone who can't see why Sen. Omamba could not EVER be part of the Billary administration doesn't get him -- or his campaign message.

Hillary may try to co-opt his core campaign points "Optimism, Decency, Hope"; she may try to bribe her rally goers with her latest "I may soon have a surprise for you.Wouldn't it be great if Sen.Obama was my Vice President?" Wink, wink.
She may pretend she's winning and hope if she says it often enough, she will create some momentum. Actually, he is the winner to date. (and online professional gamblers are giving odds that he will win the nomination against McCain but that she would not win the presidency if nominated. just an interesting aside)
She may get her billionaire pals like NJ Governor Corzon to try to buy the Fl and MI elections for her, but all this says one thing.

Their core values as people are diametrically opposed. The Loch Ness gal is just trying to co-opt his campaign. But it's nice of her to make clear that she thinks he will be able to answer HER red phone with no problems, as long as it's hers, thank you very much.
Please, please love our country enough to stop playing REality TV's Survivor and give us the "information we need to govern ourselves in a democracy." (Meicklejohn quote to Congress) And please be more respectful of our first African American presidential candidate. The world is watching. MRS JEB

Hillary wanted this and this is what she gets. And yes Fl & Mich broke the rules. Hillary was pushing for this. I never heard not once Obama mention we should count Fl & Mich, real leaders follow rules. Like I tell people Bill had something right about Hillary, she never goes down without a fight, now that's a first for a white woman.

Rev. Sharpton, wondering what side you are favoring. OBAMISTAS, again, another PILE of "everyone is against us" crap. Sharpton and OBAMA are typical POLS with an agenda. They have conned many of us "little folks, including entire staff at MSNBC.
Obama and minions have a simple agenda: nomination at any cost. Unlike Chris Matthews of MSNBC, I am not a "cadveral-obedience" grouie. Chris, get a life and become a hon-partisan journalist again.
I once favored OBAMA. In seeing his paranoid complaints. his whing, his superior condescenging attitude, I changed.
I am a "minority" member. I do not have to vote for another minority member. BO, too bad, you started believing the MSNBC hype that you were the second coming. You are not. You are gifted POL, nothing more, nothng less.

But, sleazy Hillary went ahead with full intention to be able to use it later on if she was falling behind in the campaign trail. Now, she's trailing behind HAE wants the votes to count.

Randy, Long Beach, CA — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 18:11:30 GMT

I agree with anyone (yes, even Al Sharpton) on the point that is would be outright WRONG if Michigan delegates were seated as is. No other candidates besides Hillary Clinton were on the ballot. So, a re-do MUST occur there. However, Florida is a different issue. All candidates names were on the ballot, and not candidate campaigned there. Therefore, the playing field was completely even, so it is plausible to seat the delegates as was voted on their primary date.

Now one might argue that many voters did not go to the polls in FL because they felt their vote would not count, but you cannot argue that there was a greater number of Obama voters that did not go to the polls over Clinton voters (or vice versa). But, you could still argue that these same voters would have gone to the polls if they had known that their vote was actually going to count (the main basis now of the idea to have FL do a re-do too).

A mail ballot is an interesting idea, and I think it will help provide a little more legitimacy to this entire process.

Florida is a no brainer. The votes and delegates must be awarded/seated as is. Both candidates were on the ballot and both obeyed the rules by not campaigning there. Therefore, both were on the playing field/ in the game under the same rules. Howard Dean (an Obama supporter) says this wouldn't be fair because it would be a disadvantage for Obama since Clinton had name recognition. Floridian's are not that politically inept as to not have known who Obama was. There had already been many televised Democratic debates and Obama had already won states prior to Florida's Primary. Florida's Primary must be awarded, as is, instead of costing millions to redo a Primary where both candidates were on the ballot and obeyed the rules. To appease DNC/Howard Dean's mind set, Michigan should revote as a caucus instead of a Primary because in caucuses, Clinton has the disadvantage as uncontestably proven by the Texas 2 step. Clinton's base of working middle class and seniors are limited by the two hour framework of a caucus. This solution would ensure all the voters' voices of both states be heard, wouldn't cost outrageous millions, and would be a fair balance for both candidates.If DNC/Dean still states this wouldn't be fair to Obama, then let's revote every prior caucus as a Primary to be fair to Clinton. The only other fair solution, would be to revote both states as Primaries--but no one wants to pick up the cost. Mail-in ballots is unacceptable, unfair, because seniors are vulnerable to the kind of fraud that can take place through the mail--which unfairly disadvantages Clinton since one of her core bases is seniors.

I have never been a Sharpton fan but he happens to be right on this issue. I doubt he asked Obama's permission to make any statements. To suggest that becuase he spoke out that it in someways indicates that he will run the country if Obama is elected is just plain stupid. Will Limbaugh run the country if McCain is elected President? Hillary knew the rules and she broke them. Period. Use any racial profiling you wish, but Hillary is trying to steal the election becuase she is behind in every category and doesn't have a shot at winning playing far. There is no racism in it.

Al Sharpton has always been a loudmouth moron seeking the limelight. For 20 years, he has been a public buffon. From his 1987 leadership of the Tawana Brawley hoax (15-year old African American girl who was found in dumpster after being missing for four days wound up accusing six white men, including cops, of raping her), which vaulted him into public consciousness, to his less-than searing analysis in 2007 of Mike Nifong, Duke lacrosse players' prosecutor ("I know this DA is probably not one that is crazy. He would not have proceeded if he did not feel that he could convict."), Sharpton has shamelessly made a fool of himself.

In this instance, he shows his fundamental ignorance of how the law works. To sue someone else, a party must be aggrieved. That means, one has to show that, as a result of the actions of the defendant, he suffered harm of some type as a result of some action by the defendant or defendants. Neither Al Sharpton nor National Action Network can show that either suffered harm because some voters in Michigan and Florida didn't vote because they thought their votes wouldn't count.

In the end, it's just dumbbell Al struggling to get noticed yet again. When will idiots like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton stop foisting their alleged leadership on us?

Al Sharpton needs to stay out of business he doesn't belong in. I am a Democrat living in Florida and I took the intiative to go and vote on January 29th - even knowing that the vote could possibly not count. Why did I vote? Because I knew that something like this would happen. I can't speak for Michigan, but if individuals in Florida decided not to go vote because there was the possibility that their votes wouldn't count, that was their CHOICE to make. All candidates had their names on the ballot here and everyone had the opportunity to vote for the person they supported.

You'd think that after 2 Presidential Elections, the DNC would have realized the importance of Florida's votes. Instead, they chose to play chicken and look at where they are at now...scrambling to fix this fine mess they've gotten us into. Great job, Mr. Dean!

I digress...Al Sharpton needs to mind his own business and let State party leaders fight it out with the DNC.

And by the way, there will probably be individuals out there saying I'm a Clinton fan and that's why I'm arguing the position of counting the votes already cast. Wel, sorry, I voted for Obama, which didn't do too well here, but fair is fair.

I think that a lot of people on this thread are very closed minded and outright racist. Its not about Obama playing the race card, because he never aligned himself with Jackson or Sharpton.

I think that many of you on here need to face the reality that at this point the race has come down to being played dirty; mainly because Hillary lost her pledged delegate lead and is looking for the superdelegates to put her over the top.

As so many leaders have said; if that happens we can all look forward to another four or eight years of W the II in John McCain.

So stop always making everything a black and white issues and learn to accept that we are all different and each of us has a voice, once we cast our vote.

Seriously, the way that most people act in this world makes me proud that I don't have children yet and furthermore makes me doubt wanting to have any to come into this mess.

Ray from Cape Coral, Florida, you are wrong to blame the republican congress in Florida for this mess. The Florida democratic legislature failed us. The early voting bill was introduced not by a republican but a DEMOCRAT. The bill was tacked on by additional language to prevent voting fraud i.e. paper trail. I'm not sure how much fraud can be combatted by holding a primary on January 29th and not February 5th...seven calendar days. No one expected Obama to make it this far. Many of the democrats thought Hillary had the nomination wrapped up before a vote was cast in the primary season. Now that Obama has given her a run for her money, look at the mess the democratic party is in. Don't blame Al Sharpton for speaking logical truth. Florida and Michigan broke the rules so WE (I say we because I'm a Floridian and understand the facts before I post misinformed blogs) should suffer the consequences. The candidates all knew that Florida and Michigan would not count. Obama has not complained about this problem, only Hillary is voicing her complaint with the spin that she cares about our votes being counted. She's clearly losing and will do ANYTHING (as she stated in the last debate) to win. Don't be bamboozeled, Hillary doesn't care about the democrats, she cares about winning by any means necessary. Even if it means tearing the democratic party apart by staying in a race that she can not win legitimately. The people have spoken and they have clearly chosen Obama over Clinton. Would Hillary care about Florida and Michigan votes if she was winning? We all know the answer.

Doesn't anyone remember Janet Reno, Waco, Ruby Ridge, Elian Gonzalez, Vincent Foster, Juanita Roderick, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky,the Travel Office fiasco, Whitewater, the pardons,the technology to China, the Hamas political contribution to Hillary's Senate campaign (supposedly returned), the theft of White House furnishings, etc., etc., etc.,. Why can't everyone see that the Clinton's are power-hungry politicians who will promise anyone anything to get elected. The Clinton's only accomplishment while in office was the total and complete division of this country. This devisiveness can be seen in the current Clinton campaign's in-fighting. Please do not take this as an endorsement of Obama. He is apparently just another snake-in-the grass politician, also. I am not a big McCain fan either. Let's face it. We are screwed again!

As a taxpayer in Florida during a year where school budgets are being cut because of poor revenue, I am unwilling to pay for anytime of re-election unless the DNC pays for the cost. The Democrates knew the rules and chose to vote or not vote. My daughter is a Democrat and she went to vote because of the constitutional amendment on the ballot. If the other Democrats stayed home then they chose not to have their voice heard on a very important issue on the ballot, why is their voice important now?

Why is there such a flurry of messages linking Obama to Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson? They have not been regular fixtures out on the campaign trail... they have not appeared to be counselors to the Obama campaign. To infer that Sharpton and Jackson will be running the country and getting "rich" as indicated in earlier messages is - to coin an Obama phrase - silly season in politics. Obama is an intelligent man who has the capacity to motivate and engage a sleepy U.S. public and inspire much-needed change. Let's stay focused on the real issues of the campaign and not let the actions of peripheral folks take us off course.

If the whole purpose is to seat the delegates from these two states, why go to the trouble and expense of a re-do election. They technically shouldn't be seated because they broke the rules...when you break the rules you aren't supposed to get rewarded...right? However, if it is such a big deal for them to be seated, why doesn't the democratic committe just divide the delegates equally for Obama and Clinton and move on with the election!!!

You may not like his stances on social issues but he's voicing how many people feel about the handling of this FL, MI voting mess.

I didn't think it could get much worse than the two elections that the Bush administration stole, but this one is getting close. I really don't think that people understand what is going to happen in this country and all over the world should Obama win this election. I really don't think that Obama is as popular as he is being made out to be by the media. I just don't think the American people are that stupid. What I do think is that this primary is being funded by a people other than the Americans. The political powers of Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and other third world countries would be ecstatic if Obama wins this election. Wake up America....our country is being taken away from us before our eyes and we are too afraid of offending someone to stand up for ourselves. Obama is doing nothing but making empty promises. Things will change here alright...for the worse. Let's take our country back!!!

I'm in Canada so seeing how convoluted your system can be is rather frightening because the results effect the entire world but only a tiny number of Americans are really deciding these things. You guys should make a point of not voting for anyone featured prominantly or positively in your media. If U.S. mainstream media says they're a viable candidate it means that they are psychopathically ambitious ladder climbing backstabbers with no morals whatsoever.

To all you Clinton People, Al did not say he is on the Obama bandwagon so don't go around saying this is a race card.

Fred Jackson, Atlanta, GA — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 02:48:22 GMT

People please stop and think for one moment. People don't like Al Sharpton and if that's the way you feel about him well that's your choice.
This is not a publicity stunt. This is correct a error on the part of two idiot governors.
One resides in MI and the other lives in FL and the DNC had stated 18 months prior to the elections that if these two state moved the primaries before the slotted dates that their delegates WILL NOT count.
If you notice they didn't say it might not count, that's a big difference in those two statements.
So if anybody wants to get mad make sure you direct your anger at the right people. By the way Al Sharpton has NOT endorsed Sen. Obama or Sen Clinton.
Since he has been netural in this campaign anybody who makes a simple minded statement about he crying for Sen Obama or some other derogatory statements needs to research all of the facts first before you blog and make youself look dumb....

If the DNC had ruled that the Florida and Michigan vote should not count because of their failure to abide by party rules, and both Obama and Hillary had initially agreed to abide by that decision, why is anybody trying to go back to an election that was disallowed by the Democratic Party? The only thing that is needed now is a redo.

As to when a state can have a primary? This is not rocket science: No rules and we can have the primaries for 2012 next week. Obvious answer: ALL primaries/etc. should be on Super Tuesday. Oh golly, half the politicos just fainted - sorry!! Way too simple, too much common sense, quick - call for help...

If Hillary and her supporters actually stuck to issues, instead of using personal attacks all day long, it would be a better campaign. We need to dump Hillary and her supporters for their old-school attack tactics, and obviously send some back to grade school... (and yes, I'm being ironic about the personal attacks while attacked mary personally).

Jack Clark — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 03:29:39 GMT

MI and FL should not count.... it was a pre arranged agreement BY THE DNC that they would not count. Al Sharpten has ALWAYS been on the side of rightousness and fairness, wheather you agree or not. AL is dead on piont with this one. I cant even understand why the Hillary camp is even considering changing the rule now...(maybe because she needs all the help she can get) proving to me that she is still the same ole politican who really dosent care about FAIRNESS and Keeping her word.

And if you think that sharpton is repulsive, i wonder how you would have felt about DR. King?... Seeing all those BLACK people marching, only because they couldn't be treated as equals must have been very SCARY...Kind of how Blacks feel when they see the POLICE

Here there is a very bright line of what is right and what is wrong... but since AL brought it up FIRST (that they would try and change the rules..and now they really are)it must be wrong.

Pay ATTENTION to what is going on and not skin color... I know its hard

keep in mind AL has not endorsed BArack nor HILLARY but i guess since he is black yall just ASSuME he is with barack

wake up America.

Hillary /clinton and her crew have no honor. It is sad when you have to stoop so low by lying and cheating to win an election. I will not vote for anyone if she wins. The media is just as hypocritical. they smile when she wins and make weak excuses wwhen Obama wins. He won 12 States in a row and they tried to make a big deal when she won 3 out of 4. It makes no difference if a State is large or small. All States and all voters count. I had some favorite newscasres on CNN and MSNBC, but this election shows very clearly the ones who are untrustworthy and incapable of being unbiased in honest their reporting. Many may not like Al Sharpton or Jessie Jackson but they do bring to our attention blatant unfairness of your reporters, they will make a stand and bring situations to the attention to the public. I really resent the fact that you think your viewers are stupid.

We all need to quit whining amd BTW if "Hillary" does steal the vote, as democrats we might want to ask ourselves why our party has "super delegates" in the first place, for those of us not familiar enough with our own parties politics, it was just for the reason you want to fear that they were put in place. They were instituted and put in place just in case us, the citizens of the democratic party, "failed" to put forth a candidate that the democaratic hiearchy "feels" can beat the republican candidate, because as usual "they" know better then us about who can and who cant win, so much for one person one vote, after this election season I'm going independent

White people are scared of blacks.

Icannot believe how much time you people spend name-calling and hating!?! Absolutely no one is digging for facts about the unknown candidate. You hate Hillary because you have been brainwashed to do so by the gossipy and lying media!! But,either because of race loyality(by my people), or because of the need of white people to clear hundreds of years of guilt, no one wants to take a real dead-on look into this man's life and past!! There may be little or nothing there, but ,are we so weak-kneed and unintelligent that we will simply let charisma and street smarts allow us to elect someone to the most important office in this country?!! What has he actually said, beyond promises of "HOPE"? Not once have I heard a REAL plan. The smile is gorgeous, I will admit, but it won't get us jobs, send our children to school, etc. You are going to feel mighty stupid if you find out that Hillary is an angel compared to him. Grow up ,do your own indepth research and stop basing your opinions on other's twisted hang-ups and hatreds!!!

No matter what you say the rules are the rules and Fl. and Mi. knew what was going to happen when they wanted to change the rules so lets just move on. Now we all know the Fl. history on voting so do we really want to mail out re-votes {can anyone count the dead peoples votes that would come back in the mail?} Or how many re-counts will there be? No more voting Fl. and Mi. Lets just move on and let the cards fall where they may { or "the votes"]

I am a natural born United States citizen living in the Great State of South Carolina, whom cherishes the vote of the people above all. However; the votes were cast and in a primary/caucas authorized and duely run by the governing authority and powers of the Great States of the Florida and Mighigan governments. Those said governments, which by my reckoning overrides the DNC and have the constitutional duty and responsiblity to properly govern the elections by the people of any type. The DNC should have went to court before declaring the votes don't count. Maybe someone here needs to go to jail for election tampering or something more serious along those lines. The DNC has no governing authority over the States of theses United States that I know of. The votes have to count as is regardless of those whom did not vote. The DNC is not the final governing autority of elections these States are. Al Sharpton needs to sue the DNC for tampering with the election process as controlled by the states because somehow those original votes are going to have to count as is. Sorry AL, the People need to vote according to their State governments and not the DNC or any other organization whom claims power over the government election laws and processes which can be changed at their will of government enacted powers and exercising them as they have chosen.
