Some leaders in Michigan are still trying to figure out a way to get our delegates seated at the national convention.Mark Brewer,the head of Michigans democratic party anounced yesterday the executive commitee postponed the district conventions that are used to choose delegates to go to the national convention.It has been changed from March 29th to April 19th. This is believed to have been done to give them more time to find a solution.

As I said somewhere else, you can't defy the rules without consequences and there's no equitable solution, so someone has got to lose, and the only thing to be determined is who that will be.

Michigan and Florida need to be seated... otherwise it's the Democratic Party version of chad recounts in 2000. The Dems were stoopid to put themselves in a situation like this... you can only shoot yourself in the foot so many times.

Howard Dean--- give me a break!

The 08 election was the DNCs to lose... and they're trying very hard to do just that! Tie up Hillary Clinton and ship her off to Siberia... that's the only way you will ever get a Clinton to just GO AWAY! I'm tired of her dirty politic tactics.

Cat, the "rules" only seem to apply if it helps Obama. Take the super-delegates for example, according to the "rules", they should be allowed to vote their conscience, except of course, if they want to vote for Hillary Clinton.

I must also wonder why Obama is afraid to allow the people of Michigan and Florida to have their votes counted? Earth to Obama: The dems need these two states in November! Please don't be afraid, allow a re-vote.

It's sad that Florida and Michigan politicians tried to jump the gun with their primaries. Everyone agreed to the Democratic party decision though. Obama's name wasn't even on the ballot because he trusted everyone to play by the same rules. But that Hillary is a sneaky one.

Funny how it's okay to change the rules when you think there is something to be gained.

Let's see, she loses when it comes to delegates, states, and popular vote, so now suddenly it's the ELECTORAL COLLEGE that counts. Hmmmm.
