Topic: Clinton Camp to use *Nuclear Option*

So much for that pledge she signed with the other candidates saying that none of the votes would count in MI and FL.

 I hope that the DNC can find a solution to this.  It would be awful for the 2.5 Million who voted in Michigan and Florida to be disenfranchised.  And awful for the party, too, because their votes are badly needed in the November election.  Voters in the 2 states could be really unhappy campers/voters.

So if she gets the nomination this way, after disenfranchising 2 states for her benefit, will you still support her? SlapBrooke

Sure...Why wouldn't I?..............Kate

Because she disenfranchised 2 states for her own benefit. Were you not the least bit upset when Bush stole the 2000 election? That was only ONE state. (I know, I know...women have to do twice as much as men to get the same results, but this is ridiculous! ) SlapBrooke

I don't understand. How can the results from Michigan be used when Obama's name wasn't even on the ballot?

Because Hillary is going to argue that the votes must be counted and delegates seated, and even though she was the only person on the ballot, doggone it, she still won. She signed the agreement that votes would not count last year before the primaries started, when she was supposed to be the nominee after Super Tuesday, and since that has not happened, and it is mathematically impossible to catch up with Obama any other way, she will do whatever it takes to win. She is just like Bush, who see elections as a golf game, where the lowest score always wins. SlapBrooke
