Back to Michigan and Florida

The apparent ascendancy of Barack Obama may deprive political junkies of the spectacle of a brokered Democratic convention. If his momentum holds through the Wisconsin primary and on to March 4 he may hold a clear advantage in pledged delegates -- those selected through primaries and caucuses -- that superdelegates, even those still under the spell of the Clintons, would be loath to overturn. Still, the issue of Michigan and Florida will remain.

The Democratic National Committee, of course, stripped these two states of all of their delegates when those states jumped the queue and in contravention of the DNC primary schedule set their primaries before February 5. As a result, none of Michigan's 156 delegates or Florida's 185 delegates will cast votes for the presidential nominee...

Rumor has it MI will hold a Dem caucas this spring at the expense of the DNC. Really don’t see it happening here though. Especially since Granholm has already been promised a cabinet position under the Hildabeast.

Let’s re-do both Michigan and Florida now, on the GOP side, too.

Help place calls in Wisconsin.

So with Granholm in the bag, and She who can not be named calling the shots at the DNC, that brings us closer to a bloody future for Obamination.

Sounds like fun! ;-)

I wish we could go back and redo South Carolina. That’s where the disaster started.

Just hope it is long and blood and no one survives.

This is so Hillary...signs a pledge agreeing to the rules of the DNC and then when she needs the delegates goes back on her pledge. Why would I want someone like that in the White house.....it’s the same old clinton, no change here.
