What people don’t seem to understand is that this race isn’t about Obama vs Clinton, it is really about MoveOn.org vs Clinton.

The cities will burn if the Beast prevails through rules changes.

...undecided superdelegates would be more than "ticked" if the Clinton campaign tries to force the so-called "nuclear option" and encourages the Rules and Bylaws committee, which meets May 31st, to seat the Florida and Michigan delegates.

In other words, for the good of the Democrat party, it is absolutely essential that the voters in two major states be disenfranchised.

Whattaparty!!!

[Lancey Howard]

It sounds like Daschle wants the rat nominee “selected, not elected” by the superdelegates.

[DakotaGator]

So that's who that was. Thought he was a pheasant hunt protester ;-)

[MediaMole]

Last I heard, Daschle was panhandling for spare change in Mitchell, SD

Any truth to the rumor that he has been gnawing on the Corn Palace for sustinence?

“Rejecting votes from whole states merely because they were a few days too early was an insane move.”

They figured if it was good enough to reject the votes of overseas military personnel then it’s surely good enough for a couple states.

Yes it is and WE are not sad about it.

[ctdonath2]

Ditto Dean & Pelosi.

I understand their concern about waging a prolonged battle for nomination when their opponent is already running for President, but burning the base by ignoring all votes (esp. when brought on by multiple stupid rule changes) is usually a bad idea.

[TeleStraightShooter]

What you say? moveOn.org is commadering that empty suit BHO against their own mother?!?

Sheesh!, this reads like a greek tragedy!

[gridlock]

COUNT OUR VOTES!!!

...but burning the base by ignoring all votes (esp. when brought on by multiple stupid rule changes) is usually a bad idea

Precisely. It wasn't the stupid rat voters who disenfranchised themselves - - it was their own stupid party leaders.

[gridlock]

Time to get the ol' gang back together!

COUNT THE VOTES!

[gridlock]

"I've told you three times, I'm Former Senator Tom Daschle of South Dakota!!!"

Yeah, I heard you the first time... I just like hearing you say it!

[MARTIAL MONK]

The organ grinder turned his back and, poof, Little Tommy was long gone.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

Tom Daschle....Is he still alive?

[Ogie Oglethorpe]

Tom Daschle....Is he still alive?

Yes, and he is still deeply saddened...

[McGruff]

The band is getting back together? How about "Rush's Rent a Mob".

We're coming to your town. We're going to party down. We're a "Rush's Rent a Mob".
