The ballroom is far emptier than it was nine hours ago. The Rules committee is still meeting privately. Michigan is the sticking point, by all accounts.
A woman in an "Every Vote Counts" T-shirt, a Hillary supporter, comes over and asks if I'm blogging. She's ticked. The committee said they'd come back at 4:15. It's now 6.
"You should blog this," she says. "It's totally disrespectful to the people here, whether they're Obama or Hillary."
Her name is Alice Rickel. She's a lawyer from Cleveland. People came from all over the country to watch this meeting, she says. One group just left because they've got to pay $100 for each extra hour they keep the bus driver.
She's a lawyer, she says. She understands that negotiations take time, and sometime are best done behind closed doors. She just likes the judge to come out and say when the case is continued.
"This whole thing is all about whether or not they disrespect voters. They can send somebody out and say, we're trying to negotiate a settlement, bear with us."

“What day does the 4th. of July fall on??? Duh, can ya give me a hint?”
It scares me to think that those three women are actually deciding things for American people.
PERFECT reply! I’m half awake and you made me laugh out loud. (:
Most feminists secretly envy the silky pony’s hair.
OPERATION CHAOS.
I believe it is Friday this year...
I thought the woman in the picture was having a tough time with the date. Or some other really hard question like “when was the War of 1812?”.
No one should allow themselves to photo’ed with their mouth open like that, (repeated shudders!)
these photos are enough to burn one’s eyes out!!!
let’s hope that all these “women” vote their anger come november and support juan mccain or sit out the election!!!
That is an insult to all men.
[snip] Harold Ickes, Clinton’s representative to the DNC, expressed support for the Florida proposal, but said the solution for Michigan’s dispute would “hijack” the votes of more than half a million voters in the state. “This motion will hijack, hijack, remove four delegates won by Hillary Clinton and most importantly reflect the preferences of 600,000 Michigan voters,” he said, according to MSNBC. “This body of 30 individuals has decided that they are going to substitute their judgment for 600,000 voters.” [end]

[snip] Ickes’ admonition on Michigan means that the Clinton camp has not signed off on the new “magic” number: 2,118 delegates. And that means any claim by Obama to be the presumptive nominee will carry an asterisk — perhaps all the way to the late-August convention in Denver.[end]
Note that number — 2118 delegates now needed for the nomination. This is part of the compromise over these delegations, and buys Hillary time, which means, the fun continues until the convention, barring some last minute assassination (god forbid). I’m just glad the Demwits have a strong devotion to rules and law. (snicker)
The best new is, no matter what the outcome of the nomination fight, no matter what happens in November, HOWARD DEAN IS GONE! Yes, I know that many people have considered him “gone” for a long time, at least as long ago as his “yeaaaghhhh!” performance, but he’s going to be the fall guy for this delegate mess, as well he should be. Carl Levin will of course stick like a bug on flypaper to his job.
What? You don't like the under arm shot?
LOL!

"Ok, everyone here who has the entire Indigo Girls' CD catalogue, please raise your hand."
I love the sign hanging by a thread.
“I am the last barman poet...
“I see America drinking
“The fabulous cocktails I make,
“Americans getting stinking
“On something I stir or shake.
“The Sex On The Beach,
“The schnapps made from peach,
“The Velvet Hammer,
“The Alabama Slammer.
“I make things with juice and froth,
“The Pink Squirrel,
“The Three-Toed Sloth.
“I make drinks so sweet and snazzy,
“The Iced Tea,
“The Kamikaze,
“The Orgasm,
“The Death Spasm,
“The Singapore Sling,
“The dingaling.
“America, you've just been devoted
“To every flavor I've got.
“But if you want to got loaded,
“Why don't you just order a shot?...Bar is open.”
Looks more like Keith Richards.
