why make rules that were ment to be broken?

DemoRats, always changing the rules to suit them when they can’t win with integrity.

The one thing Pfleger had right in his disgusting sermon is that Hillary feels entitled to the Presidency. If she can’t have it she’ll have no problem with destroying the party. She’ll put on a good face of insincere Clintonesque unity in the end and profess to support Obama, but that will be after she’s thrown all her grenades. This is better than any big screen thriller. I can’t wait to see what happens after this week’s primaries.

it’s estimated the Illinois senator would need endorsements from just 24 of the 200 remaining “undeclared” super delegates to become the presumptive Democratic nominee.

By contrast, Clinton would need to win endorsements from about 150 of the remaining super delegates up for grabs, defying the recent trend in favour of Obama.

Wait, so they BOTH can become the nominee?
I’m confused and I’m not even a democrat.

[Zechariah11]

I don’t understand the Obama tactics. He has plenty of support going into the convention and needs to mend the party. Why not let Hillary have her way on these two states?

[Fundamentally Fair]

You can be certain that if it were the GOP doing this...

But the GOP wouldn't be doing this. It there were an agreement PRIOR to voting, everyone would stick to it during and after voting.

[Brilliant]

The only possible explanation is that he fears there will be another harmful revelation before the convention, and he doesn’t want to let her within striking distance.

[MinuteGal]

He wouldn't let Hillary have her way in those two states because he's still watching the area between his shoulder blades and will be doing so until the moment he's sworn in as President by an Imam from Kenya.

The brilliance of letting America see the DemoRats at home.

A little cigar smoke and the "all knowing, all seeing,....."

[longun45]

Democrats at their best disenfranchising Florida seniors and Michigan blacks.

The democrats count every vote, just some votes count more than others. True equality!!! democrap style.

[Chode]

and the RATS, take another one in the..................HA ha!!!

[Coldwater Creek]

I vividly remember the newspaper pictures of the Clinton's with Chelsea in arms, on the steps of the Capitol when he was first elected Gov. Been non stop controversy ever since.

[bannie]

Because one cheat isn't good enough. You let her have one cheat, and she'll push for the next...and the next...and the next.

There is NO grace or fair play in the clintonian world. Those trashy clintons will do ANYTHING to get what they want. The word, “fair” and "right" are as nebulous as the word, “is.”

[pepperhead]

Sounds good to me, if she would run as a independent I am sure lots of republicans would donate to her campaign to help her out..........

Run Hillary, Run!
