Democratic party officials said a committee agreed Saturday on a compromise to seat Michigan and Florida delegates with half-votes after Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton failed to get enough support to force their positions through.
Clinton's chief delegate hunter Harold Ickes angrily informed the committee that Clinton had instructed him to reserve her right to appeal the matter to the Democrats' credentials committee, which could potentially drag the matter to the party's convention in August.
Obama picked up a total of 32 delegates in Michigan, including superdelegates who have already committed, and 36 in Florida. Clinton picked up 38 in Michigan, including superdelegates, and 56.5 in Florida.
Obama's total increased to 2,052, and Clinton had 1,877.5.
The Hillary people are still extremely worked up and were protesting and chanting outside of the DNC meeting. Some interrupted the announcement with chants of "Denver, Denver, Denver" which is a reference to taking their fight to the convention, which takes place in August, in Denver and which would be political suicide for Hillary.
All in all they are a scary bunch. Just take a look at this YouTube video.

I have seen rapid dogs behave with more dignity...
It is just a good goddamn thing that I am not forming my opinion of Democrats OR women based on the behavior of these harpies.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Hillary feels that is SHE cannot be the first female President then she will make it so NOBODY will lever even think of nominating a woman again.
She is setting back the cause of feminism a hundred years and she could not care less.
it is hard to believe that people are really willing to give it all up because they "didnt win"
