Assuming you are correct and not just biased in your assumption that people "detest" Hillary, she has no one to blame but herself and her campaign for it.

She has reaped what she has sown on this one.

As a Democrat in Florida I would like to weigh in...

Do rules mean nothing? Do decisions made by Democrats (in this case the DNC) mean nothing? In an election year that is a really bad message to send.

Both states were told in no uncertain terms what would happen if they moved up their primaries. They did so anyway. EVERYONE had ample opportunity to avoid this mess. They did not avoid it and here we are.

The delegates from Michigan and Florida should not be seated. That decision was made in principle. The principle was valid... don't violate the rules. It is of course ironic that both states did so because they wanted to have a say in the nomination. Had they left their primaries alone, they would have had a say in the nomination regardless.

Beware the state of Florida offering to pay for this by the way. The GOP controls the purse-strings in this state. If they truly wanted to screw over the Democrats, they would offer to fund it and then slash Democratic favored programs or popular statewide programs and then blame the Democrats for the shortfall of funds.

If people in those states willingly disenfranchise themselves in the general election because they hold a grudge, I do not know what to tell them except that for that they have only themselves to blame as bad politicians are elected by good people who don't vote.

One final note on Florida... aside from having a popular GOP Governor, everything old is new again here... there is a Gay Marriage Amendment on the ballot in November.... Hello red meat GOP issue.

Dean is right to stand on principle on this one.

add to that Bill Clinton's praise of Karl Rove who is even more repugnant than Reagan and go from there....

Although, I guess it explains some of her campaign thus far...

Wow.... so you bought into the idea that the press has been harder on Clinton than it has been on Obama? I tell you what, her campaign may suck at a lot of important things, but its media manipulation is downright masterful....

Did you seriously just use the word treason? My God in Heaven...

I am supporting he eventual nominee, so I have two dogs in this fight, but it is with increasing mirth that I watch as the Clinton supporters accuse Obama supporters of all sorts of mind control and Kool-aid drinking and worship, etc. and then whip out words like treason... against a fellow Democrat.... who may actually get the nomination....

Wow... just wow.

Primary season will NOT END SOON ENOUGH.

Carol...

Best post of the bunch. No offense to anyone by the way.

If anyone is actually buying the idea that either candidate will do away with NAFTA, I have a few more things I could sell you.. bridges and swampland come to mind.

It is primary season... If you actually believe that Clinton is as Liberal as she is making herself sound right now, you are completely forgetting that she is a member of the DLC... the group that made running to the middle a political strategy.

This is the say anything, do anything part of the process. If anyone is believing wholesale everything either candidate has to say, you have not been payig attention.
