I saw the results and wondered what the hell happened. I can't believe she won Texas and Ohio. I really want Obama to win the nomination. It appears that this race will be ugly right down to the convention.
Hillary is now saying that Florida and Michigan should count. In the beginning they both agreed to abide by the DNC's ruling that those delegates wouldn't count. Obama wasn't even on the ballot in Michigan, so how would it be fair to count those delegates for Hillary? I think she is really about to get on my nerves...

I posted my analysis in the other thread, but basically, Texas was the only surprise to me.
I wonder if anyone would benefit from a John Edwards endorsement now . . .
Prissy, if the DNC goes back and counts the delegates from FL and MI, knowing that they violated the rules, no one campaigned in either state (Hillary only held a fundraiser here in FL  ) and neither Obama's nor Edwards' names were on the ballots in MI, there will be hell to pay and McCain will be our next prez for sure.
The best way to handle that is to let FL and MI ride. Don't deplete our (FL) already bone dry budget to do a do-over. They violated the rules, they pay the price. Period.

Period.I agree with you regarding Florida and Michigan. I just heard Hillary in an interview this morning speaking with such passion on why Florida and Michigan should count. That just really irritated me. |
