Florida and Michigan Delegates Count Less Than Slaves in the 1700s
In a move that surprised no one today, the party known for being made up of attorneys followed their lawyers advice and will be seating all of their delegates, but they will each only receive half a vote. Half, by the way, is is slightly less than three-fifths.
According to the New York Times
After the decision on the motion, one observer in the hall yelled out “This is not the Democratic Party!”
So we leave it to you. What do you think? Is this the Democratic party? Let us know why or why not.

Great Dred Scott! Bill will have to go Back To The Future again to repair the general election which he previously announced had already happened.
They should have taken away all fo Michigan and Florida's super deligates. Both states would then be punished but the votes of the electorite would count in full. Also Obama should not get votes for Richardson or Edwards these votes should go to Richardson or Edwards unless the delegates are given free vote.
How far back did you have to go to get a photo of two donkeys fighting?
4 years ago people could barely stagger into the primary voting booth, this year it's more important than emancipation.
Hillary should not be president because the last thing we need is another four years with a Commander and Chief who lacks the ability to count. She is quoted in NY Times as saying she's won more of the popular vote and more states than Obama which is just flat out wrong on both accounts. Check out this site for the truth, http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/democratic_delegate_count.html
Even if you seat Michigan and give Obama the uncommitted voters, who obviously sought to cast their vote for him but his name did not appear on the ballot, the math still doesn't add up. Many people probably didn't vote because it wasn't supposed to count and some may have vote for Clinton because she was the only name on the ballot. Her claims are ridicules.
That last word should be radiculose or worthy of ridicules.
Radiculose
Ra*dic"u*lose`\, a. (Bot.) Producing numerous radicles, or rootlets.
Thanks Spellcheck but I believe you meant ridicules. And rootlets? A small root or division of a root?
ohhh…. sorry ridiculous.
I think the whole entire system needs worked on, and that should be our top priority. If we do not figure out how to vote right without any mess-ups, there will be no possibility of getting rid of the Electoral College and picking the President by popular vote.
