As if Obama bringing in his lawyer in an attempt to stop a Michigan revote was bad enough, he has decided to once again slap the voters in the face.
Obama's Top Goon David Axelrod (sp). is pushing for a 50/50 split of delegates in Michigan. I guess, anything to stop Hillary from gaining ground in pledged delegates eh? Even Dodd, whom at the time I had a tremendous respect for based on the fact he along with Senator Clinton left his name on the ballot, has backed the Obama campaign on this, flip flopping from his original stance, and following the Obama campaign. This is absolutely ridiculous. A 50/50 split of the delegates is NOT democracy. As Senator Clinton has stated before, no candidate was forced to withdraw their name from the ballot.
The way I look at it, when Senator Obama withdrew his name from the ballot, he basically said (well, I don't need your votes). And now, by blocking the re-do, and by pushing for this 50/50 delegate distribution, he's basically saying (Well, I didn't need your votes, but it's so close, that I can't allow you to vote for my rival).
How dare the Obama campaign manipulate the us citizens and this so called Democracy.
Here's your answer DNC. The fair, Democratic way of doing things, and patching this up. Because even if you sit these pledged delegates 50/50 split, you will lose both Florida and Michigan. It's not about sitting the delegates, it's about listening to the voters, and if you sit the delegates in a 50/50, that's the exact same as not sitting them at all. Anyways, back to the answer to your problems::
You Sit Senator Clinton's pledged delegates from Michigan and Florida as is.
You sit the (Uncommitted delegates) from Michigan as, well, Uncommitted.
You sit Senator Obama's pledged delegates from Florida.
You award Senator Edwards his pledged delegates from Florida.
You penalize the Super Delegates who were in charge of moving the primary date forward by stripping their votes in this Democratic Primary.
You set dates for Michigan and Florida after super Tuesday next cycle with no submission to move primary date forward.
Boom. All is fair. The voters are happy. The states are punished. And the candidates participated fairly. It is nobodies fault but Obama's for taking his name off the ballot, and shame on you Dodd for flip flopping, and supporting him for it. How dare you. And to think, you were running for president of the United States.
