I'm sorry they oppose a mail in ballot because it in some way might be undemocratic but want to override 2.2 million votes cast and divy up the delegates 50/50. Does anyone else find those two positions at odds?

These states knew going into this race if they went ahead of what the DNC said they would NOT be counted What didn't they understand????Now Clinton wants them in for she pulled a good one and left her name on the ballot in Fl....Smart move on her part.I for ne do not think they should be counted ,in this country there are rules you SHOULD follow if you break the law TS....... Suffer they knew going on and now they are crying to bad states,maybe next time you might listen to what you are boing told.Rules are rules>>>>>>>>>

Sounds to me like Clinton is pulling a George Bush, do things the way I say or nobody wins and it will be your fault. She won't agree to anything less than having the bogus results counted as the final tally. I doubt seriously she would feel the same way had the two contests been different or if she were ahead by any measure in the contest. Though some voted, many more did not because they were informed that the primaries would not be counted. So there are more voters at stake than those that voted in those primaries. Clinton wants to win, and I can respect that, but she does not care how she wins and that is a serious problem for me. She knows that the campaigns will need to approve any do over and is stating very clearly right now that she will not allow that. That is a Bush 101 tactic. Give me my win or everyone loses. I will not vote in the general if she is nominated because i could not support the current CinC that advocates such a position, so I will certainly not support another one, no matter what her party.

Yup, just another regular Politician (Obama) trying to silence 2.2 million voters... I love how if we counted MI and FL Clinton would have been ahead since Super Tuesday... No wonder he wants to hide these votes... what a great POTUS he'd be. Uniting this country... JUST WORDS!

There's one way to ensure the vote isn't tampered with and that's to count the results in a democratic election where 2.2 million democrats voted, at least from Florida. Michigan may need a redo, or all the elected delegates could stand as uncommitted. What people dont understand here is that delegates were elected, hundreds of them. Those people should not be un-elected, unless the can run in anotehr election. it would be undemocratic, and disrespectful to those people who put their names forward, campaigned and are now probably raising funds to go to convention.

It's not the Soviet Union or China, you cant just override a vote and un-elect delegates because they dont favor you.

These delegates need to be allowed to stand or run again in another election.

All the candidates did agreed to DNC rules. Hillary so desperate and devisive went ahead and betrayed. This is a Candidate you call "has experience or ready for day1? Typicall clinton strategy, lies, mislead and cheat. Her husband did the same thing while he was a President. Remeber, first"I did not have a sexual relationship with ML" then after being busted" I did have a sexual relationship with that woman, ML.the Clintons have shown their true colors.

What about those voters that stayed at home knowing that their votes would not count? The rules are the rules.

Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the rich, savory irony of Democrats fighting to NOT count Florida votes.

I agree with Ferraro, Barack wouldn't be in this position if he was a white man.

Any candidate who has energized the American people, called for Change in Washington politics, run a consistent positive campaign and have a Clear Vision for the future of America would be the NOMINEE by now.

No talk about a revote, super delegates, vice-presidency or other strategies to steal the election would even be considered or mentioned.

Just the thought that this election could come down to Florida again makes me sick to my stomach! How quick we forget!

the Obama camp does not oppose the mail in ballot. there has been no specific comment opposing such a plan, just because it was not mentioned as a preferred way to get it done, does not indicate opposition. Shoddy reporting.
Further HRC, this is not a Parisan process, there is only one party involved here. The two states broke the rules, but since it turned out in your favor, you are looking to take advantage. Way to put the country first and think about the millions who would still like to be heard in a recognized vote. At best those two non-primaries were another poll.

lol again, this election campaign has crossed the line of stupid and ridiculous!

I know I probably shouldn't ask this question, but why is it that every time an issue comes up such as this (the same happened with NAFTA), the finger gets pointed at Obama?
Now Obama wants to hide the votes? How stupid is that statement?? You hillary sheeple need to go take your meds and calm down. We understand that she is behind and in danger of not winning the nomination, but everything that goes on, that doesn't go her way, is not Obama's fault.

Obama didn't make the rules, neither did hillary. So she should stop trying to make this look like another Obama gaffe.

WHY DO WE NEED TO WASTE TIME , MONEY AND ABILITY TO CONSOLIDATE AROUND OUR PRESUMPTIVE NOMMINEE BARACK OBAMA.

Consider the top 9 big states that have voted so far

Texas . . . . . 1,358,000 . . . . . . .1,459,000
New York. . . . . 698,000 . . . . . . .1,003,000
Illinois. . . . 1,302,000 . . . . . . . .662,000

Total . . . . . 8,643,000 . . . . . . .8,487,000

The rules are rules, Fl anf MI can't be seated comments, are some of the most juvenile opinions I have ever heard.

MI and FL will be seated at convention and always were going to be. Everyone knows that.

They were always going to be seated by the winner at convention, as their republican counterparts will be. The only issue now is that there wont be a clear winner at convention.

If it isnt resolved before then Obama and Clinton will have to get up at convention and say why they do or do not want them seated as is.

There is no better way to guarentee that obama will lose the white house than if he argues against seating MI and FL or argues to override an election where 2.2 million Americans voted and divy them up like a kindergarden snack 50/50, and prevails. It's over then.

I do not believe he will do that as its political suicide. So what's he doing?? Stalling, so it doesnt look like Clinton is winning. That's all.

The DNC needs to seat these delegates SOON or agree to a revote SOON, because we all know they will be seated at convention. Regardless of the juvenile aguements against seating them that completely ignore the political process.

Howard Dean, by the way, should have his but kicked out of the convention and the DNC forever for this fiasco. 100% his fault and he is refusing to show leadership to solve it in a timely manner,as it should have been resolved already. He is a disaster for the democratic party.

Um Washington, Virginia and Georgia are not "big states" Nice try though to distort the numbers as usual from teh Obama camp.

If the Clinton people are really concerned with the rights of the voters to have theri delegates seated despite their purposeful breach of the rules laid down by the DNC, then a 50/50 split is the obvious and easy solution. To insist that the results of those illegal primaries be made legitimate is beyond ridiculous. Obama was not even on the ballot in Michigan and in Flordia, how much of that win was based on simple name recognition? Obama, following the DNC rules, did not campaign and, therefore, had no opportunity to introduce himself to the voters of Florida. Also, how many voters stayed home because the results would not count? You cannot call either Michigan or Florida a legitimate 'win' for Clinton. Just to be clear, going in to primary season, I was a Clinton supporter but because of things that have happened in the course of the primary (like this situation), I have moved my support to Obama and I represent one of Clinton's 'core' supporters age wise, race wise, etc.

If the DNC backs down from their previous position, there will be chaos in the next election as states jockey for position and jump ahead of one another. It is will also prove that Will Rogers was right when he said, "I do not belong to any organized poltiical party; I'm a Democrat."

Um Washington, Virginia and Georgia are not "big states" Nice try though to distort the numbers as usual.

Washington a "big state" lmao

I agree with Ferraro, Barack wouldn't be in this position if he was a white man.

This racial comment is a shame. Look at the history of this country. To suggest that Barak is successful is because of his skin color is very low coming from People who have ruled this country since the beginning. I am a white male and very disgusted about those racial comments. Obama is the only candidate who can reach out both side blacks and whites. When Hillary won OH and other states that hold a majority of whites who voted for her, nobody said that she won because she is white. Please enough of these negative comments that are very devicive and Hillary is 100% behind it. this a strategy to win PA. shame on you Hillary.

I am so disgusted by Democrats disrespecting the voters in Florida and Michigan. Would Dodd say the same if the DNC tried to do this to the voters of CT? The DNC has totally messed up the nomination process - if Dems had a winner-take-all system like the Republicans, Hillary would have the nomination by now.

About three years ago a well known televangelist, Perry Stone, told his congregation that God spoke to him and said Sen. Clinton will be the next President. There is nothing ABC News or the other networks can do to stop Sen. Clinton from becoming President.

Change the name of this country to the United Big States only, all the other states are too small to matter.
