I have a suggestion regarding Florida and Michigan: give Senator Obama half of the delgates and Senator Clinton half of the delegates. This makes sense to me and would not cost anyone any money. Seems simple enough to me.

You gotta wonder what Hillary and her team is afraid of?

I thought wooing the fat cats, the party insiders and the party bosses was now her strategy to win the nomination. Because we all know she can't do it at the ballot box.

That would negate the vote that was taken in both states. It would also negate what would occur today if there was a revote. This is disenfranchisement at its worst. The DNC screwed up and Obama does not want to agree to a revote in Michigan because he knows he will lose again.

Wow what a mess... seems like maybe the DNC could have had some sort of foresight into what would happen if FL and MI's votes were actually needed when they made this decision. Isn't that kind of why they were elected? To make decisions that encompassed the best interests of the constituents? Well both candidates here have an agenda and I think they need to sit down and be adults and come to a compromise which will hopefully iron this out... one of the Florida representatives mentioned it last night, but I can't remember which one- I turned the TV off because this whole thing disgusts me. Best of luck to you Fl and MI ... I guess you just need to keep an eye on who you are electing to make decisions about your voting rights.

This is the outcome when rules are broken. Always we end up in problems and uncertainity. We all learn through mistakes we make!

One would thing B.O. would prefer a SuperCaucus instead of a SuperPrimary.

You cant have a decision until the convention because Michigan and Florida will now have to petition to be seated at convention.

If Obama doesn't give the go ahead to Michigan tocay, this goes to convention.

As far as the 50/50 suggestion. Lets see that would take votes away from Clinton in Michigan and since Obama only got 25% of the vote in the exit polls give him 25%. In Florida it would give Obama 17% and Clinton nothing.

This proposal is insulting, cheating, completely disregards democracy and should be completely disallowed, even as a suggestion by the DNC.

It is absurd!

If this goes to convention these states should and WILL demand that all their delegates be seated as is, without rewriting history, cheating or stealing delegates.

It will go to a vote on the convention floor.

Will Democratic super delegates be dumb enough to deny these two swing states, 8% of the electorate their delegates???

If they do they deserve to lose the white house and they will!

How about support for primaries where 2.3 million democrats voted or redo's for 8% of the electorate and electoral college, i maight add?

No that would be democracy. obama isnt interested in that.

I'm sure he does want a superdelegate caucus not a primary.

By the way, there is a superdelegate primary, its called The Democratic National Convention.

Primaries are DELEGATE SLECTION VOTES.

You can't have a superdelegate primary because they are already delegates to convention.

If this allowed, then there should be delegate primaries in FL and MI where the delegates get to vote for themselves to go to convention which would then be recognized by the DNC as being valid. It would be exactly the same thing.

Yeah that's a great idea. On the same day that superdelegates get to vote to send themselves to convention, MI and FL delegates get to vote to send themselves to convention.

Great idea Barack, you may have solved this whole mess.

Seriously any person trying to blame this mess on either of the candidates or say it is their responsibility to fix it needs a reality check- the blame lies solely at the feet of the DNC .. Of course neither candidate is going to give their approval to something that may hurt them politically. Just as Barack remains silent about the revote Hillary remains solid on only having a revote... If the two cannot compromise then the leaders of the DNC need to make a decision and everyone will just have to live with it..it's called leadership.

By the way, undeclared or undecided would have to be one of the coices as it always is in primaries. So it would be straw poll, not a primary because these delegates are already selected where the neutral super delegates could still vote undeclared.

This man's attempts to subvert the process are amazing. He doesn't want prmaries, because he doesnt win them, doesn't want votes to count, and now doesn't want a convention.

Obama is done, the Wright controversy is not going to go away and there is more to come. More radical connections, more racism. All the pretty speeches in the world will not erase seeing those clips of Wright and his hate speech. Hillary has a chance against McCain. For all of the charges leveled against the Clintons there has never been anything proven. Bill for all his faults was a great president and presided over a prosperous time in America for everyone. He truly was a president of all people. The cross over republicans and independents have been turned off as indicated in the lastest polls. The Hillary women will never vote for Obama. If Obama gets the nomination it will be a landslide for McCain.

Based on the results from WA and TX, we need to ban all results from caucus states, or transfer them to popular vote based on the data from WA and TX.

You know I can't help but wonder NoMoreCaucus of you would feel that way had Hillary won the caucus states? You suggestion reeks of the same silliness as the Obama supporters saying we should ban primaries and all go caucus because generally the people who do caucus? Are the people who care and have educated theirselves on the issues. That's a fact. Soooo if a large part of Hillary's votes are coming from people who recognize the name or those who aren't willing to stand in line to caucus....then the caucus votes shows the will of the people who truly do care what happens.

The DNC truly is to blame for this fiasco and they are showing no leadership at this very critical point in time. I think the DNC is pro OBama and are buying time, hoping this will go away. However, Obama is damaged goods and we need MI and FL in the GE. Disenfranchising voters in those 2 states will hurt the Democrats in NOV. The DNC should have vetted Obama before supporting him. If you take note of the latest polls, he is dropping like a brick and it saddens me to say this, but the Dems will lose bigtime in NOV.

Firefighter and s.b. is that another fear tacticks another 3:00 am annoucement? Hillary is done. Obama is on his way to win the nomination and Hillary and her supporters have no other choice but to join the crowd behind Obama. That is the only one way to win back the White House. McCain is not a solid candidate, you may remember that Hillary said that McCain has a lifetime experience in national security and foreign affairs. But the last show in Jordan was very much troubling because McCain could not make a difference between Sunni and Shites, Iran and AlQaeda. His good friend Joe libberman has to correct him publicly.

In TX, Obama won caucus by 10%, but was defeated in popular vote by 4%.

In WA, Obama won caucus by a stunning 37%, but only won the popular vote by 5%.

Should we let him steal the nominee?

Senator Obama visited FL last fall, and promised to voters that he would do everything he can to have their votes counted, now he just does not want their votes counted anymore.
I guess words are just words for him?
What a joke!
