Dean wants re-vote but only if states pay,MAKE THE CANDIDATES PAY

[MojoMojoMojo]

They both have obscene amounts of donations.I read that the cost may be $4 million per state.
Thats peanuts to the candidates.

1. Make Clinton pay then. What advantage is to Obama to pay for this?

He didn't cause it and the states knew the rules well in advance.

[JBoris]

2. It will cost 18 million in FL alone.

[Life Long Dem]

3. Dean wants thestates to go by the rules.

[TheDoorbellRang]

4. Them as did it ought to pay it

That's the state parties, and no other.

10. What you said!

[Adelante]

5. The states did this to themselves

Michigan will have caucuses, because it is cheaper. Florida can, too.

[bunnies]

6. Crist says it'll cost FL $25 million.

And why the hell should the candidates pay?! These states wanted to give the DNC a big fuck you. So they got what they gave. End of story.

9. Make it a mail-in in FL and raise the funds on the net

Should be alot cheaper to have a mail-in primary.
Should be enough interest to pay for it on the net, I would think.

15. maybe you will donate, I already paid for an election; my money goes to Obama to beat Clinton.

It's done ... end of story (Live From WPB)

7. How about a corporate sponsor: "The Florida Primary Brought to You By Ben-Gay"

8. Or the Clapper... Or is it crapper?

[slick8790]

11. No.

Those states broke the rules. They knew they were breaking the rules. They can pay the cost themselves if they really care.

12. Make Clinton pay.

She wants those delegates seated so bad, pay for new elections then.

13. The candidates cant pay the bill without being accused of buying the vote.

It is impossible!

The states need to pay for it or the DNC needs to pay only for a much cheaper caucus.

Overall tho I am getting tired of FL's bullshit. They need to pay or make a deal to have the DNC pay for a caucus or just accept 50/50.

They cheated and are getting more attention then they could possibly deserve. In 2012 at this rate we will see 5-10 states voting early to become news states later in the campaign when they demand to have the revotes for free.

14. If the state democratic parties pay,

won't that take money out of the GE coffers?

I'm less worried about Michigan, but Florida's been such a squeaker in the last few elections that I'd hate to cripple an already ailing democratic party down there. :(
