The one scenario where I will not support the Democratic candidate in the GE
If the Michigan delegates are seated, where Obama wasn't even on the ticket, I will leave the Democratic party for good. I am so tired of this shit. HRC will try to steal this election any way she can. If she does, she will destroy the party.

1. Well, I'm from Michigan and I can tell you
that Howard Dean dropped the ball and needs to do something about Michigan asap.

You'd write off a whole state?


What if I threatened to leave the party if they DIDN'T try to enfranchise Michigan and Florida?

4. I heard him on the radio earlier and he said something about getting MI & FL
straightened out as of June. I think it's really screwy the way that all went down.

5. Lisa I gotta know what did good folks like you do to change
the ballot in your state. For the life of me I can't understand how voters lost control of the election. I mean, did the people take to the streets or have massive call ins to the representatives? What? As an Ohioan I can tell you that I have stood on more street corners in the last eight years than I care to remember.

6. One question: Was Michigan AWARE that the Primary date was a problem?
Edited on Tue Apr-22-08 08:24 PM by davsand
I understand feeling frustrated, but I think I recall any number of discussions on the news about the fact that Michigan Dems were warned that Primary date was a problem for the DNC. Are you telling us that is not the case?

8. Then it won't be that hard to leave. I am so sick of the Democratic party
fucking everything up. Dean and the SD's need to end this now.
