Was the DNC fair?
How did Clinton win MIchigan? No one else was on the ballot. How did she win Florida by such a huge margin. Obama didn't campaign there.


Do you agree with the DNC's ruling yesterday. I thought it was more than fair for Clinton considering the rules had been broken and not punitive to Obama for following the decision of the DNC.


By the way, I beat Clinton, Obama, McCain, Doyle Brunson, and all the former WSP champs at a poker match after it was canceled by ESPN and I was the only one to show up! They defaulted by not showing up after the the contest had been canceled, and I agreed to go along with the ruling.
But I still won! I won, I won and deserve ALL the winnings!

2. No it wasn't fair to the voters - they were told prior to voting it wouldn't count
so many voters stayed home. No net delegates should have been awarded to either candidate.

3. The Democratic Party in each state made proposals on how to seat delegates for their state and...

those proposals passed. They had the authority to decide how to run their primary or caucus. Apparently they chose "executive session" and conventions and the Rules committee agreed.
It may not be democratic but it is Democratic.
