1. That first guy he quoted...Dem. Jeremy Ring...introduced the effing primary bill

2. Yes we can

I think they should just directly copy what Oregon does for their vote by mail process. it works well for them but knowing florida they'll screw it up, like having that law.

3. They just DON'T COUNT - simple argument.

Michigan and Florida were warned that if they moved up their primaries, they would be violating DNC laws and any primary they held would no longer count. Those states no longer count and they knew this would happen, but party leaders in those states moved up their primaries anyway and agreed that they wouldn't count. They knew. I feel bad for the voters, but it's simple. Why is there even a discussion here?

All of this is giving the democrats really bad attention in the media. Look on MSNBC.com's homepage and you'll see an article about how Hillary and Obama supporters can't even "sit down together" because every little state is contested, and this thing has dragged on too long. With McCain doing a surprised foreign relations visit in Iraq, the D's should settle on a nominee and soon. I'm an Obama supporter, but I would support Hillary, just so that these silly arguments between Democrats were over.

Michigan and Florida they knew it wouldn't count and they accepted. We should stop the bad press.

5. i totally agree.

the reps disenfranchised their voters-not the dnc. what is the deterrent for other states to leapfrog if the states are allowed to seat their delegates. we'll be going through this year after year. the buck has to stop here.

4. Yes. And, why do we continue to forgive them for their chronic mistakes of disenfranchising voters?

6. i don't forgive them. but then again, i don't live in either state. n/t
