91. Take it up with Howard Dean and the DNC.
Edited on Wed Feb-06-08 04:34 PM by AtomicKitten
I'm fully behind a do-over with the candidates allowed to campaign in the states and all names on the ballot.

But that's not what Hillary wants. She wants the advantage of counting votes when all candidates' names weren't on the ballot (Michigan) and where Obama, the new kid, has not been able to campaign (Michigan and Florida), hoping to skate on her name recognition only.

That's not "protecting citizens' votes" as you seem to think (that would be the real democratic suggestion above) but rather seeking to gain advantage by any means necessary and that, my friend, is the antithesis of democracy.

Rules are rules, rules set by Howard Dean and the DNC, and she signed on to those rules before a single vote was cast. You seem to be imposing your displeasure with that simple concept on me which is as unfair as it is inappropriate, but so very DU. :eyes:
