FL Dems ANGRY! - NYT
Fla Democrats are threatening to withhold donations and even demand their money back from the DNC if their delegates are not seated.

1. And the DNC has the nerve to try to screw Hillary out of her delegates.
"A review of records filed with the Federal Election Commission shows that top donors to the committee gave more to Mrs. Clinton than to Mr. Obama. Of 196 people who have given at least $30,000 to the D.N.C. since 2005, it appears 71 of them contributed to Mrs. Clinton, with donations totaling more than $295,000, while 67 gave to Mr. Obama for about $189,000. And 25 gave to both.

Hit them where it hurts. I see this as good politics. This is what one would do to a foreign country if they started something against an agreed upon agenda for their citizens, a threat to withhold funds.

Bama is going to drag his feet on both states since he knows he can't win.

3. Absolutely
This is what he is trying to do. He knows Hillary is the winner in those states and he can't afford to lose anymore big states.

2. Good. I can't imagine how I would feel if all the votes in my state did not count.
I bet Obama will do all he can to stop Fl and MI from revoting.

5. As they should be.
Obama has lost a lot of religious white
voters with the Wright revelations. The
DNC wanats to disenfranchise Fla democrats.
The party may fracture if the voices of the
voters is not heard, and that includes Florida.
Howard Dean needs to realize he painted the DNC
into a corner when he made his threat about
disqualifying a primary if the voting date was
moved up, and then was played by the repuke gov
who moved it up.
Dean needs to let go of his pride in not wanting
to seem a flip-flopper by going back on his word
and admit he was wrong. Dean and the DNC need to
let the votes count.
