Official DNC RBC Committee Discussion over MI and FL

[Reluctant Republican]

Motion fails 15-12 and idiots are chanting "Denver" (1 member cannot vote)

Ah, that's what they were saying? Somewhat creepy.

[Meeker]

The Clinton people need to shut the f**ck up. They are not coming off well

[Flying Dog]

Are they hissing?

[Meeker]

Are they hissing?

And booing

[Sam Spade]

These people really need to calm the fcuk down. This isn't the convention.

yet...

[Alcon]

I like how the chair just asked Ralph Dawson to differentiate between Obama getting 35.5 delegates  and delegate votes.  Just to make sure we're not chopping a pledged delegate in half or anything.

[Conan]

I don't know how anyone could consider Michigan to have been a legitimate election: Obama wasn't even on the ballot.

Because he willingly took his name off of course.

Because it was a non-binding "beauty contest" not recognized as allocating delegates by the DNC.

This was a state sanctioned election. It was a race Obama conceded because he knew he had no chance of winning it either way.

Yeah right.

Maybe you weren't listening, but it is widely known that he took his name off the ballot so that they would never be counted because he was going to lose.

Obama would have won Michigan if he had kept his name on the ballot.

He could have won it after february. There's nothing to suggest otherwise.

Umm....no.

Michigan Survey of 575 Likely Democratic Primary Voters
March 6, 2008

Clinton 41%
Obama 41%


There is no way Hillary would have gotton 55% in an election with Obama's name on the ballot. Some of that 55% were 2nd choice votes.  I would argue she would have likely lost it.

Hillary would have won it on that date, name on or off. Obama could have won it after his winning streak. All that's moot. Hillary Clinton got more votes than uncommitted and more than a majority. She won the Michigan primary.

Clinton's vote total of 55% IS somewhat inflated. Many voters picked her as a 2nd choice because their candidate wasn't on the ballot. She would have not gotten over 50% and she would have likely lost if they were able to campaign here.

A vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote for Hillary Clinton. You are speculating.

[Mr. Morden]

Current motion is the one that they've probably already agreed to behind closed doors.  It would seat all Florida delegates, but only give them half votes.  This goes for the superdelegates too.

[Meeker]

Wow, the Clinton people are interrupting Clinton committee members.

Idiots

One can only imagine if this is how these people react to a rules vote what the convention will be like. Welcome back to 1968!

[Reluctant Republican]

Huffman needs to learn not to feed the trolls.

Idiots

Haha, this is hilarious

[Meeker]

Oh and booing calls for unity.

AHAHAHAHA - the Clinton DNC member just told the Clinton supporters to act like adults and shut up!

[Mr. Morden]

Lol at the back and forth with the audience.

Ickes backs the compromise, which means that the Clinton campaign has given up on getting anything better than half votes for the Florida delegation.

[YRABNNRM]

Huffman needs to learn not to feed the trolls.

I'm not a big fan of hers but I like that she asked them if they knew how democracy worked.


Ickes just supported the half vote. He'll feel the Clinton wraith later!

[Conan]

I suppose disenfranchisement of 850,000 people is coming off well?

[Eraserhead]

lol. She must suffer from the same disorder as me!

Cry me a river.

[The Mikado]

Mrs. Huffman is being humiliated by her own allies.

The Clinton people are disgracing themselves.  I really don't understand why the Clintonistas have been described as the "adults" in this process vs. the Obama "Kidz."

[Sam Spade]

The motion to approve the half-seating will be approved.  Michigan is where the fun is.

Of course, the fun is likely just beginning (or horror, depending on which side you're on).

[Alcon]

The motion passes 27-0

The Clinton catcall people are actually party officials?  Shame on them.

[Meeker]

Vote passes 27-0

No, I assume that he wouldn't be doing this if the Clinton team hadn't already agreed.

You need to stop posting. You're embarrassing yourself.

Eh... honestly it's kind of amusing anyway (for me at least).
