Official DNC RBC Committee Discussion over MI and FL

[Franzl]

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

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

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

You're the one embarrassing yourself. You are officially joining a camp of not counting votes. You're unAmerican. We don't disenfranchise people in America. I will give leeway with Michigan, but absolutely not for Florida.

Democrats can no longer claim to have any moral authority over voting rights.

Follow the rules and we count your votes. Kthnxbye.

And I'm just shocked to see a Clinton supporter using Republican talking points. Shocked I say.

I will support Obama as a nominee. Until he's the nominee, I will fight for my choice.

Go ahead and do that.

[Flying Dog]

Ickes says that the Clinton campaign reserves the right to take the Michigan issue to the credentials committee.

I hate him

You're using republican tactics of disenfranchisement to win an election and Obama has been using their tactics, and so has Hillary, this whole campaign.

I will support Obama as a nominee. Until he's the nominee, I will fight for my choice.

I'm using Democratic tactics of following the rules as they are laid out.

And I'm glad that you will remain loyal to the party. Thank you.

[Meeker]

Someone literally yelled "shut up" to a Clinton heckler. This is hilarious

[Erc]

I just tuned back in...what's the proposal currently under discussion?

[Eraserhead]

Clinton's supporters are just absolutely embarrassing.

[Conan]

By the way, if anyone needed any more proof, the Clintons are no longer in control of the Democratic Party.

You bet your ass.

This has been evident this whole campaign.

[Meeker]

I just tuned back in...what's the proposal currently under discussion?

Michigan 69-59 with half votes. They passed Florida proportionally with half votes.

[Sam Spade]

Michigan proposal:  Clinton 69 (34.5 votes), Obama 59 (29.5 votes).  This is a vehement Clinton woman proposing this.  May not be as bloody as Sam expects.

Listen to Ickes if you want to understand what will be going on.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Does Edwards get any delegates from Florida?

[Franzl]

When are they going to vote on Michigan?

[Meeker]

Wait, are the 59 Uncommitted or Obama?

[Meeker]

Does Edwards get any delegates from Florida?

13, for 6.5 votes. 9 of them have already endorsed Obama.

It's Ickes. What do you expect him to say?

[Mr. Morden]

Wait, are the 59 Uncommitted or Obama?

Obama.

[Meeker]

Wait, are the 59 Uncommitted or Obama?

Obama.

Ok. I zoned out and thought that man said they were Uncommitted.

It's Ickes. What do you expect him to say?

He's the Clinton mouthpiece on the committee - therefore what he says is quite important.

[Alcon]

Wait, are the 59 Uncommitted or Obama?

Obama.

Ok. I zoned out and thought that man said they were Uncommitted.

I thought he said that too?

Ickes is most likely speaking for the Clinton campaign.  Of course, that doesn't automatically mean that Clinton will go ahead and press this to the convention, but she's leaving that option open, whereas I think she's given up on getting any kind of better deal on Florida.

Of course he reserves the right. I mean, Obama could get assasinated right?

If Obama gets assassinated, Clinton would win the nom. even without getting a better deal from FL or MI.  She would only need a handful of Obama delegates to cross over in order to get a majority at the convention.

Motion passes 19-8

[Meeker]

Motion passes 19 - 8.

Our long national nightmare is over.
