How dare the DNC seat the delegates from Florida and Michigan! They broke the rules because they wanted to influence the election, and now they want to influence the election again! This is grossly unfair. And now HRC who thought she had this whole thing sowed up is now taking the "moral" high road by insisting the DNC break the rules. How can it be moral and a high road when she is breaking agreed-upon rules? Only she could come up with that line of reasoning. Ob's name wasn't even on the Michigan ballot, plus he didn't even campaign in Florida where he had zero name recognition but always does better whenever he campaigns. This is grossly unfair. We will be marching at the DNC if the DNC violates the very rules THEY set up and by which OB played fairly.

I suggest that a special panel be arranged to deal with this problem and think that president carter should head such a panel Call it the CARTER COMPROMISE. This panel should have five or seven people on it and be give two days to come up with a solution ....It is obvious that Howard Dean , who openly supports Sen. Obama should have nothing to do with a solution to a problem that HE cause with his original decision which was utterly foolish. Each campaign should have one member of the panel....Sen Clinton could choose her husband if she wanted and Obama could choose a representative.. the other two or four members could then be chosen with each campaign having veto power over anyone presented up to five vetos. Then let them meet in a small room in a hotel someplace.......No note taking allowed or any transcripts taken or made public. Then the results could be presented to the two campaigns for final approval....If either campaign refused to accept the findings of the CARTER COMPROMISE they would be required to present their objections in writing to the general public. After two days the panel would meet again to try to resolve any remaining differences. Obviously, Sen Obama has put himself over the party by remaining adamant that the Florida voters not be heard...he lost in a landslide. Well the alternative is for the Democrats to lose avery hard-fought general election because Sen. Obama wants to slap these voters in the face. What a sad day for the Democratic party that Sen Obama is so self-centered and short-sighted. Frankly, if the Florida delegates were awarded in the proportions that the primary indicated, Sen Obama would still retain an edge and the rest of the states would decide the nomination Is Sen Obama afraid that he cannot win the rest of the states??? If he is afraid, then it is obvious that he is not the right candidate for the Democrats to nominate for the general election. Certainly, if he does slap the Florida voters in the face, he puts those twenty-some electoral votes in serious jeopardy and the Democratic party again will not control the White House. Should McCain win and be a one term president, the republican vice-president will gain standing to be a very strong candidate in the next election and a subsequent term.........We democrats could be looking at twelve more years of Republican control thanks to the selfishness of one man. I urge that a Carter Compromise be considered... God Bless a country were a lowly citizen like myself can make such a humble proposal robert lipka

If the shoe was on the other foot you better believe Hillary would fight to keep things the same. The rules are the rules and Hillary agreed to the situation prior to her struggle to get the nomination. Obama better be careful. Hillary wants this nomination so bad that she might even have Obama assassinated. Sad to say but she will do anything and has had people mysteriously die during Bill's term. Personally, I am enjoying watching Hillary go down.
