Gender problems once again, heaven forbid that Hillary should have the audacity to want to win. Isn’t that what this election is all about? Are McCain or O’Bama ridiculous because they want to win? Whoops, I guess some voters and reporters temporarily forgot. Women can be ambitious and, it’s okay.

Michigan’s election was irrelevant because Obama wasn’t even on the ballot. If Florida and Michigan have another election, the results might not help Hillary as much as we expect it to. Obama might actually do better this time around.

Quote from: http://www.rpof.org/article.php?id=304

> Kirk Wagar, Obama’s Florida finance chairman, said a do-over would likely accomplish nothing. Though Clinton won 50 percent of the Jan. 29 vote — beating Obama by 17 percentage points — Wagar said a second contest would likely be tighter. The result could be the candidates dividing the state’s delegates almost equally — effectively doing nothing to decide the nomination contest.

Florida wanted to affect the outcome by holding their primary before Super Tuesday. This was approved by the state party and an almost unanimous decision in the legistlature (passed 151-1). The DNC decided to prohibit the candidates from campaigning in Florida, but allowed fundraisers. Now Florida wants their delegates to be counted. They’re trying to have it BOTH WAYS, which is just not fair. The taxpayers should not have to pay for the State Legislature’s decision, one that the Florida Democratic Party allowed, and neither should the DNC which made the rule which the FDP agreed to.

> “If our choice is to be relevant and have no delegates or be irrelevant and have delegates, I’d rather be relevant…” (State Senator Jeremy Ring, The Palm Beach Post, 05/22/07)

> “It’s clear the Legislature wants to move the date up, the Florida Democratic Party would have no objection to that,” said Mark Bubriski, a spokesman for the Florida Democratic Party. (The Miami Herald, 03/21/07)

Clinton didn’t win Texas. This has to be the most prematurely-reported error in the past few days by the media.

When the Texas caucus is done reporting, all figures show that Obama will likely have won more Texas delegates, in total (+3 to 7 or so).

She’s being ridiculous. Even if she was still a viable candidate, Obama has said that he is certainly not running for VP. And he’s well aware that the major base of his support would never vote for HRC and would feel ultimately betrayed if she was on his ticket. It’s all talk, nothing more. “Dream ticket” my eye.
