If you don't believe me look at these quotes from a CNN article titled If allowed, Florida, Michigan could tip nomination:
Florida Gov. Charlie Crist says "common sense would dictate that every vote should count."
1. Why does Charlie even have a say in the rules of the DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE? He is a REPUBLICAN. He is certainly not looking at this from a non-partisan point of view.
2. Did Charlie Crist not decide to break the rules of the DNC in the first place by moving up the primary? He could have avoided the situation from the beginning by FOLLOWING RULES. He obviously did not take in to consideration of the problems and the grief it would cause the people of FL and by doing this.
Crist, who is a Republican, says he wants the votes that were already cast to be counted because the "people should be heard and not party bosses in Washington."
He and Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, a Democrat, on Wednesday called on the Democratic National Committee to seat their states' delegates.
They accused the party of silencing "the voices of 5,163,271 Americans" who voted in their primaries.
"It is intolerable that the national political parties have denied the citizens of Michigan and Florida their votes and voices at their respective national conventions," they said in a statement.
1. Why is Granholm even talking? MI only had one candidate on the ticket. THEY had it WRONG from the beginning.
2. I know we should unite and be bi-partisan but if there's one thing I don't like is A RULE BREAKING REPUBLICAN SIDING WITH A RULE BREAKING DEMOCRAT. That is absurd.
SOMEONE HAD TO LOSE... 5,163,271 is a lot of someones. But 296,139,947 is a lot MORE
What has happened to the citizens of FL and MI, and the whole of Democracy is a travesty because their voice was not heard. BUT BUT BUT it would DESTROY an entire country if 48 out of 50 states followed the rules and had the candidate of their collective voice get OVER RULED, and NEGLECTED. It is unfair that those 48 are even subjected to the notion that the entire hopes of this campaign and who is going to win may be placed in the hands of RULE BREAKERS. To the PEOPLE of FL and MI I feel for you whole heartedly, but these are the officials that you voted for. They were elected by YOU and they did not have the DECENCY, or INTEGRITY TO FOLLOW RULES. Blame THEM. Hold them accountable for it but do not punish the rest of the country. SHOW SOME DECENCY and elect better officials. FL.....LOOK AT HOW BUSH WAS ELECTED...TWICE.
HILLARY CLINTON. Why are you doing this? You are the biggest RULE BREAKER of them all. YOU and Mr. OBAMA were both given the same rules and you both AGREED to ABIDE by them. And you have the AUDACITY to stand in front of the AMERICAN public and DEMAND a rule CHANGE! We want CHANGE Hillary but NOT that kind. It is unconscionable of you, to portray yourself as the STRONG candidate. That is WEAK. If you felt so strongly for the people of FL and MI you would apologize and join them in holding those rule BREAKERS accountable. Instead you JOIN them because you never thought in a Million years that you'd be DEFEATED by BARACK OBAMA. Please STOP your charades and bow campaign legitimately or bow out gracefully because any thing else is UNCIVILIZED and Being the DEMOCRAT who Handed the PRESIDENCY back to the REPULICANS is the last person I'd want to be.
