Accepting MI and FL at half their vote as punishment?

This is problematic for two reasons. It counts these as FAIR elections and although counting the delegates as 1/2 as much the popular vote count for these states is not half as much. That means she can use to say she is closer in popular vote, and claim victory in both states, saying he can not win the big state.

I say divide the delegates EQUALLY and as supers count for 20% of the states delegates if the state is so set that Hillary has 55% or whatever of the support in the state, now it is an issue between the citizens of the state and their supers to pursuade the super vote to be overwhelmingly one way or another to allow her the 55% she feels she deserves or what not.

Counting it at half as much is riduculous as Hillary knows she can't win the delegate count anyways, this just gives her more popular vote by making these seem fair contests and say she won two more big states she can have victory parties in.

Split the delegates equally and let the people of the state make the case to their supers to support their candidate so it is something internally.

If MI is counted 1/2 as much Obama still has ZERO votes by her count.

If Hillary wanted these counted at all she should have thought about that when she signed the agreement. Forget about it.

And this STILL pisses off the residents of MI and FL complaining that there vote is counted half as much per delegate.

Re: Listen | Report to Admin

They are right. It is illegal. The only money that can be given for her debts would be donations to her campaign. Money CANNOT LEGALLY be taken out of one campaign and given to another.

Re: Listen | Report to Admin

By End The War May 11th 2008 at 10:54 am EDT

I heard Obama can have fundraisers for her. He will have a lot of clout to get people in the party to help pay. It WILL NOT be our donation funds to help her pay her debts.

Re: Listen | Report to Admin

Here's a good KOS diary that was featured by Ben Smith in his remanders yesterday on the subject:

Link

Among other things, Obama can not give more than $2,000 from his campaign fund to Clinton's campaign -- The personal contribution limit increased from $2,000 to $2,300 for this campaign cycle, but the contribution limit for a campaign committee to campaign committee contribution remained capped at $2,000.

Please read :)

Re: Listen | Report to Admin

By David C. from Seattle, WA May 11th 2008 at 12:58 pm EDT

Look, lets END THIS DISCUSSION of Buying Out Hillary, she will distort this and use it as fuel to make her supporters think with ALL of Obama's money he is paying to somehow silence her, she will distort it.

And PLEASE no backroom deals with her, or deal for her endorsement. Frankly, I could CARE LESS whether she endorses Obama or not. I think you put Obama in a room with 5,000 of her supporters, let them ask him questions, by the end he will win all or enough of them. If she doesn't want to endorse him fine, I don't care.

I don't want to see her on the campaign trail with him when he is courting Republican an Independent vote.

I don't want her made Senate Majority leader as she has no accomplishments as Senator, and this also would just put her in a position for 2012 after she kneecaps Obama.

Also NO DEAL that Obama will help her out with her Peter Paul mess, it is time that she is accountable. This woman has no respect for the law, ethics, the constitution, the Democratic Party.

Also make it clear that if he does pay off her debts he will JUST PAY OFF the 15M$ she CURRENTLY owes to vendors, and staff members, NOT the 12M$ owed to self, 10M$ to Mark Penn or any NEW DEBT that she racks on. We need to tear up the credit card for her. No 50M$ in new debt, or us paying her personal debt.

In all fairness SHE signed the contract with these vendors, SHE should have to pay for it. She has $110 MILLION in the bank, I see no reason why she can't pay her own bills. She needs to learn her lesson.

Hopefully after the Peter Paul trial we NEVER hear from her again. This woman is so hated right now by 2012 another scandal will be exposed I can almost guarantee you. That is why I don't want a backroom deal as Hillary will expect Obama to help her out, give her a get out of jail free card.

I DON'T want to see this woman try and re-invent herself and run again in 8 years. That is why Obama needs a TOP VP like Mayor Bloomberg who can run in 8 years. Hillary is awful.

Re: Listen | Report to Admin

By LydB May 12th 2008 at 1:11 pm EDT

Here's the deal. Many millions of people voted for Hillary. Like her or not, continuing to bash her on this site is not constructive as we move into the general election. In today's New York Times, Karl Rove said we need to be careful about taking a victory lap too soon because we run the risk of alienating Hillary supporters. We can dismiss him (Rove) in public, but in private we need to admit -- heaven help us-- he may be right. I listen to friends who support Hillary and they need to time to adjust to their new reality. Lets keep our eyes on November.

Re: Listen | Report to Admin

By marytnurse, supporting Barack Obama until I see his library built on donations from We The People May 11th 2008 at 10:54 am EDT

AND here's some more info on her campaign debt; she has to retire her debt to herself before the nomination or she can't do it at all; which means, she needs to either get her butt out now or hope those donors don't pay attention to the numbers and just donate anyway!
