Florida & Michigan

It's too bad that the previous comments don't think the distribution of Florida & Michigan was fair. Would they have thought it was fair if the situation was reversed? It was very fair as Obama was not even on the Michigan ballot. Why should all the votes go to Hillary? If they're so angry they are going to vote for McCain, they are cutting their nose to spite their face.

DNC Michigan and Florida Delegates

You have cut the voters of Florida and Michigan in half. Shame on you! I will not vote Democratic unless Hillary is on the top of the ticket. I will vote for McCain and will vote out every Democratic incumbent that I am able. You are all disgraceful in your "compromise." I hope none of you gets a good night's sleep for a long time and when Obama loses to McCain, you will deserve it. You have been unfair to Hillary Clinton from the getgo, trying to shove Obama down our respective throats. He is a a political neophyte. We will not all come home in the Fall. Take it to the bank. This was a travesty. This did not unify, it again divided the party. Hillary's coalition is much larger. You are sitting in your ivory towers totally unware of the realities of the consequences of what you did on Saturday. You broke your own constitution and rules. For what? You are disgusting, the whole lot of you.

DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION

THERE WILL BE RETALIATION FOR THE WAY YOU HANDLED THE PRIMARY COUNT IN MICHIGAN. THIS IS WHAT YOU BIG-SEATED OFFICIALS CAN EXPECT.

#1 - I WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA...WILL PROBABLY GO TO AN INDEPENDENT IF HILLARY IS NOT NOMINATED.

#2 - I WILL VOTE EVERY INCUMBANT OUT OF OFFICE EVERY CHANCE I GET!

THEN YOU CAN ALL LOOK FOR NEW JOBS LIKE THE REST OF US!
