Whew, I needed to get that out before beginning.
Could you be more out of touch? Seriously. Have you not talked to any Hillary
Clinton supporters, read their emails in your inbox?
For 4 lousy delegates? How small are you people? Could you not understand what
was swirling enough to allow Clinton her due in Michigan? Four lousy delegates?
You have no idea what you’ve done. The fury you have unleashed. Your arrogance
is topped only by your ignorance and the sheer stupidity of this “compromise,”
which sends a message that you just don’t get it. Oh, and by the way, you’ve
also likely just thrown the 2008 election.
Taking myself out of the equation, as well as my support for Clinton which
is unending, and to encapsulte the carnage wrought by Saturday’s idiocy, you have
simply given Hillary’s supporters the reason they were craving. Outraged already,
many of Hillary’s supporters were waiting for a reason to raise a ruckus, and you
just gave them one. A righteous one. They were already screaming for Clinton
to go to Denver. Now the decibel level is ear shattering.

Over 4 delegates? This is the best solution a group of supposedly astute political
minds could come up with? No wonder we lose national elections… oh, except
in the 1990s, when Bill Clinton won two terms, the first to do so since F.D.R.
Hey, but who’s keeping score?
This could not have been handled worse. It could not have made Senator Obama’s
job more difficult to “unify” the Hillary supporters behind him either, which
wasn’t going to be easy before, but is now even harder, maybe even impossible.
Over 4 delegates?
Let me enlighten you. Senator Obama is ahead in delegates. A gracious split of Michigan would not
have jeopardized his lead. But instead, the RBC, in your infinite wisdom, decided
to adjust the delegates just enough to infuriate the entire Clinton contingent
that is now set on Defcon Activist Revenge.
The perception problem created is beyond comprehension. Honestly,
you have no idea the fuse that’s now been lit. But to give you an idea. I’m
in the minority on my own blog when it comes to pushing back against a McCain presidency.
This didn’t happen because of anything Clinton did, my friends. You all cemented
it all by yourselves. Oh, with the help of some eager, power hungry people thinking they can push the Clintons out of the Democratic Party and take over without half of the people who support the Clintons signing on. Good luck with that one. Trust me, everyone knows what’s really going on.
From independentjack in the comments:
In Illinois, he eliminated the competition.
In FL, he eliminated the voters.
In MI, he stole the voters.
Thank God, he is the hope and change candidate. Otherwise, how low would
he go?
It’s not a question of whether Clinton has a course of action. She does. It’s
not even whether it’s worth it. Hillary’s supporters may demand it. In addition, by this ruling you have sent a message to
Clinton supporters that could reverberate well beyond this year.
Over 4 delegates.
John McCain will reap the rewards.
Oh, and by the way, the video at the top of this post, as well as this one and this one, are being spread far and wide by McCain supporters. We have you to thank for it.
