Florida and Michigan - Meaningless States in Primary 2008

<p>Florida and Michigan are having their pointless ‘primaries’ in just a few weeks (Michigan - 15th, Florida - 29th), but in foolishly doing so, they have made their states absolutely pointless in the Democratic Primary - and here is why.</p>

<li><p>Because of violating DNC by-laws that only NH, Iowa, SC, and NV can hold primaries before Febuary 5th, and refusing to obey them when called upon to do so, Michigan and Florida have been deprived of ALL voting rights in the DNC Convention - their delegates have no votes, no voice, and thus whoever wins in Michigan and Florida gets nothing, because their votes dont count for ANYTHING.</p></li>
<li><p>Clinton, in her corrupt slyness, had made it so that in Michigan only she, Kuccinich, and Gravel would be on the ballot - Edwards, Richardson and Obama were dropped out of the ballot based on a technicality. Kuchinich tried to drop out in protest of Clinton’s disgusting corruption, but coulnd’t due to technicalities. Now all the other candiates are rallying together in the righteous anti-hillary campaign to have “Undeclared” beat Hillary Clinton in the Michigan primary - to make a laughing stock of her pathetic attempts to rig the vote.</p></li>

<p>Basically, wow. This is pretty die-hard party-splitting and corruption. I’m just waiting to see how many other states explode and parties topple before this year’s war is over.</p>

<p>I hope undeclared beats Hillary.</p>

<p>Undeclared would probably do a better job of leading the nation.</p>

<p>I know a lot of people who are voting for undeclared in the Michigan primary, just because they despise Hillary (their words, not mine).</p>

<p>Although Michigan's democrats, especially those of Wayne County (Detroit, tends to be the only county to vote Democratic), are used to corruption... </p>

<p>BTW, I am a Michigan dem lol.</p>

<p>Where did you get this info from?</p>

<p>Just google it - its very well-covered in the News but I think the Democrats don't want it on the front page because I'm sure Michigan and Florida voters are going to be angry as heck if they all find out that their votes are invalidated...dont want to screw up once the actual election comes.</p>
