Clinton compares Florida/Michigan to Zimbabwe

What would be a better comparison? Soviet Russia?

I like when she compares it to Florida 2000, when the evil Republicans disenfranchised hundreds of thousands of Floridians.

Now it's the Obamian Democrats doing the horrible thing that formerly only Republicans do.

Count every vote, she repeats. Every vote should be counted: A truth so self-evident it shoulda been in the Declaration of Independence.

What will the Rules Committee decide on May 31st?

And will Hillary...BRING IT TO THE CONVENTION FLOOR?

He doesn't "win the delegates" with a simple plurality. He only wins if he gets the magic number of 2208 (counting Florida and Michigan).

Today's announcement that he's won is just spin. No one's won yet, and no one can win till the Rules Committee votes on the mess that Donna Brazile and Howard Dean created.

Oye, let them count up Florida and Michigan. Clinton will still trail. This will be determined by the Super Delegates. What is Einstein's definition of insanity again?

"Just to clarify - weren't Ickes and other Clinton supporters directly involved in the decision to strip Florida & Michigan? And didn't Terry McAuliffe (then DNC chair) famously tell Michigan that they would get nowhere near Boston if they moved up their primary in 2004?"

Madbrian... please stop allowing your self to get bogged down in facts and details. It doesn't make for a very good story to suggest that team Clinton might have only been in favor of penalizing Florida and Michigan for violating the rules until it became inconvenient for them to do so.

ETA: And for the record, I agree. COUNT EVERY VOTE. If only so that when Obama wins the nomination we won't have to listen to all of this sour-grapes whining any more.
