START PLANNING FOR AN FL AND MI RE-VOTE
To avoid a civil war within the Democratic Party, it would be a good idea for the Hillbama and the DNC to start seriously planning for re-votes,or run-off elections, in Florida and Michigan. This would take place at the end of the primary election cycle only if the full delegate count of Florida and Michigan would come into play.
And NO STUPID CAUCUSES!!! Caucuses are a bunch of elitist SHIT. I don't have 4 hours to spend on stupid voting. The run-off election should use the same voting equipment and facilities as the first primary did. It also MUST include the standard 3 weeks of early and weekend voting. And it must be a SECRET ballot. We don't need a bunch of strongarm meatheads telling us who to caucus for. Caucuses are a bunch of SHIT.
It also MUST be financed by the Democratic candidates and the DNC. Obama alone took in $32 million this month. Those turkeys have enough money to pay the governments of Florida and Michigan for the cost of the re-vote.
If it is close, both Obama and Hillary will NEED to have run-off elections in Florida and Michigan. Why?
HILLARY: Altho she won a resounding victory in Florida and Michigan, Obama did not have an opportunity to campaign against her. And there is probably no way in hell that Obama's supporters will allow her to count any delegates for her victories in FL and MI. At least not without some very destructive Total Thermonuclear War within the Democratic Party. And that is not very productive.
Consequently, even tho Hillary ALREADY WON Florida, there is no way that she will get credit for it without a re-vote. And with her big victory of 50-30, Obama would have to make significant headway to defeat her. So it would be very much in her interest to push for a re-vote.
The same logic holds for Michigan.
OBAMA: If Obama "wins" the nomination by not seating the full Florida and Michigan delegate count, he will be SHUNNED by Florida and Michigan Democrats. To put it MILDLY. Floridians are STILL fuming over the 2000 election abortion where Bush stold the White House. To have a DEMOCRAT now DISENFRANCHISE them as well would be UNFORGIVEABLE. It would be a HUGE and FATAL error on the part of the Democratic Party.
It is highly likely in that scenario that Florida and Michigan would go Republican. The margin one way or the other in Florida is very small, and the Democrats can not afford to lose any Democratic votes.
So Obama would really have no choice.
And let's face it. Having a re-vote, at the end of the primary season, is the only FAIR solution. The DNC would no longer have any grounds to punish Florida since, God knows, they were not holding the stupid election early!!!
Indeed, this would also serve as a good lesson to those states who push their primaries up earlier and earlier. Sometimes it's best to be the state that votes LAST!
But it is very important to start planning for these re-votes NOW. The process will take time, and it will be necessary to get the approval of the FL and MI state legislatures.
This is not something that should be done in the middle of the Convention. Planning should begin now, and if the FULL delegate count for Florida and Michigan would come into play, the re-vote would proceed.
After the 2000 abortion, doing anything other than a re-vote of this nature would be UNFORGIVEABLE! The Democratic Party would be selling it's soul and acting like those Republicans that they so hated in 2000.
The Democrats who have spoken out against the Republican vote stealing in 2000 would be revealing themselves as the VILEST of LIARS and HYPOCRITES if they did not support the re-vote.
I have no objections to Obama being nominated. IF, and ONLY IF, it is done FAIRLY, and it includes the FULL DELEGATE COUNT of Michigan and Florida. And that delegate count is based upon the VOTERS of the states of Florida and Michigan.
So let the best man, er, person, win.
