OBAMA: How about a RE-VOTE?
Once again, I ask Obama to push for a REVOTE in Florida and Michigan. This would be good for Obama, good for Hillary and good for the Democratic Party.
Why? Obama would have the opportunity to prove that he could defeat Hillary in FL and MI, where he was previously CLOBBERED. This would make his nomination less controversial and would end this bitter nomination fight earlier.
It would be good for Hillary since it would give her one last chance for success. If she failed, it would be over, and we could get on with our lives.
It would be good for the Democratic Party and the DNC, since it would heal the wounds inflicted by the IDIOTIC disenfranchisement of FL and MI.
It would also help the Democratic nominee in the November election, since Florida and Michigan delegates would at least feel that they had a part in selecting the nominee.
Currently, Obama is especially handicapped in carrying Florida and Michigan since he and his supporters have made many disparaging remarks about these states. Apparently Obama's desire to win is greater than his desire for "fairness" or "voters rights", which he supposedly supports. But how does Obama support "voters rights" when he supports the disenfranchisement of 26 million Florida and Michigan citizens?
And it would be good for democracy. After all, this is SUPPOSED TO BE an election. Wouldn't it be nice we actually could HAVE an election?
The money necessary to pay for the revotes could EASILY be raised by the combined forces of Hillary, Obama and the DNC. After all, Obama was just bragging that he had raised 7 million dollars in 2 days, and Hillary had raised 10 million in 7 days. So they could pay for it in ONE WEEK.
A small price to pay for democracy.
