After Saturday's RBC Ruling, Will Everyone STFU About FL and MI?
AND the lame ass Popular vote lie?

This stuck-on-a-talking-point bullshit is pitiful and transparent.

Will we at least see some new material on Saturday? And will you accept the ruling?

3. Jeebus, I hope not.
It's getting damn near absurdity. I can't post in a thread without having to wade through popular vote bullshit.

8. Yep, it's getting thick.
I hope the mods/admins will be reasonable enough to declare Obama when he has the delegate count, NOT when Hillary concedes. So, hopefully we won't have to deal with this crap all the way up to the convention.

15. Shut the *^%*^% up, Donny.
What the fuck are you talking about? The chinaman is not the issue here, Dude. I'm talking about drawing a line in the sand, Dude. Across this line, you DO NOT... Also, Dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.

24. Fuck It. Let's Go Bowling.
I love that movie. Every now and then I'll order a White Russian -- but it's not the same unless I'm in my bathrobe.

11. Popular Vote?
Doesn't even count in GE. Doesn't count Caucuses. I hope all you Fellow Americans remember all this BULLSHIT when SPOILED SPORT runs again in 2012.

13. nobody believes it. not the superdelegates. not us.
except for a few of her most loyal - and I don't even think they buy it, as much as they hope other people will.

then there are the dittoheads who repeat it any chance they get - just for kicks.

6. Wes Clark told Dan Abrams that she is taking fight to convention
So I don't think The Enablers will be shutting up anytime soon. So sad! I was a big Wes Clark fan, too! :(:(:(

12. I really hope it's a red herring.
I hope he has said that only to give an impression, intimidation. Mixed reports come from "aides", some saying she will drop after Tuesday.

I don't think she has the support for a Convention fight. Her Superdelegates would start leaving, and all she would have to look forward to at the Convention would be MAJOR embarrassment.

18. The new number will not be 2210. It will most likely be 2117.
That is half of the delegates from MI and FL. I think Obama has enough Superdelegates set to endorse after Tuesday that he will clinch, no matter which number is decided on.

19. Definitely not, because the point of much of the noise is to cost the Democrats the election. (NT)

23. Not a chance in hell...
The RBC is obviously DLC. No doubt about it.

Unless, of course, they rule in my candidate's favor...

25. Just saw this on MSNBC Chuck Todd

says he has sources that say it's clear MI and FL will be penalized

Hillary could come out with either a 6 point lead in Florida, or 19 delegate lead
Pray for the 6 point, I think the reason for the different numbers is
19 pts means the SD's out of florida will count as a full vote

and 6pts means all the delegates got cut in half

26. You can turn DU into a censored echo-chamber if you want, but...
People in Michigan are still angry.

From today's Free Press:

Dems risk losing Mich., Fla.

Those who ridicule the need to count the results of Michigan's 2008 primary miss the point. They underestimate the feelings of Michigan Democratic voters who are incensed because our votes were stolen from us twice: the 2000 presidential election and the 2008 primaries.

27. haven't you been paying attention? Michigan's votes will count, just by half. A fair compromise
if ever there was one.

Clinton is dragging her followers along as far as she can take them.

32. Nope, neither the Hillbots nor their Queen will accept the ruling UNLESS it hands them the nom...
..otherwise they will keep on bitching and moaning until the party elders and then SD finally step in after the last primaries and put her out of our misery...
