Hillary's Challenge to Collin County Democrats denied
The Texas Democratic Party's temporary credentials committee voted unanimously this evening to deny a challenge aimed at unseating the entire Collin County delegation from attending next week's state convention.

Frederick Barrow, an Obama supporter from Collin County, tells us the committee decided to reject the challenge after it was discovered the man who made the challenge didn't live in Collin County.

During debate on the challenge this morning, at least two members of the 10-member temporary credentials committee signaled they may be willing to vote in favor of deseating the Collin County delegates because the county party held their convention last month on the wrong date.

1. Important to note - they held it a day late because they couldn't get a venue big enough
to accommodate the Caucus until the day after.

5. And Obama had opponents kicked off the ballot in his races...
Because some people printed their names on the nominating petitions instead of using cursive. The Obama people here at DU have even praised it as an example of how "tough" he is!

So what's your point?

8. You know so little about Illinois Politics
The lists were fraudulent, which is sadly an old-school chicago politicking practice here in IL. They were kicked off because he held them to the rules. God forbid we actually abide by the fucking rules.

16. no shit. If ignorance were bliss, the previous poster must be in 7th heaven
it is a time honored procedure to attack the ballot with fake candidates, usually there ONLY to demoralize and take votes away from the real opponent.
Additionally, stolen signs, window breaking, garbage threats, sidewalk issues, pesky inspections, and more are the daily fare of the run up to a Chicago primary, even general election.
Fake messages, fake phone calls, and hidden threats to chicago businesses are par for the course.

any candidate worth his/her/its weight in salt will do exactly what Obama did.

The same inane ignorance that feeds this latest, baseless, ignorant, Hillaryous attack is no different than the attack on the voting system used by the Illinois legislature.

I don't expect any apologies for the education, and certainly expect no mea cuplas. Hillaryan aryans are incapable of admitting a mistake.

2. Wait. Hillary's trying to DISENFRANCHISE VOTERS?
I thought she wanted to "count every vote." Or is that just "every vote for her"? Because that's the only way she could possibly win. What a whining loser.

3. Didn't live in the county!
:rofl:

I didn't begrudge Clinton's quixotic little attempt to play hardball, but they couldn't even do it right. Too funny.

4. Even when Hillary people are trying to enforce the rules, they break the rules.
