Excellent, Hampster. Thanks for the honest report and for sticking with Hillary. She's damn lucky to have you.

PS - what's most important about Fla and Mich is not the seating of the delegates per se, because whoever gets the nomination will of course do that -- it's letting 2.3 million people have a voice in choosing the nominee.
I wanted to tell him about my 87 year old mom in Florida who keeps asking why her vote doesn't count, again.
I wanted to ask Dean the same question (my mom is 79 tho) and hung around the entrance door hoping to shake his hand and get his ear. When he arrived though he was surrounded by half a dozen guys serving as a shield who very quickly wisked him through hall. (maybe Dean's taking a lot of heat these days?) What a contrast with Jeanne Shaheen's entrance/exit -- she talked with everyone she met.
btw, Wasn't Jeanne's speech great? -- loved the "one vote does count" theme.
These are the states that didn't even matter in 1992: April 28: Pennsylvania May 5: DC, Indiana, North Carolina May 12: Nebraska, West Virginia May 19: Oregon, Washington [primary] May 26: Arkansas, Idaho [primary], Kentucky June 2: Alabama, California, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio June 9: North Dakota
Every Presidential Primary their are some states who end up not mattering. Same thing this year.
OK or right this time around? What a terrible argument you are spamming every diary possible with.
Those are the FACTS. The only reason clintonites even care is because they think Mi.and Fl. will give hillary the nomination. Sorry, but it's over. Michigan and Florida will be seated so what's your problem now?
you know the FACTS. Still don't get it, but for some reason, I don't think you do either...
I get your anger. I also get how some elements of this diary probably made your blood get hot (it did mine). But you know, sometimes we can be right without having to rub it in. Kos' delegate counter has Obama's delegates needed count down to 118. Meanwhile, Hillary's seems to be growing. The party will find a way to seat delegations from MI and FL, and it won't change the results.
It sucks really damned bad when your candidate doesn't win. It makes you angry and makes you say things that are sometimes over the top. I was ready not to vote for Kerry after Dean lost in '04. For the most part this was a positive diary. Let's give them a little time and save the fight for the Republicans and the McCain advocates.
about a victory you don't have.
