BREAKING NEWS..... FOX NEWS CHANNEL.....
More than a third of the Democratic Party committee charged with deciding the fate of Michigan and Florida delegates have donated to the campaigns of Clinton or Obama, a USA TODAY analysis shows. Most of the money -- more than $23,000 -- has gone to Clinton, who wants the delegates counted to boost her uphill presidential bid, the analysis shows. Obama has received nearly $6,000. Eight of the board members have given to the Clinton Campiagn, while two of the board members have given to the Obama Campigan. 13 of the board members are strong Clinton supporters while 8 of the barod members are strong Obama supporters and 9 are uncommitted, but two are leaning towards Clinton.
Could this work in Hillary Clinton's favor tomorrow????? Blog members, what do you think????

Two the board members have stated that they will be voting to have the delegates and popular vote in michigan & florida counted in full as they were cast in January.... Also, two of the board members can not vote because one lives in michigan and the other lives in florida where the issue is about seating the delegates; one of those board members is a obama supporter and the other is uncommitted.
If all 13 of Clinton's supporters vote in her favor... she only needs atleast 3 other board members to side with her.
Is the math in her favor.... or will the board members go against what Clinton wants and split the delegates, reward no delegates or seat the delegates but only with half a vote....... while its 3am edt and we will know by this afternoon when the meeting ends.... Don't forget to watch the meeting live starting at 9am edt.

When and why did you start posting a question and then posting the answer?

The butterfly plants her own questions, then alights on the answer. Or is she a moth?

This is like one of those tricky LSAT questions.

The better question is why does this troll keep getting posted???
I understand equal voice, but simply parroting Hillary's talking points, when blatantly bunk seems kind of akin to what happened with Bush.
At least some thoughtful logic to go along, but my 3year old daughter, gets that rules make for a fair game & once we agree to em' arguing to break them is just poor sportsmanship.
Peace.

I've been watching RBC hearing and it seems to me that Mr. Ickes has been shot down every time he has spoken/tried to invoke Clinton's propaganda. Would like others viewpoints. Thanks.

Your irony sensor appears to be on the fritz.
I recommend you get that fixed right away -- you'll need it for the general election.

I just want to let everybody know, for historical reference, that May 31 was the day a dam break sent a 60-foot wall of water over the town of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, killing over 2,200 people.
I just automatically think of May 31 as Johnstown Flood Day, in case that ever pops up in conversation and it seems inexplicable or inappropriate to you.
That's just how I remember it's May 31.
So don't freak out or make a big deal out of it if I bring it up.
