She has shown to be herself a lady who is never disrespectful but always on point. I so respect and admire her demeanor and intellect. Her momma was also one smart lady.

How come she didn't advocate punishing new hampshire for violating the DNC schedule? Did her Momma also teach her that the rules only apply to some states but not others?

I love that Donna Brazile. She calls it as she sees it. She has said some great things in the brief moments she spoke. She is great....

Donna is class, no doubt about it. Next chair of the DNC, perhaps?

What's sad, in a way, is that at the beginning of all this you could tell that she was very positive toward Sen. Clinton -- not hostile toward Obama but very proud and impressed by Clinton. Losing Brazile's good opinion is something that has to - or certainly should - hurt.

Yes, changing the rules and definitions of success are called cheating. But that is what the Clintons are good at and that is what they call experience. So yes, Mrs. Clinton is right, she would have been ready from day one - to continue the lying and cheating as usual. Her husband did not inhale, he did not have sex with that woman, he manipulated words to deceive. Mrs. Clinton now follows in his footsteps, manipulating words, manipulating rules for her purposes. One feels sad for the misguided Clinton die-hards that they do not how they have been manipulated by this husband-and-wife hit team of manipulators. After eight years of Clinton scandals and eight year of Bush attacks on the law of the land and the laws of the international community, we need fresh air, not "experience".
We have been Clintonized and Bush-whacked enough.

"My momma taught me to play by the rules and respect those rules. My mother taught me, and I'm sure your mother taught you, that when you decide change the rules, middle of the game, end of the game, that is referred to as cheatin'."

And cheatin' is what they ended up with.

Disregarding their own rules and common sense in their rush to curry favor and help Obama get to the top. I guess Judas Richardson called everyone and told them that "Obama will remember you".

So, I too admire Donna Brazile. At least she warns upfront when she's about to cheat.

Donna is awesome. To watch her throughout this whole process has been amazing. She has shown class, reason and sound judgment. Now, I love her mom too!

dijimo,

Hillary won New Hampshire. Do you want that delegation to get 1/2 votes too?

lalo35adm--
Mrs. Clinton has said at great length that all the people must be represented. I live in MI. Our guy wasn't on the ballot because the Democratic Party said The Vote Wouldn't Be Counted. Biden, Richardson, Edwards, Obama AND Clinton signed a pledge not to "campaign or participate" in MI and FL and they all promised to take their names off the MI ballot. Mrs. Clinton waited until the others had already done so and then said she'd changed her mind but told the good people of New Hampshire that it didn't matter because "everyone knows that vote doesn't count anyway". Polls in Michigan and exit polls on the day of show that Michigan is evenly split between Obama and Clinton. 30,000 people wrote Obama's name in on ballots, but write ins don't count here. The Michigan democratic party and MI supporters of both Obama and Clinton worked very hard to come up with a reasonable compromise that best represented the will of the people in MI and this was the proposal that the Rules Committee ultimately voted to accept. Mrs. Clinton who says she wants all the people represented, tried to steal the entire election by trying to steal MI. She was insisting that Obama get zero votes in MI, that she get 55% and that the uncommitted votes stay uncommitted---News flash, the Clinton campaign "helped" in the selection of the "uncommitted" delegates. Also, MI has 26 super delegates who have all been in the bag for her since the beginning. If she had gotten her way, she stood a good chance of ending up with about 150 delegates out of MI. That number represents about 750% of the number of delegates she netted in her big win states of Ohio and Pennsylvania. If she had pulled it off, it would have helped her in her efforts to steal the nomination, but it surely would not have represented the will of the people of MI. The Rules Committee did their best to come up with a fair compromise and ultimately it was felt that the compromise that MI worked out for itself was reasonable. The committee worked hard and did a good job. And Donna Brazile is a peach and a down to earth wise woman!
