What’s a Democrat to do? What do you think?

What’s a Democrat to do? What do you think?

Howard DeanDemocratic National Committee Chairman Howard “the Scream” Dean wants Florida and Michiganparty officials to come up with ways to repeat their presidential nominating contests so that their delegates can be counted. A re-vote could cost $20,000,000. There are 366 delegates at stake. Clintontrails Obama by 140 delegates. If Florida and Michigandelegates were apportioned according to the votes cast Clinton would get 180 more delegates. Since Obama was NOT on the Michigan ballot and didn’t campaign in Florida there’s no way to know how many he’d have. This whole brouhaha started when the DNC punished Florida and Michigan for advancing their respective primary elections and said their delegates wouldn’t be counted. Of course then there are the so-called “Super delegates” members of Congress, former Presidents and Democrat party officials. They can vote for whoever they wish so it is possible Obama or Hillary could win the vote and elected delegate count and not be nominated.
