WHY IS THE GUY WHO LOST MICHGAN FOR US TALKING?
Blanchard: DNC 'flirting with a McCain victory'[fp]
PEOPLE CAN’T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG!
Democratic National Committee chair Howard Dean has finally recognized that the sparring between Barack Obama, Hillary Rodham Clinton and their backers has grown a tad disruptive. [n]
BLANCHARD A KNOW CLINTON LACKEY COMES TO HER NEEDED DEFENSE AND HER INTENT TO KEEP FIGHTING A LOST CAUSE.
Former Gov. James Blanchard blamed the Democratic National Committee’s rigid rules for the party’s presidential deadlock, saying its refusal to seat Michigan and Florida delegates at the national convention could hand Republicans the White House.[fp]
CLINTONS ONLY HOPE IS THAT HER ELITE FRIENDS WILL STOMP ON THE COMMON DEMOCRATS
Clinton said the rules applying to super delegates having a right and responsibility to pick the best candidate for president also applies to the regularly elected delegates—those who are pledged to support a particular candidate for nomination. She indicated that delegates elected to support Obama, who outnumber those elected to back Clinton, could end up supporting her based on the outcome of upcoming state contests.[BS]
BILL JUST WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT AGAIN
Just in case you were wondering what Hillary Clinton's No. 1 fan thinks of recent calls for her to drop out of the race for the Democratic nomination, Bill Clinton has three words for you: "Bunch of Bull." [MS]
"All these people tell you, 'Aw, we oughta shut this thing down now; the Democrats are so Divided,'" Clinton said at a campaign event here. "That’s a bunch of bull." [MS]
BLANCHARD WAS PRESENT WHEN THESE RULES WERE ADOPTED AND NOR IS MCCAIN FEAR MONGERING
“The national Democratic Party is flirting with a McCain victory if someone doesn’t step in and make sure Michigan voters’ voices are heard,” said Blanchard, co-chairman of Hillary Clinton’s Michigan campaign.[fp]
MARK BREWER MICHIGAN DEMOCRATIC CHAIRPERSON DID NOT FOLLOW THE RULES, HE NEEDS TO GO!
The national party won’t recognize delegates from Michigan’s Jan. 15 primary because it was held too early, in violation of party rules. But there’s been no agreement on holding a second primary or Democratic caucus that would be recognized by the natinoal party.[fp]
Michigan and Florida lost their convention nominating delegates when their party primaries were moved up in advance of the Feb. 5 “Super Tuesday” contests. Clinton “won” in both states but efforts between the camps of Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois to try to reach agreement with Democratic officials in both states on how to make their delegations count at the national convention in Denver have come to naught.[BS]
BLANCHARD, LEVIN,THE MICHIGAN DEMOCRATIC PARTY REPRESENTATIVE ON THE DNC AND THE MICHIGAN DEMOCRATIC PARTY STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE NEED TO BE SANCTIONED FOR THE DISENFRANCHISEMENT OF 500,000 MICHIGAN DEMOCRATS!
“They’re treating the rules like the U.S. Constitution or the 10 Commandments. They’ve lost their way,” Blanchard said of the DNC. He added, “I do think the presidential election process is broken. It’s broken, we have a heck of a mess.” [fp]
BLANCHARD AND HIS BUDDIES LEVIN,BREWER ET AL SHOULD PAY FOR IT!
Blanchard, during a taping of Michigan public television’s “Off the Record” this morning, said the state Legislature should reconsider holding another Democratic primary when it returns from its spring break. [fp]
IT’S A NO BRAINER THAT THE MICHGIAN DEMOICRATIC LEADERSHIP SHOULD HAVE FOLLOWED THE RUILES.
“I think, if you’re a legislator, it’s an absolute no-brainer to say, ‘Let the voters decide,’” he said. “The issue is not what’s good for Hillary or good for Obama, it’s what’s good for the voters of Michigan.” [fp]
WHY IS THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY NOW A PARTY LED MY THESE ELITE SUPER DELEGATES?
Blanchard also said he likes a proposal for a separate, national convention of Democratic superdelegates in June to break a deadlock and decide whether Clinton or Barack Obama is the nominee, before the Democratic National Convention in August.[fp]
Clinton maintained that the nearly 800 top party officials and members of Congress who make up the superdelegates to the national convention will ultimately decide the nominee since neither the New York senator nor Obama will have crossed the 2,024 delegate threshold needed to sew up the nomination.[BS]
“I think that’s a very important fact: Neither one of us can be nominated without super delegates and super delegates should exercise their right and their responsibility to determine who they think would be the best president and who would be the best nominee to defeat John McCain in the fall,” she said. “That’s the way our process is set up. That’s the way it will operate.”[BS]
I THINK THE SUPER DELEAGTES SHOULD BE EXCLUDED FROM THE National Democratic Convention.[trb]
B.S., THE DEMOCRATIC VOTER IS LOVING THIS. A REAL CONVENTION WHERE THE OUT COME IS NOT DICTATED BY A BUNCH IF INBREAD ELITES. GREAT STUFF WE WILL ALL WATCH!
Unless it’s resolved, he said, the ultimate nominee will be severely weakened heading into Labor Day, the unofficial kickoff of the general election campaign. [fp]
EVEN CLINTON DISAGREES WITH HER LAP DOG BLANCHARD
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said party leaders are free to voice their feelings about the prolonged race for the nomination but she has no intention to drop her bid and she disagrees that it will take a toll on the eventual nominee.[BS]
Clinton disagreed with those who have said the continued contest could end up tearing the Democratic Party apart and said it will “strengthen our eventual nominee.”[BS]
‘I just think this spirited exciting contest is a real plus for us and I just don’t have the worries that some people either are talking about or feeling. I think we’ll go on until it’s clear who the nominee is,” she said.[BS]
WHO THE HADIES IS BLANCHARD TO PRE JUDGE THE GREAT MAYOR OF DEETROIT!
On Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, Blanchard said he agrees with Gov. Jennifer Granholm to defer a decision to boot Kilpatirick from office until his criminal case is decided. He said if Kilpatrick is convicted of a felony, he will be forced to resign anyway.
THEN WHY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THIS?
Blanchard said if Granholm attempted to oust the mayor now, he would challenge her in court – and probably win. [fp]
BUT FOR BLANCHARDS INEPTNESS ENGLER WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN GOVERNOR , NOW HE IS GIVING DIRECTIONS?
“And that,” Blanchard said, “would weaken the governor and continue to add to the problem and do nothing for economic development,” Blanchard said. “What the governor is doing and should do is to meet with business leaders and continue plans to diversify the economy, take a look at alternative energy research and not get mired in this, which is going to be in the courts anyway and resolved there.”[fp]
BLANCHARD AND CLINTON TWO PEAS IN A POD
Does Hillary really believe Indiana will support a LIAR like her?[BS]
NOW A WORD FROM THE HILLARY AND JIMMY SPONSOR
The former president went on to note that he did not earn enough delegates to clinch the 1992 nomination until June of that year, around the same time that the final primary votes will be cast this year. [MS]
He also argued, as he often does, against the "disenfranchisement" of voters in Michigan and Florida. "She wants you to have your say," he added. [MS]
Notably, Clinton described the remaining primaries as contests for the popular vote (not for delegates.) "Now we’re going to have to go all the way through to the end to see who has the most popular votes," he said. "And that’s good."[MS]
BILL GET A GRIP
"You do not want to demoralize the base of the Democratic Party by having the Democrats attack each other," Dean told the Associated Press. "Let the media and the Republicans and the talking heads on cable television attack and carry on, fulminate at the mouth. The supporters should keep their mouths shut about this stuff on both sides because that is harmful to the potential victory of a Democrat."[N]
Ya think?[N]
