Granholm and Crist: Moronic Governors of America! ...Hillary is a moron too
The two governors started this whole mess by signing the bills which allowed for an earlier primary. The Democratic Party threatened to strip it of delegates before they signed it. And now the two governors are saying that they should count? That their states should have a recount? Great, so now 25 million dollars goes to waste if you allow a re-do primary in Florida alone. Money which taxpayers spent to have such a primary the first time!
And do not get me wrong, it is horrible that these votes are not being counted, but they are the rules, and Political Parties have the right to decide whether to count these votes in determining a presidential candidate. Michigan and Florida are trying to take it to the courts. USELESS. It has already been decided that Political Parties can do whatever they like when it comes to running an election. Hillary Clinton tried to take the caucus rules in Nevada to court.
And most of this is a ploy for Hillary Clinton do win this nomination unfairly. She agreed to not campaign and agreed with the rules. You can not go back on your word, Hillary. Oh wait, you are a Clinton. No wonder.
So, Granholm and Crist knew about the rules, and knew the consequences, but are still attacking the Democratic Party. And Hillary Clinton is trying to win things unfaily. Here is a tip to Hillary: You are a complete hypocrite. You took the Nevada case to court so people could not vote, and then you want MI and FL to count. Nonsense. And Crist: STOP your bickering. It will not help your quest to become Vice Presidential Nominee. It really makes you look like a moron.

John McCain versus Barack Obama: An Ethic Battle
Assuming Senator Barack Obama wins the Democratic nomination, one will see a variety of issues which both Senator Barack Obama and Senator John McCain will argue. The War in Iraq, Poverty, Health care, Education, etc. (the usual) issues will still be argued, however the media and both senators will focus on the most important issue of their campaign: ethics.
One can determine this through arguments of John McCain’s attack on Senator Barack Obama for not accepting an earlier promise made by the two senators to only accept public financing during the general election. It is not certain whether or not Obama will accept only public financing if he is nominated to the race for the presidency, given his ability to fundraise heavily this quarter over his current opponent, Senator Hillary Clinton. And while Obama was able to fundraise over 140 million dollars, John McCain has only been able to fundraise 55 million dollars. Barack Obama may reconsider, which would cause an ethic’s issue.
On the other hand, the New York Times has reported a ‘scandal’ which states that Senator McCain might have had an affair with a female lobbyist. Even though the New York Times did not have reliable sources, nor has John McCain or the lobbyist said their relationship was romantic, it still raises questions which John McCain has to answer. The Democratic Party also filed a report with the Federal Election Commission which stated that Senator McCain had ‘broken the law’ when it came to spending and fundraising his campaign money. John McCain said he followed the rules. Joe Sandler, the General Counsel for the Democratic National Committee, even branded him a ‘liar’ in an email sent to Democratic supporters.
Both Barack Obama and John McCain believe in ethic reform in Washington, DC. Both believe lobbyists should not have such a large influence over Washington. Barack Obama’s message of ‘Change’ signifies the importance of his message to reform Washington to allow lobbyist’s limited power. John McCain believes the same, however both men have taken rewards from lobbyists, and both senators now oppose what they initially received.
When and if Barack Obama receives the nomination from the Democratic Party, one will observe that the Republicans Party and John McCain will attempt to attack Barack Obama on his message of ‘change’ including ethics. The Democratic Party and Barack Obama will attack John McCain on his question of lawfully fundraising and spending, and other ethics. This will be a long ‘ethic battle’.
