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.

The biggest nuisance of the Democratic Party: Super delegates.
Today’s Democratic Presidential candidates, the media, and Democratic Party officials are creating a huge debate of whether or not Super delegates should choose the people’s choice for president, or whether they should vote for who they feel is the ‘most qualified’. However, it should be their duty to select a Presidential nominee based on the choice of the voting populace.
If one has not heard the immense debate over the past weeks over the importance of Super delegates in the Democratic Party’s presidential nominating process and their influence over selecting a presidential nominee, then one has not been paying attention to the biggest catastrophe of the Democratic Party’s nomination process.
These Presidential Nominee King-Makers (Super delegates) are the biggest annoyance to the Democratic Party. Super delegates can potentially override the Democratic voters’ choice for a presidential nominee altogether. Currently, there are close to eight-hundred Super delegates who could swing the presidential nomination to either Senator Barack Obama or Senator Hillary Clinton. That is not to say they will, but it is plausible. Hillary Clinton’s lead among Super delegates is a prime example how these Super delegates could override the voter’s plurality and select a different candidate in any election for president.
Super delegates are a move to give politicians more of what they do not need: power. It gives Senators, Representatives, Governors, and Democratic Party ‘Elites’ the opportunity to be more powerful than the people that elect them. Super delegates discourage the party’s platform of a ‘party of the people and by the people’. Furthermore, it should be their responsibility to do what is right. Super delegates must wait for the people to decide, and then select the plurality’s choice.
Here is my advice to the Super delegates: Vote for the Presidential nominee who receives the most votes.
Here’s my advice to the Democratic Party: Do away with these ‘Super delegates’, and go with the plurality in the next nomination process.
