Wayne Barrett: Obama Blocked Revotes In FL/MI

Speaking for me only

Misery loves company, and I want to welcome Wayne Barrett to the wrath from Obama supporters for telling the truth about revotes in FL/MI:

Since one campaign (Hillary Clinton's) was amenable to redoes, even financing Michigan's, and the other campaign (Barack Obama's) opposed every feasible proposition, it is, in a strange way, true that the two sides weren't collectively ready for a deal.

In all the buzz about the media's pro-Obama tilt, its indifference to his resistance to including these states in the "actual" nominating process is its most disturbing favor, especially since this brand of "conventional politics," as Obama would put it, flies in the face of his contention that "the people" should pick the nominee. Obama's only proposal so far has been to split the delegates evenly, just like he and Michelle parcel out Christmas presents to their two daughters.

Welcome to my hate mail Mr. Barrett. More . . .

I want to respond to our newly minted Democrat John Cole who seems to have a hard time understanding why a credentials fight at the convention would be Barack Obama's fault. Lert me try it slowly with you John.

(1) the ONLY reason we would have a credentials fight at the Convention is over the Florida and Michigan delegations.

(2)If there were a revote in Florida and Michigan, there would be no fight over the credentials of those delegations.

(3) Barack Obama blocked revotes in Floirida and Michigan.

Is that too complicated for you John?

P.S. It sure would be nice to have a chance to win in Florida and Michigan in November. Just a thought.
