I am starting to lose respect for Pelosi:

I lost respect for her a while ago. I think it's clear she's been trying to railroad the process for a while. I'm starting to wonder what Obama's promised her.

Originally all three canidates - Clinton, Edwards, and Obama were on the ballot for MI. Obama and Edwards withdrew their names; Clinton did not. So, the people who wanted Clinton voted for her and the ones who wanted Edwards or Obama voted ‘Other’.

All three names were left on the Florida ballot. They were not allowed to campaign in either state but the week leading up to the FL vote Obama released a nationally run TV ad that was shown in Florida on CNN and MSNBC. That was a loop-hole to allow him to campaign in that state that I know Obama recognized – he is a attorney after all.

Also, a pro-Clinton union group independently did their own campaigning for Hillary.

So, technically, there was campaigning for both Clinton and Obama and both names on the ballot for Clinton and Obama for the Florida vote.

It has been reported numerous times that most Floridians didn’t realize their vote didn’t count when they voted. I’ve worked more than enough customer service jobs in this country to know that at least 85% of Americans don’t listen to anything. Even though the DNC said the votes wouldn’t count in advance, I’ve read that the local democratic party was trying to force the DNC to back away from the sanctions so it may not have been as publicized in that state if the local party was trying to keep that under wraps and force the sanctions to be lifted.

Honestly, I do think that it would be fair for the FL votes to count. As for MI, that’s a bit more iffy even though all voters weren’t forced to put Clinton down as their choice: those for Obama and Edwards voted ‘Other’ and those votes combined still lost to Clinton. Also, I know that Obama would be singing a different tune about those votes counting if he had won both states- he needs those delegates since he can’t hit the magic number right now.

Thanks for straightening that out. I'm one of those voters that went in and voted for Hillary and her name was on the ballot, so no worries for me. I can't believe they would withdraw their names. WTH?

From what you wrote, they should include Florida in there for sure. Michigan is dicey, but I would still like MY vote to count, since I had to drop the kids off at grandmas, so I could vote in peace. Some people have a hard time going out and voting and it would be nice to have it count. I feel that I wasted my time, if they don't count it one way or another.

Oh, and I'm still here!

But honestly, we probably all should drop this topic so that we don't upset the Mod's right now.

I agree. I don't want to see anyone here get sucked into whatever the trouble is.

Shhhh.... You'll have some of them here 'splaining things again.

That's what I'm beginning to think. I didn't watch Larry with Pelosi last night, because I got sucked into a bad Supernatural goes reality show type thing instead. Then I got to watch LOST! YAY! Love that show. DH hates that it's on now at 10, so he can't go to bed early on Thurs nights.

Gotta go see what the kids are doing, there's seems to be a lot of splashing in the tub this morning. Kids are out of school today due to Parent/teacher conferences; which I have one to go to at 1:45.

It's quite a confusing mess.

But yes, that poem is wonderful. And btw Robin, I love that picture of your daughter in your signature. It would make a wonderful poster for that place, the look on her face is just so deep and powerful about a child's wish for peace.

That would be a terrible thing, truly.

I sincerely hope that is not true.

It was nice. Please post again when you can to let us know you're still here. Oh no.

Thank you. It was such a moving place, I am amazed that I could take the photo with all the tears in my eyes. Those are all strings of paper peace cranes in the background and the world to the right is also made of paper cranes.

No worse than losing some of our other friends....
