Exactamente (5.00 / 9) (#77)

I didn't realize this afternoon that the latest proposal stole delegates from Clinton.  I thought it just awarded Obama all the uncommitteds -- unfair, but under the circumstances tolerable.

Under what delusional set of circumstances does the Obama campaign justify stealing some of Hillary's delegates?  Because if the Precious had been on the ballot, surely fewer people would hav voted for her?  

So now we are rewarding Obama for not actually being on the ballot?

Screw'em. Let Obama reap the whirlwind. In the last 24 hours, Obama and his followers have turned me from "come together" Democrat to a "screw'em" Democrat.

How can you steal delegates when (none / 0) (#137)

they are imaginary anyway?

Please understand: currently Clinton has ZERO delegates from Michigan. Michigan currently has ZERO delegates to be seated at the convention. These are imaginary delegates. If I have a pretend DeLorean and you say you've stolen it, are you guilty of grand theft auto?

You cannot steal something from somebody if they don't have it.

If all of the delegates (5.00 / 1) (#183)

are imaginary, then how can anyone argue that Obama won?

imaginary. The DNC stripped all of Michigan's delegates last summer. As a result the January vote had zero effect in apportioning Michigan delegates for the convention in Denver. That is what makes Michigan's (and Florida's) delegates imaginary.

Then why do Obama's supporters (5.00 / 2) (#244)

keep talking about how Hillary is trying to "steal the nomination" from him.

He doesn't have it yet. So how can she steal it?

2.8 million voters are imaginary? (5.00 / 1) (#253)

This is the INCLUSION your candidate proposes? Those "imaginary" voters, will be very REAL when November comes around and Florida and Michigan go RED!
