Marc,

By posting this, are you suggesting that Florida and Michigan are still in play for Hillary? I hope not. The Democratic Party can kiss its ass goodbye if those states were to seated based on the results of those bogus primaries. What kind of banana republic counts the result of an election wherein the voters were told beforehand that the results wouldn't count?

I think it's going to be over before the Credentials Committee has to get involved.

Scott Maddox? Do you know where he's from? The only Scott Maddox I know of (and of course, there could be many of them) is from Tallahassee, Florida. If it's the same guy, he was the mayor for a time, but the mayor was a rotating position for members of the City Council. He was pretty active in Democratic politics in Florida.

I know he was a big Bill Clinton guy, but not sure where he is on Hillary. Interesting that someone from Florida would be part of the committee.

Good reporting, Marc. This will become very important if Clinton somehow wins the popular vote (incl. FL not MI) and something "embarassing" comes out re Obama.

Right now, it doesn't look like it will matter. Obama is slightly ahead of McCain in poll of polls (Clinton's behind) and Obama looks like he'll win the pop vote.

Don Beyer the Volvo guy? See, I knew that not all Obama supporters drink lattes and drive Priuses. Some drink mochas and drive Volvos.

If Hillary manages to seat Michigan and Florida as is - DISASTER. I assume Howard Dean and most of the Democratic elders are sensible enough to realize that.

Laura Harris worked on the Richardson campaign, so if his endorsement means anything, she goes for Obama.

To ignore the Florida and Michigan votes is to offer these states to the Republicans in the general election. Please wake up before it is too late.
