Re: [Dems2008] Re: Florida

50/50 is not an offer, it's an insult.  All of the delegates in Florida, including the obama delegates, have said that isn't acceptable.

Delegate on CNN last night:

SCHULTZ: Anderson, I can tell you that our delegation is united against a 50-50 split. That includes Obama supporters, as well as Clinton supporters, and our members that have not taken a position. A 50-50 split makes absolutely no sense. There are 1.7 million voters that went to the polls on January 29. We had a record turnout, and whoever the nominee is needs to be selected by Democrats from all 50 states who weighed in. A random 50- 50 split makes absolutely no sense and would be unfair and would disenfranchise voters in Florida.

SCHULTZ: And I would like -- you know, I would like, Anderson, to hear Senator Obama, you know, once and for all say that he thinks Florida's delegation should be seated. Because I've heard a lot of his surrogates go near that statement. David is saying it here tonight.

But I think that voters in Florida need to -- they've heard from Hillary Clinton. She believes the Florida delegation should be seated. We would love that -- those words from Senator Obama's mouth, and we have yet to hear that.

The Obama campaign started this process long ago. They were the first
to reccomend a 50/50 split. So no he is not holding up the process.

Clinton first turned down the 50/50 split offered a month ago. Who is
holding this up???? This whole situation was the making of the DNC
rules and bylaws committee who is chaired by two Hillary Clinton
supporters. Gee isn't it nice how those lies percolate.
