THE POPULATION/DELEGATES OF ALL CAUCUS STATES EQUAL
|
|
The population of the caucus states that are Obamas claim to fame is less than 1 million. Iowa, which supposedly sets the trend for the primary season way what - 1000 votes.
The super-delegates should also consider that these caucus states are nothing compared to the results in other states. Of course Clinton doesn't do as well in them - the discrimate against her base - eldery, handicapped, hospitalize, blue collar workers who can't leave work to go to the caucus, young couples or single parents who cannot attend the caucus.

Number Two: Your information of "1,000 votes" seems to be way out there, could you please site your source?
Number Three: Iowa has MORE than 1 Million People, somewhere around 3 to 4 Million residents.
Number Four: I do not believe that my state is "nothing compared to other states".
Number Five: I am a single parent and while I have np preference in this race, I am proud to say that the turnout in Iowa was almost double that of 2004, and many people attended our caucus with there young childern, including me.
Please do not Alienate Iowa when there are a great many democrats trying to turn this state blue, no matter who our nominee is.
7pm on a Tuesday is exactly what I am talking about with caucuses discriminating against large blocks of voters. This makes it very difficult for elderly, handipcapped, impossible for hospitalized with no absentee ballots.
At 7 pm on a Tuesday and the doors get shut it is impossibly for 1000s of people who work shift work to attend. Hospital workers, police, etc. And I would bet more people with children did not bring them out at 7 pm on a school night than did.
It's sad that your turnout of 2500 is doubled from the last cycle. I am sorry - I never meant to say that each and every single vote cast in your primary meant any less than any other vote cast in this country - but I do not want to put a president in office because he won all the caucus states which totaled less than a million votes for himbecause he claims to have won the most states.
And if you think I am trying to alienate your state or think your vote is nothing - try being me. I am from Michigan. This year my vote is nothing!
I am sorry you had no voice. Go to HillaryCLinton.com, you can write a letter to this Rules Committee, voice your opinion. After May 31, if the votes mean nothing, I will honor your State and Floridas and will vote for another candidate. You have just been dismissed as nothing as working people are, women, Hispanics and Asians.
I am so sorry, I know how it feels.
I have even spoken with Mark Brewer, Michigan's state chair and a member of the DNC rules and bylaws committee. He assures me barack has to agree and will only agree if he is given a 50/50 split. I find this reprehensible to barter our voters and manipulate election returns - even more than taking my vote.
I find the DNC to be undemocratic in holding off any decision until they see exactly what Obama needs to be successful. They have played such games with this. 18 months ago they said the elections could be counted under certain criteria and they have yet to enforce that - insteand leaving in the laps of the candidates.
My other question is why have this little meeting before the last primary and Puerto Rico.
I encourage Hillary Clinton to take this to the floor of the Convention because she has been ripped off by the DNC, Obama, the media and the officials in both states. She has been robbed of this election.
It's ridiculous.
