What is there to the rumor about Obama killing a vote in Florida and Michigan

[davidpdx]

Honestly I don't believe this, but I see it coming up over and over again in another forum. I've asked for proof, but gotten nothing. Is this just an outright lie?

1. Very nice, golf clap to you

2. Yes

He didn't kill it, at least not here in Michigan. The state legislature couldn't get together on it. They're still trying to figure something other than a primary out, but I don't know if they'll have any luck. They postponed our district conventions that were supposed to take place this coming Saturday and moved them to April 19, so they must figure whatever agreement may be made will be done by then. If not, I don't know how we're going to elect delegates.

5. Thanks for that clarification

Like I said I don't believe it.

3. How does he have that power?

4. The states themselves killed the idea.

He's stated that he will honor the DNC's decision, but doesn't favor seating the states as is.

6. No, he didn't kill any goats - you're confused

This is the guy who kills goats:

9. The candidates were offered the same deals, one is for options to seat delegates and one not.

The Clinton camp will support just about any plan to seat delegates the O camp will not. Doesn't take a genius to figure out why.

The Michigan legislature, predominantly republican, could care less as they have made their choices.
