Dean Urges "Do-Over" Voting In Florida And Michigan
WASHINGTON - Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean urged Florida and Michigan party officials to come up with plans to repeat their presidential nominating contests so that their delegates can be counted.
"All they have to do is come before us with rules that fit into what they agreed to a year and a half ago, and then they'll be seated," Dean said during a round of interviews Thursday on network and cable TV news programs.
The two state parties will have to find the funds to pay for new contests without help from the national party, Dean said.
"We can't afford to do that. That's not our problem. We need our money to win the presidential race," he said.
Um, excuse me, Howie, but wasn't it you and the other brain surgeons at the DNC who decided that Florida and Michigan would be punished by not having their votes counted?
"The rules were set a year and a half ago," Dean said. "Florida and Michigan voted for them, then decided that they didn't need to abide by the rules. Well, when you are in a contest you do need to abide by the rules. Everybody has to play by the rules out of respect for both campaigns and the other 48 states." (H/T - Yahoo!)
Oh, so now that there is a close race, and the Hill-dabeast and the Obama-ton are arguing that "every vote be counted," you think we should have a "do-over?" Typical Democrat nonsense and double talk. That's one hell of a leader they have over there.
