DNC Committee Chair Dean Fails In Resolving Michigan/Florida Delegate Fight


Friday the State Democratic Committee of Michigan voted not to have a Democratic Primary re vote. If Howard Dean, Chair of the Democratic National Committee, together with Democrats all over the U.S. can't resolve their own mess, when it comes to Michigan and Florida delegates, then we better get ready for some ticked-off voters who will not support their Democratic Nominee come the election in November. And if this happens... John McCain will win the election and become our next president.

The decision Friday by the Michigan Democratic Party executive committee not to hold a of re-run of their presidential primary further complicates Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's (N.Y.) chances of catching Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) in the popular vote count.

For much of the last few months, Clinton's campaign has pushed hard for re-do votes in Michigan and Florida, knowing that without wins in the those two states it is extremely difficult for the New York Senator to overtake Obama in the raw totals -- where he leads by more than 790,000 votes -- before the end of the nomination process on June 3.
