Madfloridian's Journal - Clinton and surrogates will likely use FL and MI to declare Obama not legit.

It is in play here already at DU, at Talk Left, at No Quarter, at Taylor Marsh.

There is a post here today on greatest page saying that there will be an asterisk by his candidacy.

There is a post saying there are no rules that cover FL and MI.

There are people in this forum today saying that Obama will never be considered legitimate because of FL and MI.

A major poster here at DU says Obama thinks winning the nomination is enough and will blame his loss in the general on racism.

I have been asked why I am so passionate about telling the truth about what Florida and Michigan did.

I always said it would be used by Hillary Clinton as a way to take this fight all the way to convention and....as Bill Nelson so famously said....to get the floors there all bloody.

U.S Senator Bill Nelson (D) Fla., spoke about a number of issues facing Floridians today. At his office in West palm Beach, Senator Nelson discussed a possible solution for the democratic delegate issue – and voiced concern that if something wasn’t done soon to reach a compromise there could be “blood on the floor” in Denver during this year’s Democratic Convention.

His exact words were, I believe, from the video...blood all over the floor.

Now I am being vindicated. These two states are going to be used by the Clinton campaign advisors and by surrogates and by many supporters to declare the Obama nomination illegitimate. It is already starting.

It will probably work.

May I use Hillary Clinton's own words in a St. Pete Times interview.

"I don't think it's up to Sen. (Barack) Obama or me to dictate any resolution. I think it's up to the DNC to decide how to proceed, and I would hope that it would do so recognizing what's at stake,'' Clinton said in the interview late Sunday. "It would be tragic if we came out of this process ignoring the will of 1.7-million Floridians, setting us up for a very unhappy electorate in the fall, giving Republicans this incredible argument they could make against us."

...."So why didn't she speak up sooner about the need to count the votes of Florida Democrats, rather than wait until her campaign was in trouble after losses in Iowa and South Carolina?

"I was a little preoccupied,'' she said, laughing. "I was trying to stay alive, frankly."

.."The elected officials in Michigan were all united — let's revote. The Democratic National Committee decided to support a revote. The only person who didn't want to let people vote was Sen. Obama,'' Clinton responded.

"The cynical explanation is, no, Sen. Obama does not want people's votes to count. We're Democrats. I thought we believed in counting votes."

The posts here today and this week are showing a pattern. That because of FL and MI Obama will not really be the nominee. Truth has been ignored here by the media, they have played along with the official version from the Florida Democratic party that the big bad GOP bullied them into voting 115 to 1.

The Clinton campaign has managed to make people think the DNC broke their own rules, which is hogwash, and that they are the enforcers of delegate rules...like a supercandidate swooping to save the voters of those two states from a fate worse than death.

The pattern showing is that if FL and MI don't get their full slate seated just as they want....then Obama will not be legit.

My prediction is this. There will be no relief here at DU when he is declared the nominee. The posts will be readied, the posters will be waiting, and the forum will be filled with the scenario.

That is going to be the worst tragedy of the primary, and it might just destroy our party.
