I love hearing that from philosophy majors right after they hit the bong. Always cracks me up.

I'm not saying that's what you are, bigdog.

and I hope everyone gets the sarcasm/word association I put with saying because I went to "college", I understand the electoral "college".

get it?

Where are our Emote guys with their over the head one?

But I like the idea of the citizenship test. I give lots of respect to those who move here and take that. Many people I know have done it. I think that would be a good standardized test if you ask me, birth doesn't mean you are given the right that so many men and women fight for, they put in their hard, often times fought, time and people should not take advantage of it. the army/navy what ever trains hard to protect that right why can't we put forth a little effort to pass a basic citizenship test?

Weird, I don't see anything about super delegate on the right side. This is just a DNC thing huh?

I believe that only the delegates in those states are disallowed. The super-delegates are not state affiliated, they are selected by the party, so they still get their vote no matter where they reside.

I wonder if their super delgates still count...but the voted delegates don't.

i honestly have no idea if michigan's and florida's SDs count.... but i DO know that hillary is trying her damndest to get their state delegates reseated at the national convention.

Basically, all the dem candidates agree to not campaign in those states. Then, hillary wins their votes out of brand recognition. (a guy goes to a vote, sees, SomeGuy1, SomeGuy2, and CLINTON, votes clinton). Then, completely after the fact, starts crying "voter injustice!" and wants the delegates allowed in. WHAT a WHORE!

I won't disagree that Hillary is evil - but this is 2008. Between CNN, FoxNews, the Internet and newspapers, it's a pretty safe bet that the voters in Florida knew enough about the candidates to vote for them.

I live in Tallahassee, FL and I don't need a candidate to come to my home town to deliver a speech to know something about their policies and ideas.
