Florida Democrats file suit against Dean, DNC for cutting delegates
By Sam Youngman
Posted: 10/05/07 06:52 PM [ET]
Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) rarely put down his pocket copy of the U.S. Constitution Thursday morning as he lambasted the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and its chairman, Howard Dean, for stripping Florida of its delegates in next year’s presidential election.

We believe the right to vote, and to have that vote count, is — in fact — the cornerstone of our democracy,” Nelson told reporters. “Without it, nothing else will work.”

Nelson, with Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-Fla.), made it official Thursday they are suing Dean and the DNC for a declaratory relief injunction to prevent the party from going through with harsh penalties against the state that went into effect automatically Sept. 29. The lawmakers said those penalties effectively will negate the votes of almost 4.5 million voters.

If Hillary somehow pulls it off and gets the nomination - I would be concerned

With Barry as the Dems choice - McCain will win in November. Barry is damaged goods and it will get worse as time passes

You're golden boy is nothing but the same old same old....his numbers are nearly identical to Kerry's.


But it appears that the way Obama stacks up against McCain at this point is similar to the way in which Kerry performed against Bush in 2004 within several key racial, educational, religious, and gender subgroups. That is, the basic underlying structure of the general-election campaign this year does not appear to be markedly different from that of the 2004 election. This conclusion is based on an analysis of exit-poll data from 2004 compared to the Obama-McCain matchup in 4,000 Gallup Poll Daily tracking interviews conducted during the first five days of May.

The media has been and will continue to hype Obama up as drawing in all these numbers never before seen, like the percentage of college graduates that go for him. The problem is this was the case for Kerry too. History is going to repeat itself.

that is certainly your opinion. Kerry was running against an incumbent who had yet to fall of the edge of the public approval cliff. Obama is running against a man who fully supported that incumbent in the major issues facing this country. Obama can run against a defacto Bush third term. In my opinion, he will be successful.

And I understand your predictions about Obama. As a self declared democrat, can you tell me what democrats you have ever voted FOR?

'Recount': Still Too Close for Comfort
But 8 Years Later, There's A Clear Winner: Viewers

By Tom Shales
Washington Post Staff Writer
Sunday, May 25, 2008; Page M01

There's something especially satisfying about a can't-miss proposition that doesn't -- partly because so many hugely ballyhooed "sure things" instead land with ignominious splats. A splat is precisely what does not happen with HBO's "Recount," an electrifying slapstick tragedy about a mad moment in American politics, a moment that must never happen again but easily could.

An estimable assemblage of talents come together to revisit the bangs and whimpers that brought the 2000 presidential election to a herky-jerky, ludicrous close and installed George W. Bush rather than Al Gore in the White House. It was a flash that went by in a blur, so stupefyingly surrealistic that it seemed it couldn't really be happening. But it was, it really was, and the results still reverberate.

Placed under a figurative high-def microscope and examined studiously but at a riveting pace, "Recount" recounts in brisk and crisp docudrama style how Gore was pushed aside even after winning the national popular vote -- a defeat marked by bungling, bumbling and seemingly malicious mischief in the state of Florida. The film is a clarifying cautionary tale that concedes both that full clarification is probably impossible and that cautionary warnings could well go unheeded as early as November.

There are so many lessons to be learned, but there is so little precedent for the proverbial powers that be actually learning them.

Here was a pivotal, crucial event in the life of the country and yet, the film ruefully relates, it was handled with all the finesse and expertise of the Keystone Kops working for Barnum & Bailey. At the end, Bush honcho James Baker declares that all's well and that "the system works," and what's obviously lacking is a voice from the throng shouting out a rhetorical, "You call that working ?!"

If the mess in Florida had been resolved with as much skill and savvy as went into the making of the movie, the world might be a different place today -- presumably a better one, although no one can say for sure.

Little or nothing is ever accomplished by games of what-if, but it's hard to resist speculating how history, and not just political history, might have been different since the year 2000 with regard to such monumental events as the reaction to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11; response to the devastation of Hurricane Katrina; and the war in Iraq, including whether there would have been one and whether a single American life would have been lost.

Truth and Chads Hang In the Balance Of 'Recount'

By Howard Kurtz
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, May 24, 2008; Page C01

Things are not going well for Al Gore's team, as chronicled in the HBO film "Recount," when his longtime aide Ron Klain turns to a Democratic colleague in a bar and says: "I'm not even sure I like Al Gore."

A nice cinematic moment, and a total fabrication. Klain says -- and HBO acknowledges -- that it never happened.

The movie, which premieres tomorrow, is the latest docudrama to pledge allegiance to the facts of a historical event, but with fingers crossed. The director says he concocted certain details -- the technical term, I believe, is "making stuff up" -- in search of a larger truth.

Filmmakers love to toss around phrases such as "larger truth." But it's hard to argue that you're trafficking in nonfiction if you use people's real names -- James Baker, Warren Christopher, Katherine Harris -- and have them doing and saying things that never happened.

There's an obvious need for compression -- there were two Supreme Court hearings, not one -- in telling the tangled tale of the 36-day Florida court battle that gave the 2000 election to George W. Bush. And dialogue can't be verbatim when there's no way of knowing everything that was said in back rooms. But while dramatic license might support exaggeration, it can hardly justify some of the wholesale creation in which the movie indulges.

Dern 'Devastated' by Florida 'Because There Were Uncounted Votes'
By Brent Baker | May 25, 2008 - 15:48 ET

Asked by Howard Kurtz on Sunday's Reliable Sources how she felt, “as a citizen,” when “the Supreme Court stepped in and essentially made George W. Bush President?”, actress Laura Dern, who plays Katherine Harris in HBO's Recount film to premiere tonight at 9 PM EDT/PDT, replied that “as a citizen, I felt devastated because there were uncounted votes” and “I left the experience with a real disillusionment about the process.”

Dern's personal view echoing the liberal/Democratic spin on what occurred matches the take expressed Wednesday by actor Kevin Spacey, who plays Gore operative Ron Klian in the movie: “It does seem that on the one hand the Bush people were trying to stop votes from being counted and the Gore people were just trying to get votes counted.”

The exchange, in the pre-taped interview, aired Sunday morning on CNN where Dern appeared with the director of the movie, Jay Roach:

HOWARD KURTZ: Let me take you back to 2000. As a citizen, how did you feel when th Supreme Court stepped in and essentially made George W. Bush President?

LAURA DERN: As a citizen, I felt devastated because there were uncounted votes. And I feel so proud as an American to consider my country being a place where voice always heard and that is what was so devastating about this recount was that I left the experience with a real disillusionment about the process and really waited for my country to show me this remarkable turn of voter reform so that we'd never have to experience that again and I'm still waiting.

You have insulted nearly everyone who has ever disagreed with you, issued death wishes, brought in family members, and insulted the mods when they will not roll over for you

You do deserve everything you are getting - you brought in on yourself

So again, STFU and grow up

I am trying to carry on an intelligent conversation with you. Are you capable of debating someone who disagrees with your point of view or are you not?

Sorry if pointing out what a lar, hack, and hypoicrite you are is starting to get to you

You must not be man enough to take the truth when presented. Looking at how you glefuly bend over, grab the ankles, and take it for the party is a disgusting site to behold

But that is what Democrats have in store for all of us if the racist America hating Obama wins the WH (with the support of only 48 states in the nomination process and with less popular viotes then Hillary)

so...I guess that means you agree that you are NOT capable, nor have any desire to intelligently debate this, or any other issue with me. Have I got that about right?

I guess I will have to stop with the facts and truth about Democrats, Obama, and the screwing of Fl and MI - and then you will consider it an inteligent debate

I know all about how you operate.

I consider intelligent debate a discussion where points are raised and answered...arguments are made and refuted.

I understand full well that democrats will need to find a way to seat the delegations from MI and FL, but the truth of the matter is that their problems are self inflicted. They knew the rules going in... the candidates knew the rules going in. I don't feel that those states should be rewarded for willfully breaking the rules.

Now... you claim to be a democrat of long standing, yet you refuse to validate that claim by pointing out what planks of the democratic platform you have historically supported, other than "gay marriage" which isn't even a plank.

You claim to be a democrat of long standing yet you do not indicate that you have been upset with the democrat's superdelegate process which has been in effect for 26 years. Have you always objected, and if you did, and were a democrat, did you ever complain about the superdelegate process during those years?

Speaking of rules. In Fl the legislature sets the date for the primaries. Not the DNC. So what gives the DNC the right to penalize their own party members for voting too early when it was a repub led legislature set the date? It's the states business when primaries are held, not the party hierarchy. The Mi and Fl argument should not even be an issue.

It is something watching Democrats lie, cheat, and screw over their own voters to get the black guy the nomination

Hillary and Obama both knew and understood and accepted the ruling concerning MI and FL. Hillary - and unconcerned republicans - should quit whining.

That's why I call them the Democrat Party instead of the Democratic Party. It is a top-down organization populated by union thugs and party bosses. Democracy has nothing to do with it. The Superdelegates are chosen by the bosses and they are able to subvert the will of the usefull idiots that make up their voting base.

At least the party bosses treat their voters like they treat the rest of the country. They consider them to stupid to make the right decision, so they will make it for them

again...if you two fellows don't care for the process by which the democratic party comes up with its nominee, you are free to vote for someone else!

Be fair now Red, these bosses are smarter than us, since the went to Harvard and Priceton and Berkley. We should be happy to serve them in whatever capacity that they ask.

Based on the interactions I have had with libs from Maine, the "schools" are more like liberal indoctrination centers

For example, they teach you change is good as long as it change to liberal principals (and I use that term loosely) from all other principals
