for competition's sake.
they see the primary as a game, and not as what it is meant to be -- an election. an election where people's votes represent people's voice, needs, hopes and aspirations. why else do we have an election if not to have people's votes count? this isn't a vote collection game. the votes aren't just points, the votes mean something deeper. the franchise is what makes our country great. it is what our democracy is about. when they say FL and MI shouldn't count because republican party leaders committed a mistake with the rules, they are disenfranchising people's voice. when they say that we should end the race now because the 'math' is difficult is denying the rest of the millions of voters a say. their distortion that the math is impossible is subordinating the people's will to their decisions for the nominee. the fact is, neither candidate has the delegates to win the nomination now and until all the delegates are accounted for, no one should claim victory.
obama's campaign and his supporter's operations are greek tragedies waiting to happen. they are completely out of touch when they look all smug and showing off their intellectual superiority about the math of the delegate count. the hubris of it all! the way the party elites thumbing their noses at the other half of the democratic party, (the core base of democrats no less), is tragic.
obama supporters are myopic about winning. they see the world as they want it, and not as it is, nor how other people may see it. this is why even if they win the battle, they will lose the war.

i see that you were studying hard last night :)
i love this part:
"obama supporters are myopic about winning. they see the world as they want it, and not as it is, nor how other people may see it. this is why even if they win the battle, they will lose the war."
you should write for a soap opera or some cheesy show like.. transformers. i could see optimus prime saying something like that. "even if the deceptacons win the battle, they will lose the war." ... "truth will set you free." ... "this is a long fight. don't forget that young one."
obama speaking to florida, if omar wrote it:
"i don't like that florida wasn't represented. no one here does." [people in audience shake head, agree with obama] "is florida important? you're damn right it is, just like every other state in this great union. and what's even more important than a state? the people that compose that state. the individual floridians on the ground, doing the hard work, pushing through every day in these tough times." [audience nods, some people clap.] "i will be in florida soon. the democrats are going to win in florida. i hear your voices, and i will be there throughout the campaign to make sure your voices are heard. and we will sweep through washington together."
woot
