FL Dems go for Obama
UPDATE: We're told the one absention was a mistake, as the person thought to have abstained actually did not vote. Several issues never made it to the floor in time to vote because of logistical issues.
Karen Thurman moments ago: "We are the great state of Florida, the Sunshine state, 833 miles of us from sea to shining sea. And we believe in one vote for one person (cheers), and we have cast those votes: The next president of the United States Barack Obama 136, Hillary Clinton 59, and one absention."
"Thank you Florida and we're so happy you're here."
Clinton had 105 pledged delegates, but released them.

wimps!

Worse than wimps! Sellouts! Since when does democracy dictate that outcomes are decided in backroom deals to appease the losers instead of at the ballot box where it belongs? The real loser in this fiasco are the people of Florida who voted but were not accurately represented. Another tragic story for democracy, but what would expect in the annals of Florida voting?

They cut off the rollcall and did not allow every state to cast their votes.

Hillary supporters (especially the PUMAS)will be pissed at not having a full rollcall.

Barack Obama "disenfranchised" millions of voters in Florida & Michigan.
Payback will be coming in November!

Thank you, Florida delegates, for your participation in the DNC.
More so, thank you, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, for making a tremendous sacrifice, putting the needs of the country and your party ahead of your own and moving to nominate by acclamation the next President of the United States, BARACK OBAMA!
GO OBAMA/BIDEN 08!!!

Hillary was downright heroic.

Barack Obama is a dirty racist.
He will lose in November & crawl back into his hole with Rev Jeremiah Wright, Rev Otis Moss, terrorist Bill Ayers, felon buddy Tony Rezko & the rest of Obama's crooked clan.

GOP women KNOW GOP men can be (and often ARE) sexixt pigs. They are that way up front. Our haerts go out to our Dem sisters who thought D men were different. They just pay lip service to being different, but they are sexist pigs just the same.
Sisters: it is easier to deal with the ones you see coming that with the ones who come ins tealth. Lots of stelath n Denver.

Rumors are that Barack Obama will be treated like a rock star celebrity with Roman columns and all on Thursday in Invesco Field.
Hope we get pictures that will rival Paris Hilton.

Huge amounts of Hillary protesters were kept out of the convention center by police to silenced them during the roll call.

**NEWS ALERT: EXPECTED CAT. 3 HURRICANE GUTAV HEADING FOR NEW ORLEANS.
>>
GOV BOBBY JINDAL-
LA Gov. Bobby Jindal put New Orleans residents on alert, saying evacuations could begin as early as Fri. He is planning to miss the Republican convention if necessary.
Where is New Orlean's mayor Ray Nagin today? Hob-nobbing in Denver at the DNC convention. He should be planning evacuation in New Orleans considering how incompetent he was during Katrina.

The Obama and Domestic Terrorist, Ayers, are finally coming to the fore.
He can't use the "I was 8" excuse; he served on 2 boards with the terrorist from the mid 90s til the early 00s.
Ironically, the NY Times published a story that Ayers was still unrepentant on 9.11 and thought that he should have done more destruction.
Obama is not ready to lead and has shown VERY poor judgement being associated with:
Ayers
Rezko
Rev. Wright and
America-hater, his wife, Michelle
Obama's not ready and has RADICAL associations.

Didn't Obama say that "I don't look like the presidents on the dollar bills"?

Senator Barack Obama, with the most liberal voting record in the US Senate, is delivering his political acceptance speech, in an apparent attempt to assume for himself the mantle of Dr. Martin Luther King.
Dr. King did not embrace the type of secularist agenda promoted by Obama and the Democratic Party of today, which includes fostering dependency on welfare that breaks up families, supporting same-sex marriage and partial-birth abortion, and banning God from the public square.
Obama is no MLK!
