Wasserman-Schultz: NO Mail-In Vote for You!


The latest log thrown on the fire of the Florida re-vote is the suggestion of a mail-in primary.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) isn't too stoked over the idea, indicating that the stakes are too high and this is no time to experiment. (How quick can you say butterfly ballot?)

"We had 1.75 million Democratic voters cast ballots on Jan. 29," she said on "Fox News Sunday." "It was a record turnout. And the likelihood of getting that many people to mail a ballot back in is very small."

But of course DWS would say that. She's a Hillary Campaign Co-Chair.

Hillary is a bit skittish regarding electoral contests other than the traditional as the results of such contests often find her assigned second-tier status at the end of the count. Just last week, Clinton gave the Florida caucus solution two thumbs down. "A lot of people would be disenfranchised because of the timing and whatever the particular rules were."

I'm certain she--and Wasserman-Schultz--are concerned that voters either won't be able to afford a stamp, won't be able to lick the stamp and press on said ballot or will be unable to vote due to work hours which would inhibit access to a post office.

Here's an idea.

Dump the whole re-vote. Dump the 2,025 delegates needed thang.

Whoever has the most delegates at the end of this battle wins the nomination.

A two-year-old could figure this out.

As of Sunday night, the Associated Press' count had Obama with 1,578 delegates and Clinton with 1,468.

Hey--the desperate talk to anyone.

Wasserman will not push for impeachment.
She could. She is not my friend.

She would be if she would push for impeachment. She could get on TV all the time too, like she thrives on.

It's ALL BULLSHIT.

I'm certain DWS was expecting to be standing in tall cotton once Hill took office.

Isn't it funny how quickly the true colors show when the expectations become threatened?

Sunny, for so long I've just been a quiet, peaceful person. A fact which my recent outspoken blogging lays waste to.
I do NOT enjoy watching true colors slither to the surface. It's sad, to me.
I am as against DWS endorsing hill while not supporting impeachment as i am against moveon for endorsing bara and not supporting impeachment.
I have ripped DWS far and wide across the blogoscope.
she's cute but no cigar.

oh, interestingly since I avoid all punditry (i would sleep through ALL OFIT LOL) ... on the usa today while I paid for gas I noticed that BOTH camps are against mail in voting. Interesting how they've got me saying 'camps'.
I think that mail in voting is purposely TOO expensive. I mean ... why all the extra paper and secret envelope and all that other crud? It's over the top. Let everyone use their own wax seal.
Anyway, it was interesting. I DID NOT read the article .. just read what was above the fold.

I love the wax seal idea! That might make a mail-in vote all the worth while...I'd wax my vote closed with a green SF....to show my true colors!
