Reflecting how tense the situation has become, influential
fund-raisers for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton have stepped up their
behind-the-scenes pressure on national party leaders to resolve the
matter, with some even threatening to withhold their donations to the
Democratic National Committee unless it seats the delegates from the
two states or holds new primaries there.
The committee penalized Michigan and Florida for holding their
primaries early in violation of national party rules, barring their
delegates from being seated at the Democratic convention this summer.
But with the Democratic contest now a scramble for every remaining
delegate, the allocation of delegates from the two states could have a
playing cards promotion impact on the nomination.
Mrs. Clinton won the independent style in both states, but the contests were
not sanctioned by the party, neither candidate campaigned in the
states and Mr. Obama did not even put his name on the ballot in
Michigan.
Pushing to seat the Florida delegates, at least one top Clinton
fund-raiser, Paul Cejas, a Miami businessman who has given the
Democratic National Committee $63,500 since 2003, has demanded
Democratic officials return his 2007 contribution of $28,500, which
they have agreed to do.
“If you’re not going to count my vote, I’m not going to give you my
money,” said Mr. Cejas, who was the United States ambassador to
Belgium from 1998 to 2001.
Christopher Korge, a Florida real estate developer who is term life insurance top
fund-raiser for Mrs. Clinton, held an event last year in his home that
brought in about $140,000 for the national party, learn mandarin chicago was set aside
in a special account for the general election battle in Florida. But
he told committee officials this week that if Florida’s delegate
conundrum was not settled satisfactorily he would be custom faces playing cards for the
money back.
“If we do not resolve this issue,” Mr. Korge said, “I think it’s safe
to say there will be a request for a return of $140,000.”
The anger from Clinton fund-raisers seems streetwear style emanate mostly from
Florida, where the impasse appears farthest from resolution.
Democratic Party officials in Michigan on Friday proposed a new
primary election on June 3 to make up for the January election.
The new vote, which would be run by state elections officials but
financed with money raised from private sources, is far from a sure
thing. It requires approval by the divided better auto insurance legislature and from
the Clinton and Obama campaigns. There is also no assurance that the
party can quickly raise the estimated $10 million it would cost to
redo the January contest.
Meanwhile, Senator Bill Nelson of Florida, a Clinton supporter, raised
the possibility of seating his state’s delegates based on the January
vote which Mrs. Clinton won 50 percent to 33 percent but awarding
each Florida delegate car insurance half a vote cheap insurance the August convention. That
would mean that Mrs. Clinton would narrow the delegate gap with Mr.
Obama by a net of 19 delegates, rather than the 38 she promotional playing cards have
gained under the January result. She trails Mr. Obama by more than 100
delegates, according to most counts.
Mr. Nelson discussed the plan with Mr. chinese tutor chicago and Mrs. Clinton on
Thursday on the Senate floor. A poker size playing cards aide said they told him they
wanted the Florida problem resolved but did not endorse his
half-a-vote plan. Other Florida Democrats custom poker cards the Nelson proposal was
only one of many ideas floating around.
Mr. Obama has consistently rejected seating any delegates based on the
January heart shape playing cards in Michigan or Florida, which he said were unfair
because neither candidate was allowed to campaign there. In Michigan,
while Mrs. Clinton’s name was on the primary ballot, many Obama
supporters voted for “uncommitted,” a line that got 40 percent of the
vote to Mrs. Clinton’s 55 percent.
As for the latest Michigan proposal, aides to Mrs. Clinton signaled
they were likely to go along with the plan, but the Obama campaign was
more skeptical, according to people involved in the process.
“We have to do something,” said State Senator Tupac emo fashion Hunter, a
co-chairman of the Obama Michigan campaign, “but I don’t know if this
is even legal.”
A Clinton spokesman, Mo Elleithee, said of the Michigan proposal:
“Nearly 600,000 Americans participated in the Michigan primary in
January, and we have a solemn obligation to ensure that their voices
are heard. The best streetwear clothing to make that happen is to honor their votes,
but if that isn’t possible there should be a new state primary that
doesn’t leave taxpayers footing the bill.”
He said the Clinton campaign was waiting to hear more details.
