UPDATED!!! 11:04 AMI wonder how the voters in Michigan and Florida feel? From the party of "EVERY VOTE COUNTS" Well...not really!!
BURBANK, Calif. — Former President Jimmy Carter said Wednesday that delegates from Florida and Michigan should not be counted at the Democratic National Convention because they “disqualified themselves,” and he warned of a disaster if party insiders try to wrest the nomination from the candidate with the largest number of votes and state victories.
An attempt by so-called Democratic superdelegates to override the popular vote “would be an almost unacceptable thing,” Carter told Jay Leno on “The Tonight Show.”
If a candidate has a clear edge in votes, state-by-state wins and delegates claimed at caucuses and primaries, “I can’t imagine that the superdelegates would go against them,” Carter said. “It would be a catastrophe for the party.”
Carter’s comments came a day after the North Carolina and Indiana primaries, in which Barack Obama padded his delegate lead over Hillary Rodham Clinton. In the tight race the judgment of superdelegates — elected officials and party insiders who can vote as they like at the party’s August nominating convention — will almost certainly be decisive.
