California Clinton Delegates Hold On Strong !

12:39 H | Topics: California - Denver - DNC - DNC08 - Politics - US Presidential Race 2008

The California Clinton Delegates held a meeting after their California breakfast yesterday. Gloria Allred (Clinton Delegate and women’s rights attorney) led the pact by first saying she wanted to addresses the full delegation but was denied. She implied that the Obama campaign didn’t want that to happen. Then she requested a speech today at their delegation breakfast, but again denied. So she held a unofficial meeting with Clinton delegates. She explained “today is the 88th anniversary when women won the right to vote.” With an emphasis on won because she said “it wasn’t given to us women fought hard and long.” She went on to explain with her legal advice that the Delegates are legally bonded to vote for Hillary but most importantly they were elected to do us and they promised the voters who elected them that they would. She said

“it’s my opinion from the DNC rule that we must honor the results of each primary.”

On the outskirts of the meeting Obama delegates look over with disgusted expressions. I find that funny though, because if Obama lost with long primary season then they would want his votes counted too!
