KMGH: Colorado Dems Threaten to Block Clinton Delegate
Delegate Says She Received 'Intimidating' E-Mail After Expressing Doubts on Obama

From KMGH
August 13, 2008

The Colorado Democratic Party threatened to pull the credentials of a Hillary Clinton delegate who privately told friends she wasn't sure she should vote for Barack Obama, according to a report by ABC's Denver affiliate, KMGH.


Sacha Millstone of Boulder, Colorado told KMGH's John Ferrugia she received an "intimidating" e-mail summoning her to the state's Democratic party headquarters after a fellow delegate filed a complaint about her to the state party.


"You are hereby directed to come in to the Party Headquarters and explain your comments and why you should remain a national delegate to the 2008 Democratic National Convention in light of these comments," read the message from Colorado Democratic Party Political Director William Compton.

She was elected as a Clinton delegate.  Why should she vote for Barry?

ABC News had a report a few minutes ago about Barry being wonderfully magnanimous and "allowing" a roll call vote on the floor of the convention.  The unabashed nerve of this guy is unbelievable.

Funny how the sore loser Clinton was able manipulate Obama's camp enough to include her on the ballots.
She sure isnt' a one trick pony....I wonder what her real motive is.... :fuelfire:

Now that the Clinton and Obama camps have agreed to "allow" Hillary on the conventional ballot....

Game ain't over yet.

I suspect both camps will be working pretty hard on Super Delegates.

The Clinton's ain't about to just roll over.

IMO.
