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.
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

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.
