I guess it's now wrong for Barack Obama to try to get LEGAL voters to participate in the Iowa caucus process. Every legal ruling about college students has been to allow those that are attending school to vote on campus. FOR ANY DEMOCRAT TO QUESTION THIS AS SOMETHING UNTOWARD IS REPULSIVE. Democrats are the party of inclusiveness we don't look for ways to disenfranchise qualified voters. http://thepage.time.com/...
Yepsin, I kind of expect this shit,from but DODD should apoligize for this
"That may be the way politics is played in Chicago, but not in Iowa."
I know that alot of the also rans are jealous of Obama's success but questioning the rights of legal voters should be beyond the pale in a democratic primary or caucus.
As for Yepsin, it's viewpoints like the one he has here which will hopefully end Iowa's "tradition" of always going first.http://www.desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?
While it’s legal for college students to register to vote in Iowa to do that, this raises the question of whether it’s fair, or politically smart. No presidential campaign in memory has ever made such a large, open attempt to encourage students from out of state, many of whom pay out-of-state tuition, to participate in the caucuses. No other campaign appears to be doing it in this campaign cycle.
So some legal voters are "superior" to others, I call bullshit. It's ok for college student's from around the nation to vote on campus in other states or in the general election but not in the pure as snow Iowa caucuses, I hope the Obama team tells them to go fuck themselves, finding reasons to stop people from voting legally is the Republicans game.
UPDATE - Hillary campaign playing the disenfranchisement card as wellhttp://www.politico.com/news/stories/1207/7125.html
The Obama campaign contends that it’s doing nothing unusual — that Iowa college students have long caucused near their colleges. And a separate Reigster news article quoted Iowa Secretary of State Michael Mauro as saying of the Obama instructions: "I think it's playing within the rules."
A Hillary Rodham Clinton campaign official said: "We are not courting out-of-staters. The Iowa caucus ought to be for Iowans."
so now the Democratic "frontrunner" is against college students voting on campus, I wonder if that was the postion for BIll's 1992 run or the general election?
