Florida and Michigan Mascot

The blocking of votes for Florida and Michigan is one of the biggest travesties of the Obama campaign. Obama has shown his contempt of the voters rights when he eliminated all his opponents from the ballot in his first State Senate election. That was wrong then. It is wrong now to eliminate the voting rights of both Florida and Michigan.

When Lieberman ran for re-election in the Democratic primary in 2004, he was followed by a mascot of him kissing Bush. Called the kiss. I think Obama should be followed by mascots in the shape of Florida and Michigan. They should follow him everywhere he goes. To remind him of a conscience - which I am sure he has. To remind everyone that we are the Democratic Party in this Republic. That we are better then this. That we dont suppress votes, like the GOP in the 2000 Florida election. And that democracy is too important an issue just to let slide by for the benefit of one man.

I've thought about bird dogging his campaign, but considering the fervor of his supporters I feel very hesitant.

I never felt any hesitation about bird dogging the Clinton campaigns on HIV/AIDS issues with ACT UP, it always felt completely safe to me, and Bill Clinton even once invited our ACT UP members up on stage to talk with him. It was very productive.

I cannot imagine bird dogging at an Obama event. I saw how Sheila Jackson Lee was treated by Obama supporters when she tried to speak the other day, and honestly I would be afraid to get up there to criticize him in any way...

Talk about freedom of speech. Do we really want this guy as our nominee.

What we need are some strong guys to be the mascots and be with the mascots. I have a feeling that Larry Johnson over at NoQuarterUsa.net would be the perfect person to ask. I would love to see the Obama camp try to intimidate a Florida or Michigan mascot.

What's the difference between when all parties agreed to these rules (after both McAuliffe and Ickes voted to punish MI and FL) and now?

And I assume you all were screaming bloody murder about this way back in August and September when this decision was made. Eh.
