Corzine And Rendell To Raise 15MM For MI/FL ReVotes
By Big Tent Democrat
The excuses for Barack Obama to object to ReDo primaries in Florida and Michigan are becoming harder and harder to come by. Joining James Carville, Governors Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania and Jon Corzine of New Jersey have offered to raise $15 million for revotes in Florida and Michigan:
Two of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s biggest supporters, who are also two of the Democratic Party’s most successful fund-raisers, have offered to help raise millions of dollars to stage new primaries in Florida and Michigan. Gov. Jon S. Corzine of New Jersey and Gov. Edward G. Rendell of Pennsylvania said Sunday that they would be willing to raise half the $30 million it would take to run new contests in those two states. Mr. Corzine and Mr. Rendell submitted their proposal to The Washington Post.
So money is clearly NOT an issue here. There is no reason now not to do this. Oh by the way, there is no reason NOT to do them via primaries, full blown ones. With absentee balloting, early voting, all the works. Let's count the votes. The Will of the People and all that.
