Why isn't Warren Buffett paying the damn costs of the primary, he's a democrat and supports both

[Herman Munster]

Funding shouldn't be an issue. If not Buffett than another rich dude. There are lots of rich people who wouldn't miss the $20 million to have both Michigan and Florida have a fair primary where no one is disenfranchised.

1. because it's not his responsibility.

It's the states' responsibility, and Buffett lives in Omaha, NE.

3. It doesn't mean he couldn't make a donation.

[Hawkeye-X]

7. Certainly he could, but he's not about to fork out the dough just because the states

screwed up, and it's their fault, not DNC, not Buffett, and certainly not mine. The states screwed up, and they have to pay for it themselves.

2. I've been asking whether contributions to state parties are limited, but I don't know

[Hawkeye-X]

6. I think there is a set limit, up to 25,000

but have to check with FEC rules.

4. The states fucked up. Let them pay for it.

[Vincardog]

5. Let the Republican politicians and their DINO counterparts who created the situation pay to fix it.

8. What is this Bill Nelson/Karen Thurman apoligists convention. They fucked the FL dems 'nuf said.

9. Bill could speak at InfoUSA and get $20 mil in a snap.

10. Democrats should write the DNC and demand that if we have to do re-voting.....

We get to vote in the primary ahead of NH and Iowa from now on until eternity. No more Iowa and NH ahead of us. I'd re-vote if they change the DNC changes the regulations on that.

11. That's how he got rich - not funding primaries!

[DearAbby]

12. Why would anyone expect one man to pay for this?

Totally confused here

[Lint Head]

13. Because the buffet is cheaper than ordering from the menu.

14. I wish he would buy me a fucking house too. Nothing too big. Something in Boulder, Co. would do.
