Question - is the Credentials Committee AT the convention

[elfin]

or before?

I cannot stand the thought of this continuing and disrupting the convention for all to see and become disgusted with Dems as a result.

1. At the convention, preceding it, in Denver.

2. The Credentials Committee will be appointed by Howard Dean. She can claim she's going there,

but they won't give her anything.

3. Exactly

Her best chance was this committee where 4 of her supporters told her you shall not pass.

4. Isnt it some by the DNC and a large part by delegate allocation?

Anyways, as far as I know it only takes 20-25% to force a floor vote. And thats game over for Hillary.

7. Credentials Committee

I believe it has either 180 or `84 members, chosen by delegate allocation but with 30 appointed solely by Howard Dean. In order to go to the convention there must be a 25% vote for the minority and a minority report issued to the convention. If she were to get less than 25% before the credentials comm she could not appeal to the convention

6. Now that is a good thing! nt

5. They are selected in July

8. Today I heard that Dean might call a meeting of the credentials

committee BEFORE the convention....sometime in June or July.

9. Good that will give us a month to politically destory Clinton and Ickes and the other assholes.

[Exultant Democracy]

10. The committee is assigned at the end of June and can meet after that where and when ever they want

Howard Dean will pick some and the Clinton and Obama will each members from each state based on delegates won. But I just heard that on NPR so I won't vouch for it to be entirely right.
