If you watched the rules committee meeting yesterday dealing with delegates from Michigan and Florida I think you got an entertaining show and possibly a look at the fracturing of a party. The only way I foresee the Democrats unifying is if either candidate drops out and urges their supporters to support the other one. But neither candidate seems willing to do that right now.
The Democratic parties in the Michigan and Florida also need to be commended for bringing this about. They are like petulant children who purposefully knocked over their milk thinking that it would be okay, someone else would clean it up. When they realized no one else was going to grab a rag to wipe up the milk, they began crying over the fact they had no milk any more. They tried to get an adult to clean up the milk, but the adult could only get half the milk back into the cup. But they are still crying because they didn’t get all their milk back.
A novel concept I had not heard yet was the Republicans made us do it. That was the cry from Florida. Blame it on the Republican legislature. But I had never once heard that as a reason the primaries were held early in the state. It seems they are grasping at straws to find someone to blame, other then themselves.
I am already adding a comment. I watched two morning political shows and two different representaives of Clinton, Howard Wolfson on Fox News Sunday and Harold Ickes on Meet the Press, both had the same exact response to the question, If Barack Obama has reaches the required number of delegates will Clinton drop out of the race? Their response was we are working to make Clinton the nominee and “I do not accept the premise of your question.” That is almost verbatim what was said.
I beleive this shows that no matter what happens Clinton and her supporters plan to blow up the party if she is not the nominee.
