delegations

Looking in on the DNC's fight over seating delegates, it is amusing to watch as Democrats beat each other over the head with classic fallacious arguments.

Another angry white woman, sweet jesus, we are everywhere. .

The Rules Committee of the Democratic National Committee meets on Saturday to decide what to do with the delegations from Michigan and Florida.

The Cliff Notes:

1. Last year the DNC passed rules that said that no state could hold its primary earlier that a certain date.

2. All of the Democratic Presidential candidates signed a pledge NOT to PARTICIPATE in any state that violated the rules.

3.

I've tried to figure out what exactly it is that makes me so dislike the Clintons...is it just that they are running against Obama? Nope. Its the absolute willful divorce from reality. Bubba on Florida:

My hope is the candidate I voted for,Obama,will have 2,209 delegates before the May 31st meeting of the DNC Rules & By-laws committee.
The AP says Obama has 1,885 delegates..324 shy of 2,209.

Ilissa Gold signs on to what she sees as a good solution to tthe problem of how to seat delegates from Florida and Michigan at the Democratic Convention after they broke DNC rules by holding primaries early:

Obama says he is going to declare victory on May 20:

It's a train wreck waiting to happen, with one candidate claiming to be the nominee while the other vigorously denies it, all predicated on an argument over what exactly constitutes the finish line of the primary race.
