A co-chairman of Hillary's Michigan campaign and has a line that's sure to drive a whole bunch of red state governors up the wall:
"Superdelegates are not second-class delegates," says Joel Ferguson, who will be a superdelegate if Michigan is seated. "The real second-class delegates are the delegates that are picked in red-state caucuses that are never going to vote Democratic."
Now this should not come as a surprise given the Clinton campaigns already announced contempt for democracy. But there is so much of it being displayed so openly these days. What I'm having a hard time deciding is whether the Clinton camp is arrogant, stupid or both. Just read some of the comments on Smith's post – I'm guessing that most people are going with "all of the above."
I'm beginning to doubt Hillary Clinton is going to be able to pull out of the dive before the campaign augers in.
I don’t know. The whole complaint about the superdelegates seems to be the same effort to change the rules of the game after the fact that drove the Florida "recount" in 2000.
Of course it is a little rich to see some Democrats suddenly become so interested in following the "letter of the law" but it should still be preferred to the Obama effort to play only by rules they themselves get to write.
The real root of the problem is the Democrats insistence to use PR rules instead of winner take all rules that mimic our actual constitutional system. I know….I know…follow the actual Constitution. Shocking!
I have long predicted that Hilly the Hun will win. But I am beginning to suspect that the Hun is trying to prove me wrong by deliberately tanking her campaign.
The lengths that the Hun won’t go to to make me look bad!! It’s a conspiracy!! Where’s Ron Paul, now that we really need him?
