The DNC and it’s 40 year wisdom of losing!
By Plan B | June 1, 2008
Yesterday the DNC Rules and By Laws Committee did what they thought was best for the party and chose to actually follow one of their rules while inventing others and stripping votes from one candidate and giving them to another. The Democratic party’s rules and By laws committee made a ruling on the seating of the Mi/Fl delegates. They seated Florida’s delegates completely at 1/2 vote each. They also seated Michigan’s delegates at 1/2 vote each however they gave Obama all the undecided votes plus 4 delegates that they took away from Hillary and gave to Obama. The Florida Penalty is what the rules call to be done for any state that went early. So they basically went back to the original rule that they should have done before they went above and beyond and stripped Florida completely. With Michigan they made it up based on guessing of voters intentions that is why the Michigan ruling is causing such a mess.
The Clinton campaign said they reserve the right to dispute the Michigan ruling with the credentials committee which may meet in July before the DNC convention and if not there she can appeal directly at the convention in August.
The DNC has proven why they only have been able to put 2 presidents forth in the past 40 years. But who cares really. We will see in November if they win those two states that they had to discipline today. They certainly learned a lesson. However, the question is, Will the Democrats learn yet another repeated one in November? We will see…
