Settling In

For watching a long day of the DNC fighting amongst themselves on what to do with the disenfranchised states of Florida and Michigan. Yeah to most people it will be boring stuff but if you understand what is going on this is high drama!

You would have to be living in a cave not to know what has been going on between Clinton and Obama for the Dem nomination. Well Clinton would win it IF Florida and Michigan are seated in full which of course she is pushing for. Obama will win if anything less than that happens.

What is being debated is the question, How many votes will NOT count because they jumped the gun and held their primary earlier than the DNC said they could. Essentially they (Florida and Michigan) broke the rules and the DNC said they wouldn't count ANY of their delegates and not seat them at the convention. Well the problem is that no one knew that the race would be this close and would have been long over with by now.

What has happened is a DNC system meltdown on par with the China Syndrome! Clinton and Obama HATE each other. Neither one will give up. Clinton has "more experience" while Obama is collecting more support. Clinton has more popular votes (especially if Florida and Michigan are counted) and Obama now has more super delegates.

The super delegate was created as a check to the popular vote. Essentially it means that these super delegates can over rule the will of the voting public and nominate who THEY want as they are not bound by the popular vote. If the super delegates over rule the people they would essentially disenfranchise the entire democratic voting public!

So today it all boils down to this meeting held today in Washington D.C. What will the dems do? Who will gain the DNC support? More importantly HOW MANY votes (of common hard working people) will they throw out to come to the conclusion they want?

High Drama!
