SusanUnPC (and her daughter) weigh-in on the downside of unity. The post perfectly encapsulates my views on this “unity” horseshit — and my impending affiliation with the Green Party.
Now on to the Denver travesty.
Talk Left: “Hillary’s Popular Vote Lead”
Democratic Daily: “Thou Shalt Not Steal”
Bare Naked Politics: “‘Unity’ Shuck and Jive: Obama Campaign Opposed Counting 100% of Florida’s Votes — But Tried to Avoid Saying So”
Anglachel: “Decisions, Decisions”
Taking away delegates from Hillary and handing them to Obama, however, is not within their purview, and this will come back to bite them in the ass…
From “Reading the entrails,” at Avedon’s (BTW, I can’t get the permalink to work, so just visit the site and look for the post):
Kagro X at Daily Kos departs from the all-rules-favor-Obama fantasy and tells the truth: “I’m wearing armor right now. And Harold Ickes was right.” The DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee can rule within the rules, but it can’t go outside the rules to create a desired outcome. And there’s nothing in the rules that permits them to award uncommitted delegates to a particular candidate - but that’s what they did. Turkana: “I want you to show me the rule that says a candidate who was not voted pledged delegates from a state can simply be awarded pledged delegates by the DNC. Because the rules were changed, today, in the middle of the game, but not by Hillary Clinton or her supporters.
I don’t know why this is so surprising to Kagro X and Turkana; the DNC hasn’t followed its own rules from the get-go.
Riverdaughter brings word that the entire public process was a sham, as Martha Clark of the DNC’s RBC admitted that most of the dirty details were hashed-out in private.
The Democratic Party is a joke, one that I no longer find even mildly amusing.

Meteor Blades typifies the idiocy and arrogance of Obamacult, while Ezra Klein continues to demonstrate why he can no longer be taken seriously.
Taylor Marsh has the penultimate word on this entire debacle.
Ah, bugger, I was forgetting to upload a new month. Again.
The right link should work, now.
Groovy! Updating link. Thank you, ma’am!
