The rank hypocricy of the Obama cabal.
The feverish ranks of the Obama devoted are now putting forth two arguments regarding the delegates.
1. The Super delegates should not be allowed to decide the nomination. They presume that Clinton could hold on to and persuade enough Super-delegates to win the nod. They are up in arms because they believe that this would be an affront to democracy. In other words - They want to change the rules.
2. Then in an astounding example of functional denial they believe that under no circumstances should the Florida delegation be seated - effectively and punitively disenfranchising 1.7 million voters. Florida committed the grave sin of having an election is the New Hampshire high holy month of January. This meme is fueled by a delusion - of course. That is: if Obama had campaigned there he would most certainly have won. This neglects, of course, that Clinton did not campaign there either. But rational arguments are not to be bothered with in Obamaland.
Of course, if Florida had gone to Obama by a large margin instead of Clinton these hypocrites would be screeching to have the delegation seated. This goes to one of my main arguments with the Obama campaign: They insist on announcing "new" era in politics - then play the same dirty hardball games they attack. Their idea of "New Politics" is "our guy wins, no matter what."
It is now entirely possible that back room scheming by the likes of Donna Brazille will end up with Florida throwing yet another election.
