What was it I was saying earlier about her phony “lift every voice” enfranchisement rhetoric? Oh well. Nothing says unity and catharsis like a vote that has to be suspended halfway through lest the margin of victory not turn out the way The One has foreordained. Chicago politics fever — catch it!
" Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama are working on a deal to give her some votes in the roll call for the Democratic presidential nomination, but quickly end the divided balloting in unanimous consent for Obama. Democratic officials involved in the negotiations said Monday the idea is that at the start of the state-by-state vote for the presidential nomination Wednesday night, delegates would cast their votes for Clinton or Obama. But the voting would be cut off after a couple of states, the officials said, perhaps ending with New York, when Clinton herself would call for unanimous backing for Obama from the convention floor. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity while the deal was being finalized."

This is Hillary’s dream come true, isn’t it? She gets to play the good soldier, ostensibly, even while her fanatic supporters strike fear in the hearts of Team Barry. But then, how good a soldier are you if you’re oh so casually reminding reporters that you got the same number of votes as the nominee did and politely declining to interfere with your delegates’ very “personal decision” by asking them to vote for the other guy? Be sure to follow that last link, too, and note the enthusiasm of the New York delegation when asked whether they’re ready to elect a president. Exit quotation: “I’m thoroughly disgusted with the Democratic Party… I believe the real magic of Barack Obama was his ability to turn lifelong Democrats like us into McCain supporters overnight.”

As it should be!!!!
Observing the Democratic Party is like watching a wild animal eat her young.
Easy to do because McCain is a lefty too.
Obama may think it's the light at the end of the tunnel...it may be the Hillary Express on full throttle coming head on to detail His coronation!
As I mentioned in another thread, cutting the voting off at New York is a little more than a “few states.” NY is #32, and this would allow Florida and Michigan to pledge their delegates...how is that going to work...did they ever work out who get’s what in FL and MI?
Everything about the Democratic Party is phony, slimy, and centered around manipulating their very sought after uneducated voter base.
Dems are experts at disenfranchising the voters via manipulations. PUMA....jackasses to be exact....
LOL Right you are.
Hillary and Barry both got their formation with Saul Alinsky organizations and theory, and are not that different in many ways. However, where they differ is in the identity of their identity politics. Barry tapped into the black power/Islamic/Europeanist coalition, while she focused on the feminist coterie. The difference is that the press, which was getting bored with the same old same old feminist stuff - and bored with Hillary who is, let’s face it, not very exciting - perked up and ran with the black power/Islamic/Europeanist stuff. The press and to some extent the public had already moved on, and Hillary didn’t realize it.
Also, Barry’s training in the Alinsky way is much more recent, and he has his guru, Bill Ayers, constantly at his side to refresh his memory. So he was much more adept at capitalizing on his opportunity, and the press and the public happily responded by deifying him.
No wonder Hillary’s mad.
I guess not when it's embarrassing or divisive.
Of course the interesting question is what pound of flesh does Hillary get for going along with this?
Over at DU they’re all going absolutely nuts, saying that the RNC is behind the “illusion” that there’s disunity within the DNC, and they’re also blaming all the MSM for working for the Republicans in causing this “myth”.
Psst... Let’s not count every vote this time around...
You know the socialist/democrat party, there are nor rules, just like there really is no Constitution. They are whatever they say they are.
Delegate count:
Popular Vote (w/MI)** Clinton +286,687 +0.8%

This guy is combination of Al Capone, Stalin and Bin Laden.
Want this in the Oval Office???
I thought I read that Hillary nixed this idea, and will allow the vote to go through to the end. I think she is hoping there will be some people changing their minds. We’ll get a sense of where she is heading when we hear her speech.
Suspend voting when it’s not going the way you want? Sounds exactly like the democrat party I know.
This is all George Bush’s fault ....../sarc
