If Senator Clinton tries this the Democratic National Committee will turn on her in almost no time flat. I can just see Lefty sites like Daily Kos and Huffington Post come to the realization how sleazy the Clintons are.Remember...
“This is the most important election of our lifetime.”
- H. Clinton
Clinton is no longer nearly as popular with Democrats as Obama. Most of the Democrats are going to be really mad, if she’s nominated. She would be more easily defeated in the general election, though.
Stupid premise ... the super delegates will determine the dem nominee.
If this becomes the scene it will turn off so many Obamma voters that Mrs. Clinton will get her clock cleaned in the general.
She is disliked and distrusted by a near majority of the populace at this point. She will really appear terribly if she goes through this kind of crap to win the nomination
Course she couldn’t be lower in my esteem regardless of what she may do in the near future.
She is a liar, thief, enabler of a serial sexual pervert and imho has had many folks who offed who tried to go against her sorry butt.
Florida: saw it off and cut it away.
I actually think there is a stronger case to be made for upholding the DNC rule against the early Florida primary.The DNC, like the RNC, is a private organization like the Odd Fellows or, in this case, the Liar's Club. That is why the two parties fought, and won, in court when the State of California presumed to pass a law requiring open primaries in that state. The constitutional right of free association does not permit the state to decide what a club's rules are.
Consequently SCOTUS could, and IMHO would, overturn the SCoFLaws if they tried to change the rules of the national Democratic Party without any need to reference Bush v. Gore. Probably unanimously.
But Olsen's point about how Hillary's attempt to change the DNC's rules post hoc, after having fussed and fumed about the Electoral College back in '00, is a delicious irony.
Electing Hillary is much more important than rules.
If Hillary tries this, it will tear apart the Democrat Party for a long time to come.
At some point in the future, if Democrats can successfully pander to enough Hispanic voters and if Hispanic voters come out in large numbers, Democrats may be able to alienate black voters. But that time has not come yet.
In order for a Democrat to successfully run for state or national office, he/she needs an strong turnout and a large majority of black votes in some of the key battleground states.
If Senator Clinton tries this the Democratic National Committee will turn on her in almost no time flat. I can just see Lefty sites like Daily Kos and Huffington Post come to the realization how sleazy the Clintons are.Remind me, which party is it that is always complaining about voter disenfranchisement?
