The new math in Florida and Michigan

After a day of wrangling in Washington, the magic number for the Democratic presidential nomination is now 2,118, and Hillary Clinton nets 24 largely symbolic votes.

    The big loser here is the DNC

    I have to say that if I were a voter in Florida or Michigan, I would sue the DNC so fast it would make their heads spin. The proceedings yesterday were so biased against Mrs. Clinton that I could not believe it. And while it has been repeated numerous times already here I will say it again: were the Clinton / Obama positions reversed, these same people would have voted in favor of the elections counting 100%.

    The Democratic Party effectively gave the nomination to Obama yesterday, and at the same time gave the general election to John McCain. I am so sick of party politics and bi-partisan politics that I could cry in frustration. What the Democratic Party needs is a major shake-up and new people put in place to make decisions that are neither race nor gender driven. What happened yesterday made me sorry for the voters in Florida and Michigan and worse, made me ashamed, for the first time in the 33 years I have been a registered voter, to be associated with the Democratic Party.
