Dean is going to have to do something about MI and FL.
Pennsylvania is a closed state with demographics like Ohio in many respects. Obama won't win that one.
Today we see the difference about primaries and caucuses where you had the same state on the same day and the same voters do both. She wins by 4% in the primary and he will win the caucus....
After today she also takes back the lead in overall popular vote.
He has an argument on the delegates right now, but she also has the argument about the crucial swing states needed in the GE.
And before he was arguing super delegates should vote with their constituencies but now they want it to go to the pledged delegate lead.
This is FAR from over and it will be interesting to see what Dean ends up doing with MI and FL.
And with the Rezko trial started you are going to hear his name mentioned a lot with that story with the possibility of more dirt being uncovered on the topic daily. This could be a long 7 weeks until Pennsylvania for him.
He also has the issue of painting himself into a corner with his change and no more politics as usual campaign theme. It really limits him from punching back hard without putting that image on the line with the public, but if he doesn't do it, he will look weak. Not a great spot to be in and a tough decision coming up within their campaign.
At any rate its been an interesting night and watching Chris Matthew, Keith Olbermann and Jack Cafferty seething today as they saw the internal exit polls and knew what was to come tonight was worth it. If looks could kill, they were sick to their stomaches and bubbling with rage all day. |
None of the stuff you mentioned about the style of the campaign matters....Rezko, same old politics....whatever....they don't matter, we're counting votes here.
I agree something should be done about Michigan and Florida....the only thing that's fair to do is to have a re-vote. Counting the previous results when nobody campaigned there.....and in one state hers was the only name on the ballot is lunacy.
It doesn't matter who wins what states, and what states are big and what states aren't. This is the friggin DEMOCRATIC party for crying out loud.....the person with the most votes and the most delegates after ALL 50 STATES have voted should be the winner.
Period, the end, case closed.
It doesn't matter who you think will be the better candidate for a certain issue, or against the other side, or who can win what state against what candidate.....if more people vote for candidate A than vote for candidate B....candidate A should win.
Anything else is just slimy political bullshit that will tear the party apart.
