Comments on: The McGovern Label http://www.floppingaces.net/2008/04/23/the-mcgovern-label/ Tue, 02 Dec 2008 03:32:38 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: Machiavelli http://www.floppingaces.net/2008/04/23/the-mcgovern-label/#comment-40781 Machiavelli Thu, 24 Apr 2008 06:17:36 +0000 http://www.floppingaces.net/?p=4438#comment-40781 While the entire concept of super delegates seems really odd to me; for the DNC it could be a real saving grace election year. BHO pretty much pulled a con job on those people in the early primaries who actually bought the idea that he was some sort of "unifying" bipartisan force, didn't know about the Rezko and Jeremiah Wright connections, and the fact that he doesn't respect the citizens of Middle America. If they swing the delegate count back to Hillary they'll shore up their base, and not have to worry about the fringe; which will naturally come back into line come November. Yes, of course they might have to deal with BHO's followers rioting in Denver like in Chicago in '68; but we'll have to deal with that anyway when he loses in November. Spiffy rhetoric, and endlessly spouting "hope," "change," and calling legitimate questions "distractions" is not going to fly once the general election is on; much less (heaven forbid) in the realm of international affairs. But, as everyone freely points out, it'll at least be entertaining till the summer convention season; popcorn for everyone!

The unthinkable is happening before their very eyes. Either they nominate a McGovern type candidate (something the super delegate process was designed to avoid) or they nominate Hillary and see riots in the streets of Denver from disaffected Obamatons. Either way they are in a mess and there are several stories just like the New Republic article above that all point to that problem. It’s becoming a perfect storm for Democrats.
