Clinton sore losers threaten Convention battle
83 comments
The Denver Group: Keeping the Democratic Party democratic, created by Georgetown Law professor Heidi Li Feldman and freelance advertising man Marc Rubin, ran an ad in Friday's Chicago Tribune declaring:
"Senator Clinton's name must be put in nomination. Her supporters must be allowed to make speeches on her behalf of her candidacy. There must be an honest roll call vote, not a symbolic one, so superdelegates can cast their votes honestly, for either candidate, as their judgment, conscience and democratic principles dictate."
Feldman told the Huffington Post that the goal of the Denver Group "is to insure substantive and legitimate selection of the nominee." DNC chairman and other party leaders "should be taking responsibility for making sure it's a legitimate procedure. They cannot demand that people simply unify around either one of them."
Feldman argued that it is entirely conceivable that an open vote could produce a Clinton victory. "Then, the decision comes down to the superdelegates. I have no Idea what they are going to do six weeks from now."(Link)
So, lets see; Barack Obama is leading in all the polls, is demonstrating competiveness in traditional red states, and is buidling an unrivaled campaign structure throughout the whole country. And these folks think the convention is going to decide Barack Obama should not be the nominee, and the party should instead nominate Senator Clinton. She has no campaign organization, will have been out of the contest for four months, and would be forced to wage a traditional Democratic campaign concentrating on traditional blue states.
These folks are delusional. Sore losers are usually more discreet.
