There Will Be Blood

Democrats are the party of fairness, or so they claim. They fight against the "racists" and hate-mongers who "disenfranchise" on the right.

Which party has super delegates? You know, the Democrat party insiders who are free to vote for whomever they want. They can vote for the candidate that carried their state or congressional district. Or not. They could vote for the Democrat nominee that promises the most campaign cash or patronage jobs. Or not.

Funny, the party that tells us that they put their "people" in front of the "powerful" (Al Gore's former campaign slogan), they let the politically powerful decide what is the best for the people. They don't trust the people. They never have. They trust their elitist pals.

The DNC made their rules in terms of which states vote when. Florida and Michigan broke the rules that everyone agreed to. Florida and Michigan knew the consequences. Now, that the Hillary-Obama race is tight, the delegates in these two states want a re-vote.

Hillary wants a "do-over." The governors of the two states want a do-over as well. Does Obama take up the re-vote mantle or will he choose to disenfranchise the sizable electorate of those two states? A black guy not letting the votes count?? That would be interesting. A Clinton changing the rules in the middle of the game? Well, that is a shocker. Democrats wanting to keep counting the votes in Florida until the outcome changes? Didn't we see that show already?

The Hillary-Obama race will be a battle for the ages. It will likely go to the convention. Will there be a re-vote in Florida and Michigan? Will the super delegates thwart the will of the people at the behest of the powerful?

I know one thing for sure. There will be blood. And, it will be fun!
