Can DNC act democratically?

by: twandx

Despite the Olympics and the fantastic show put on by China, the hazy, lazy daze of vacation takes precedence for most of the principal players in the Denver soap opera.  Hillary Clinton is the exception as she just keeps on trucking; keeping the heat on McCain and stumping for Obama.

The mean stream media and blogger boyz are fractious.  They have not been able to really find out what is going on in Dem World but it hasn't stopped them from guessing.  Even the juicy sexcapades of John Edwards has failed to titillate their appetites.

Just to keep their claws sharp and in their never ending search for scabs to pick, most of the pundocracy have given us the same tired old crap about the past, present and future sins of the Clintons.  

It makes them crazy that despite years of chewing on this family, it continues to be greatly loved and admired by most of the people, not only in this country but abroad.  
 

twandx :: Can DNC act democratically?
Pundits and reporters are restive for the leg-tingling oratory of their Precious one who is away on a week's vacation.  They are eager for him turn around the trend building against him.  
The polls continue to show a decline in support for the Obama brand.  Articles, such as the one excerpted below [between asterisks], that are critical of him are beginning to appear more often now.

***Although Henry V contains more famous lines, and as with most of Shakespeare's lines, these are often quoted out of context, sometimes when the speaker is not even aware she or he is alluding to Shakespeare, the line with which I began this post...

"I did never know so full a voice issue from so empty a heart: but the saying is true 'The empty vessel makes the greatest sound'"

...fits well with the context of Senator Obama's remark about himself being an imperfect vessel.***http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/08/hillarys_growing_shadow.html

The media can no longer present The Denver Group as a lunatic fringe as more and more delegates demand fairness at the Convention.  Unless Hillary Clinton's name is placed in nomination [not just on a symbolic roll call], Democracy will be declared dead on arrival at the Democratic Convention.

What flummoxes the msm the most is not knowing who will be the Dem's pick for Veep.  It is possible that the choice has already been made.  But it might be delayed until the whole Convention decides who their Standard Bearer will be and demands that whichever one wins, the other must be her/his running mate.

What a kick in the head for the msm which insists that it, not the voters decide who the Dem candidate for president and veep will be.  What a great thing it would be for Democracy if the DNC decides to act Democratically and allow all the delegates to cast their vote.

Neither Hillary nor Barack have enough votes to win so the Superdelegates will determine the winner - not the media - IF Democracy prevails and the DNC's own rules are followed.

so well said, and succinct.  They tried to scare her off when she was still first lady and hadn't thought that far ahead. They gave her lousy press when she was running for Senator, we got all the details about their finances, their homes, what they supposedly took from the White House, and she won in a landslide.

How? She's not who they tell us she is, and once we get to know her, we like her.  She's got good old fashioned ethics, care for those weakest among us and level the playing field, and she has plans and solutions to bring us closer to an equitable society.  She's also good for the economy, she's not stupid, she knows that the manufactures need a middle class to buy their crap, and that some of the people need to earn wages, and that a lot of people would get rich too, if they could get loans to start small businesses in disadvantaged neighborhoods that are retail and service poor.

So, they've been trying to scare us off too, Barack also, he's tried to scare us about her, and all her negatives and how she'll sell us out (never mind that she never has).

I will accept Barack as our nominee if he wins, and I'll accept the DNC if they insist that the two that split the win, the one with the popular vote and the one that won more delegates need to do a co-presidency, they need to share.  I'd say that after four years, they reverse and run the other way?

your question- Can the DNC act Democratically?

I am beginning to fear that will not happen. I have no clear answer as to why the DNC has decided to become a re-incarnation of Stalin and company, but as with all of my fellow PUMAs, I could offer theories. Such speculation does no good though, we have what we have and we must continue to fight.

Perhaps my as yet unborn great grandchildren will be reading history books that explain it all, I doubt we will ever know. I want them to know when they read their history that at least one group stood up to evil as best we could.

say it proud, PMM. We are doing our best to stand against the undemocratic actions of the Democratic Party.

Oh, let's do speculate!  I'll go out there.  I'm feeling that powerful Dems behind the scenes - and we know who some of them are; Kennedy, Kerry, Daschle, Pelosi, etc. - have put Obama up as their front man for their agenda.  Like Bush was put up as acting President in title only - with other agendas behind the scenes.  

We all know when Hillary walks into the Oval Office, she will have her own agenda and plans, and doesn't need to be told what to do on Day #1.

I have also wondered about the fact that Obama said many months ago that he would not "demonize" the current Bush administration.  Lately there has been discussion as to whether anyone will hold this administration accoutable.  Do you think some of our Dems are worried about investigations because their hands are not clean and, therefore, want Obama in office?
