Kentucky Delegates Bring Rules Challenge Against State DNC

Two dozen pledged delegates are bringing a rules challenge against the Kentucky state Democratic party.

The challenge alleges that the party asked one delegate to step down because of his sexual preference, and that a delegate pledged to Clinton was replaced by an ardent Obama supporter.

There are rumblings of these same challenges being brought in several other states, including Oklahoma.

Russia/Geogia Agree To 6-Point Plan & Medvedev Calls The Georgians Morons

Previously, I talked about the causes behind the Russian/Georgian conflict HERE.

Now, the Russians and Georgians have agreed to a 6 point ceasefire plan….

From CNN

Six-point truce

Russia and Georgia agreed to six points in their truce deal completed Saturday:
• Do not revert to force again.
• Definitively stop all hostilities.
• Give free access to humanitarian aid.
• Georgian forces withdraw from areas of occupation.
• Russian forces withdraw to positions at start of hostilities.
• Open international discussions on South Ossetia and Abkhazia.

Notice something absent from that list?  Like a timeline…

Regardless, both sides seem like they are in no hurry to leave the breakaway provinces, and both sides are quick with the accusations…  and serious ones at that, such as ethnic cleansing.

And in a masterful stroke of diplomacy, Medvedev comes out with this statement of kindness and understanding….

From CNN

President Dmitry Medvedev said: “The world has seen that even today, there are political morons who are ready to kill innocent and defenseless people in order to satisfy their self-serving interests, while compensating for their own inability to resolve complicated issues by using the most terrible solution — by exterminating an entire people.

“I think that there should be no mercy for that. We will do our best not to let this crime go unpunished.”

Don’t you just love it when heads of state call eachother “moron”?

US News & World Report Finally Gets It – Why Should Clinton Supporters Be Happy?

Over the past few days we have heard a chorus of reporters, pundits, and Obama campaign spokespeople essentially say “Fine, her names in nomination!  Are you happy now?  Will you shut up now?”

The miss the point…  big time.

Bonnie Erbe in USWR gets at least part of it….  while she is still focused on the ends and misses out on the problems that PUMAs have with the process, at least she isn’t dismissive about the concerns we have of Obama as a candidate….

No one can report on how all 18 million Clinton voters reacted to the decision [to put Clinton's name in nomination.] Clearly, overall they must have been at least somewhat pleased with the decision. But to ask, “Are you happy now?” carries with it an implication that Clinton supporters are a complaining bunch who won’t be happy no matter what the DNC or the Obama campaign does to try to please them. I am in close touch with the PUMA folks and other Democratic anti-Obama bloggers as I will be covering their activities in Denver next week. To ask the question, “Are you happy now?” is to dismiss the seriousness of their concerns.

From where many of them sit, the Democratic Party blew a perfectly good opportunity to nominate a moderate (instead of liberal), seasoned (instead of inexperienced) party leader (instead of Senate newcomer) with a long track record in international relations. Clinton’s “3 a.m. call” commercial is still resounding in blogs and media reports because when Russia invaded Georgia, Obama at first issued an appeasement statement, then the next day did a 180-degree turn, pressuring Russia to withdraw quickly. Such flip-flops on war policy are unacceptable but typical of what the party should have expected from a newbie. They also help explain why Obama is now tied with McCain in daily presidential tracking polls, rather than winning by double digits.

As far as the ends go and the PUMA unhappiness with Obama as a candidate goes, she hits the nail on the head…  dead on.  She also gives the respect that is due to the concerns of millions of voters, rather than minimizing them like the party has done.

This minimization from the party is some thing I don’t understand.  Simply from looking at the polls we know that millions and millions of Democrats are very unhappy with Obama.  I don’t get why they would insult us, call us Republicans, lunatics, racists, fringe radicals and more…

Regardless, the concerns are beginning to bubble up to the surface…
