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.

Hillary’s Name In Nomination Sham.

From Politically Drunk On Power!

Media outlets around the nation heralded the news yesterday that Hillary Clinton’s name would finally be placed in nomination and that a roll call would take place at the upcoming Democratic National Convention. The story was considered important because of the 2 months of lobbying by Clinton’s supporters to secure her place on the DNC ballot. Although media outlets were quick to report the news, most were just as quick to overlook the downside to the so-called victory for Clinton. After all, you can’t have a “deal” without concessions by both sides.

In reality, yesterday’s decision is nothing more than another propagandist message put forth by the Obama campaign and the DNC to attempt to re-attract Clinton supporters back to the Democratic party. Clinton’s name being “placed in nomination” is essentially pointless considering that the agreement also called for Clinton to release her delegates; a move that will all but assure the nomination of Obama. Why Is This Important?

Obama Says “Give MI and FL Delegates A Full Vote”

As most of us know, the Rules and Bylaws Committee gave back all of the delegates from FL and MI that were originally stripped from them, BUT gave each only a half a vote.  This was most likely due to heavy campaigning on the part of the Obama campaign.

And now, Obama is calling for the delegates of both states to have their full votes restored. (CLICK HERE)  This would put Hillary at about 100 delegates behind Obama.

While I do appreciate the gesture, some of it is a trick to muddy the waters a bit, a smoke screen if you will.  Don’t forget that he still has 4 of her delegates and he has also been awarded the “uncommited” vote in MI.

This gesture, while nice, does not address the issues that PUMAs are upset about.  It does not change the fact that the RBC changed the delegate appropriation and, therefore, people’s votes.

What it does show is that Obama is worried.  His poll numbers are slumping.  The Democratic party is shrinking and the PUMA movement is growing.  (CLICK HERE).

I will give him this…  he has learned that he needs to start puckering up and kiss some Clinton ass.

What I am not sure of is why he is doing this…  by putting her at around 100 delegates behind, and with 15 already committed to switching if given the opportunity…  the PUMAs would only need 85 delegates to change votes.

If the credentials committee were persuaded to rectify the MI fiasco created by the RBC…  that would put her within just a handfull of delegates?

Is he really desperate?  Does he have the super delegates in the bag and already know it?  Is he kissing ass to see if his polling among Dems gets better?  Is he making this concession to appease the PUMAs in order to avoid naming her the VP?

I am not sure.
