People are starting to fret opening. Will the Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton slug fest eventually wind up costing the Democrats the 2008 election? Will they steal the defeat from the jaws of victory? Is there an answer that will satisfy everyone and not wind up as a disaster at this summers Democratic National Convention? Maybe, and maybe not!
On August 25-28, the 2008 Democratic National Convention will deliver a sizeable impact on the City and County of Denver and the seven counties that encompass the greater metro area. But just what will that impact be?
Former New York Governor Mario Cuomo said the presidential race between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama could be ruinous for the Democratic Party if the contest isn"t resolved before the August nominating convention. Cuomo, a Democrat, said the party may be able to avoid a damaging convention fight if Clinton and Obama teamed up on a party ticket, or if the media forced the candidates before then to substantively address big policy issues facing the nation, such as the economy and the war in Iraq.
Read my lips. The dream ticket is NOT going to happen! Can someone answer the red phone please.
And now some donors (in Florida) are wanting their money back as Democrats in Michigan and Florida struggled Friday to resolve the impasse over their disputed January primaries, coming up with a plan to hold a June primary in Michigan while remaining deadlocked in Florida. Is there a compromise, a solution here? The Democratic dilemma only grows.
What happens if one person wins the polular vote (Hillary) and another wins the delegate vote (Obama)? Nancy Pelosi had the answer. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says it would be damaging to the Democratic party for its leaders to buck the will of national convention delegates picked in primaries and caucuses, a declaration that gives a boost to Sen. Barack Obama. The Hillary Clinton campaign didn"t want to hear that!
Ah but here we are at the mid point of March and it"s looking more and more difficult.
