THE WEBLOG OF KEVIN C. MURPHY: CONJURING POLITICAL, CINEMATIC, AND CULTURAL ARCANA SINCE 1999

Florida and Michigan, Resolved.

| | Comments (2) | TrackBacks (0)

With architect of the DNC rules turned Clinton apparachik Harold Ickes playing dead-ender to the hilt, the Rules & Bylaws Committee decides to seat Michigan and Florida as half-delegates. (However irate the stark raving Clintonites, even the former President has suggested recently -- in private -- that this compromise made the most sense.) For those keeping score, this makes the new delegate threshold 2118, which, if all goes well, puts Obama in striking range to end the primary season officially on Tuesday night (in Montana and South Dakota.)

Helping him pass the threshold, of course, will be the superdelegates, who have continued their trend toward Obama during my moving week. Since the last update, according to DemConWatch, Obama has picked up fifteen supers to Clinton's four, and word is the rest of the "undecideds" are just waiting for the word to break for our nominee. At long last, it's over, folks.

Those people protesting for Clinton were INSANE. Did any of that craziness seep out to the mainstream press coverage? I think it would hurt Clinton much more than help her.

This is my first full day back on the grid, so I missed much of the brouhaha. But what I saw wasn't pretty.
