Brokered Convention?
Okay, already there’s talk.
I dunno – we usually get our act together by mid summer. However, I think people missed part of the process last time and aren’t anxious to coronate anyone. I would not count on a floor fight because the Super Delegates kept just enough power to win. They gave away just enough power to make it a landslide.
I’m not anxious for a fight in Texas. When I was younger, it didn’t bother me at all. Hell, I even wrote about it.
I think I’ve grown weary of all the whining and finger pointing. Honey, we Democrats can nurse a grudge back from the dead and carry it around for fifty more years. Speaking of which, I used to have a bumper sticker that said, “I don’t care if Nixon is dead, I still want him impeached.” I guess that’s not funny now, considering that Bob Barr is trying like hell to find a way to retroactively impeach President Obama.
I think there’s a pretty good chance that the Texas caucus and state convention will be brokered, because it was in 2008. That might be fun. But a brokered national convention? Not so much.
