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.
