Nonsense:
UPDATE:
“We are all committed to doing everything we can to ensure that a Florida
delegation is seated in Denver. We all agree that whatever the solution, it
must have the support of both campaigns. While there may be differences of
opinion in how we get there, we are all committed to ensuring that Florida’s
delegation is seated in Denver. We’re committed to working with both campaigns
to reach a solution as soon as realistically possible. We are also laying
the groundwork to ensure we win in Florida in November and spent time here
today talking about how to do just that. We will continue to work towards
a solution to ensure delegates are seated and logistics are in place for a
Florida delegation in Denver.”
Why is this nonsense?
Listen to the Obama
camp’s bottom line:
Former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, a supporter of Sen. Barack Obama,
rejected that proposal, which seemed to gain traction as prospects for a new
contest grew more remote.He told CNN’s Gloria Borger that the Illinois senator would like to
“give Florida the opportunity to vote” – but not
in a way that would change the overall outcome.
Same line Obama supporter Chaka Fattah said on “Hardball” the other
day. Count the votes, but only if they don’t really count.
Not counting Florida and Michigan into the nominating process makes the nominee illegitimate. Can’t say it any plainer than that.
