That is the tactic. Keeping people angry at the party which set rules. Keeping people stirred up and ready to scream.
That is her tactic about Florida. I see it is also started in Michigan. Assume the worst, don't give up those 40% "uncommitteds". They are going to try to strip them for Hillary. Fight back.
I am getting bad vibes now. There is one thing we know for sure...that if someone is playing by their own rules with no concern for others...it is easier for them to win.
Especially if the media is working with them, spreading the rules of the campaign as the true rules. It's a win win situation for the one who does not recognize rules.
There is no excuse for her campaign starting rallies across the state of Florida. It is pathetic they are busing people to DC to rally in front of the DNC.
Florida's back in thick of Demo messRallies are planned Saturday in seven Florida cities, including Miami and Fort Lauderdale, to demand that the national party count Florida's delegates. Hundreds of activists are also expected to ride buses to Washington to rally Wednesday.
''This has to do with our civil rights,'' said Millie Herrera, a potential Clinton convention delegate and the president of the Hispanic Democratic Caucus of Florida. ``No one has the right to invalidate our votes.''
Civil rights? Equal rights? Where did I hear that before? Oh, I remember. I am getting the feeling that all these lawsuits and these rallies are coordinated. Feel free to convince me I am wrong.
Suing DNC for discriminating against white people in FloridaWhat an interesting turn of the worm. Sometime next week, we may have democrats suing democrats for carrying out a very democratic policy of advancing minorities. Steinberg and DiMaio acknowledge with a grin that their reverse racism accusation will ruffle feathers, but hope the conservative judiciary will be delighted to strike a blow against affirmative action and rule in their favor. Their only objective, they claim, is to see all of Florida's delegates seated based on the January 31st primary election.
Meanwhile she sends Bill Nelson out to threaten
blood on the convention floor.Senator Bill Nelson is a Florida super delegate who supports Sen. Hillary Clinton for president. He was asked what a narrow win for her would mean in Pennsylvania.
It's probably that it's over. If it's a big win, she's all the way to the convention, says Nelson. He defines a big win as 7 percent or more and a narrow win as 4 percent or less.
If the Democratic race is contested up to the convention, Nelson predicts, There will be blood on the floor. His theory if delegates from Florida and Michigan are not seated, it will be unlikely voters will support a Democratic nominee.
Nelson declined to say if he would ask Clinton to bow out if her Pennsylvania victory is not overwhelming.
Meanwhile back at the ranch we have ever reliable Clinton enforcer Lanny Davis going on Fox News and saying Howard Dean should resign. The good old "hit em hard" "hit em from all sides" tactics.
The media loves it. They eat it up.
Lanny Davis says Dean should resignBut wait....it is not about the Florida mess. It is accusing Dean of stopping the NC debate. If he did, God bless him.
Hillary backer Lanny Davis, the self-appointed raging id of the Hillary campaign (or one of them, anyway), pushed the envelope pretty hard in a Fox News interview a little while ago, saying that Howard Dean should resign as DNC chair if he had anything to do with killing the North Carolina debate.
..."Asked if he thought Dean did in fact have something to do with nixing the debate, Davis demurred, and pivoted off the question into a denunciation of Obama.
As I've noted here before, the tensions between Dean and Hillary's top fundraisers and surrogates has simmered behind the scenes for weeks now over Dean's inability to get the Florida and Michigan standoffs resolved.
The other day, those tensions boiled over when Hillary's top donors teed off on Dean publicly for his suggestion that super-delegates should begin deciding who to support "starting now."
But no one in the Clinton camp had ever thought to use the "R" word -- "resign" -- until now.
It is all politics after all. Anything to win. Do anybody in to win. Politics as usual. Anger.
