Since we are approaching May 31, when the DNC rules committee decides on Michigan and Florida, I thought it would be useful to explore the words of Barack Obama and Donna Brazile on the process for selecting the nominee.
From Obama in an interview with CNN:
Obama this week warned Super-delegates to vote the way their states have voted, "if this contest comes down to super-delegates, we are going to be able to say we have more pledged delegates, which means the Democratic voters have spoken. Those super-delegates, those party insiders would have to think long and hard how they would approach the nomination."
Question: Does that mean his super-delegates in Massachusetts -- Sens. Kerry and Kennedy, Gov Patrick -- should defect to Clinton? How about Robert Byrd or Bill Richardson?
Said Super-delegate Donna Brazile to CNN,
"If 795 of my colleagues decide this election, I will quit the Democratic Party. I feel very strongly about this."
Ok, Donna, your 750 colleagues are deciding this. Are you going to keep your promise and quit the party?
Who is going to walk their talk?
