Supporters of Hillary Rodham Clinton protested Saturday as the Democratic Party’s Rules and Bylaws Committee met in Washington to discuss seating the Michigan and Florida delegations.
Il mio male for playing the race card here, but that the first thing that came to mind when I saw this photo on the home page of the New York Times.
I never used to think about race, but since it is brought up so much these days (in both good and bad ways) I tend to think of it more.
At any rate, I feel sorry for the voters in Florida and Michigan. But face it, folks, your state party leaders violated national party rules. They played a game of chicken and I think they are going to lose.
I read an article a while back (and I’m too lazy to look it up now — besides it’s a nice day outside and I have to go mow the lawn) which discussed a proposal to change the presidential primary election process. If I recall correctly, Iowa and New Hampshire would remain in the lead-off and #2 spots with the rest of the country divided into regions. The regions would rotate as far as which regional primaries would follow New Hampshire. It sounded like a good idea.
