It turns out some of the people swelling the ranks at what is expected to be a large pro-Clinton demonstration in Washington to pressure the DNC rules committee to seat the Michigan and Florida delegations as per Clinton’s demands won’t just be Clinton supporters — but some others (for instance, some McCain Republicans) as well.
All’s fair in love, war and politics — but this was probably not supposed to get out as widely as it will now that it’s on the Internet. If this report is correct it is sooooooooo “old politics.” And it’ll be interesting to see if some enterprising mainstream reporters at the scene interview some McCain and Huckabee supporters to ask them why they’re out demonstrating in a Democratic party rules controversy.
P.S. Have invitations gone out to supporters of Bob Barr and Ralph Nader yet?
