Can someone explain to me how the Democrats handle their business? To clarify, when they make rules and other Democrats agree to the rules, why is there a problem now with the rules? As you may have picked out, I’m talking about the Michigan and Florida Democratic delegate exclusions due to moved up primaries. I’ve scoured the blogosphere reading all kinds of opinions on this matter. And I’ve come to a few conclusions with a question:
1. Blaming Senator Obama for this situation is wrong. He didn’t make the rules.
2. Senator Clinton should be going after Howard Dean more strongly since she takes issue with the rules.
3. A historic primary season has discombobulated the Democratic Party in handling this issue.
4. The job of the DNC Chairman seems confusing. Is he/she a dictator or CEO or something in between?
I’m thoroughly confused as to why the Democratic Party has certain rules in place if they really don’t mean anything. For the record, this isn’t an anti-Clinton, pro-Obama, or vice-versa post. This is a “Confused at the Democratic Party” post. And after reading Wayne Barrett’s piece over at HuffPo concerning Republicans role in this situation, color me confused, perplexed, and vexed.
I’m not complex. Don’t have time for all that. And all that complex stuff bad for the stomach. Just color me simple and plain with a twist.
