Well, at least we are getting away from the "Superdelegates could throw their votes
to Hillary at any time!" stuff.

So how about those Florida/Michigan Delegates?

Democrats Approve Deal on Michigan and Florida - NYTimes.com

As the votes on the agreements were taken, one woman, wearing a blue “Team Hillary” shirt, shoved a man in a suit and tie wearing a small Obama button on his lapel. Another woman in a white Clinton shirt hung her head in her hands.

“That was a crime!” a man shouted.

“McCain in ’08! McCain in ’08!” a woman yelled from the back of the room. “No-bama! No-bama!”
....
The deep wounds among Democratic partisans — and the unification challenges that lie ahead — were laid bare when the committee rendered its judgment around 7 p.m. Supporters of Mrs. Clinton jeered the decision.

That's why Hillary Clinton had a "UNITY" rally with Barack Obama later in June of 2008.

Only in the minds of those who were rooting that Obama would fail on his overseas trip,
and would fail to this day, did anyone think that this shit wasn't settled as far
as Obama and Hillary were concerned by July of 2008! Why do you think she gave her Delegates
to Obama first thing during the Convention? Because she realized that with the Hard Cores,
she had to leave no room for doubt as to what team she was on, and it wasn't the PUMA team.

That must have been a big let down, when he didn't fail, hey? :shrug:
