Just got home from a wedding--a lovely affair I might add-- |
|
and looked in GDP to find out what happened today. But EVERYONE is claiming victory, or bitching about the opponent--and I can't make head nor tails of it. Could someone give me a brief and objective hint at what the decisions were? Feel free to PM if you'd like.
Thanks! :hi:

1. From what I understand, the rules committee decided to seat |
|
all delegates with half a vote each. This gives Senator Clinton four fewer delegates than she would have had otherwise in Michigan. I believe Senator Obama now needs fewer than 64 delegates to be effectively the nominee. Senator Clinton's campaign is reserving the right to take the matter before the credentials committee. Senator Obama is speaking in Minneapolis Tuesday night at the Xcel Energy Center (where the rePiglican convention is going to be held) after all the remaining contests are over; seems to be a good symbolic place from which to essentially declare victory and move on to obliterating McSame Old Same Older.
