Democratic Party

2118

The DNC has reached a compromise to seat half of Michigan and Florida.

2118 is the magic number now and Senator Obama is 66 delegates away.

Also -- and I really, really hope I'm wrong -- this gives Senator Clinton an awesome excuse to leave the party and run as a Liebercrat. Harold Ickes:

"There's been a lot of talk about party unity _ let's all come together, and put our arms around each other," said Ickes, who is also a member of the Rules Committee that approved the deal. "I submit to you ladies and gentlemen, hijacking four delegates ... is not a good way to start down the path of party unity."

A protester shouted:

"How can you call yourselves Democrats if you don't count the vote?" one man in the audience shouted before being escorted out by security. "This is not the Democratic Party!"

Again, I really hope I'm wrong.
