This thing between between Obama and Clinton could get really messy Here's the Scenario: the race between them remains tight. They go to the Convention in August where the nomination would depend on the votes of the over 700 super delegates, who of course can ignore the wishes of the initial voters. this will send a wrong message to the voters of an old school, not transparent way system where the party bosses, instead of the voters make the decision. This is precisely what would happen.
But it won’t happen if Democratic National Chairman Howard Dean has anything to say about it. Dean is hopeful the Democrats will have a nominee – either Clinton or Obama – in the middle of March or April. But if they don’t, he says they’re going to have to get the candidates together and make some kind of “arrangement.” I wonder what that would be.
Dean says he doesn’t think the party can afford to have a big fight at the convention and then go on to win the general election against the Republicans in the next 8 weeks.
Not 2 mention the fact that the Republicans nearly have their nominee, John McCain, sealed up
Brokered coventions tend not to be pretty.
Here’s my question to you: What should the Democrats plan to do if neither Hillary Clinton nor Barack Obama can win enough delegates to capture the nomination?
