The Democrats are going to continue to eat their own

I think it is getting to the point where Republicans have to hope not necessarily that John McCain's campaign goes and wins the election, so long as they don't go out and lose it. The Democrats seem to be taking care of the winning part for us. (H/T Soren Dayton of Red State via Marc Ambinder):



You just can't make this stuff up....

They want to do what?

This seems like a ridiculous concept until I realize that they are serious:

Officials in Michigan and Florida are showing renewed interest in holding repeat presidential nominating contests so that their votes will count in the epic Democratic campaign.

The Michigan governor, along with top officials in Hillary Clinton's campaign and Florida's state party chair, are now saying they would consider holding a sort of do-over contest by June. That's a change from their previous insistence that the primaries their states held in January should determine how their delegates are allocated.

Clinton won both contests, but the results were meaningless because the elections violated national party rules.

So.....because they violated established rules, the Democratic Party is now going to allow them to do it all over again so their delegates count? What's worse is the fact that the farther you get into the story, the more ridiculous it sounds as they take about do-over alternatives to "traditional" primaries.

As an outsider looking into their process, I see it this way; Florida and Michigan made their beds, and now they need to lie in them. If the DNC does not want to look like a fly-by-night operation that's in the back pocket of the Clinton Campaign, they need to stick to their original guns....
