Comments on: It’s Still A Fight http://illtelligent.com/stereo/2008/03/05/its-still-a-fight/ STILL livin' and jivin' and diggin' the skin he's in Fri, 21 Nov 2008 02:09:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Jimmy http://illtelligent.com/stereo/2008/03/05/its-still-a-fight/#comment-13990 Jimmy Wed, 05 Mar 2008 22:13:22 +0000 http://illtelligent.com/stereo/2008/03/05/its-still-a-fight/#comment-13990 As much as the superdelegates remain up in the air, I think the unresolved fate of the delegates from Michigan and Florida is another wild card that has to be factored into the equation--no one will be breathing easy until the very end of the convention. I don't think it's just Hilary who is going to be making the argument that at least some delegates from those states are going to have to be seated unless the Democratic Party really has the balls to disenfranchise every eligible voter in Michigan and Florida. If these two states are made to feel scorned now, they may not be as receptive come election time and that would be a huge disaster. I think the only way the Democrats win in November is if Hilary and Barack resurrect themselves on the same ticket--because they're both going to be wiped out mentally, physically and yes, politically. This campaign is going to get nastier. If they don't find a way to come together, I think McCain can squeak out a win--he's a war hero, he's a nice guy with a gorgeous wife, and a lot more liberal than your average Republican. If he can portray himself as the agent of "just the right amount of needed change" (as opposed to Barack's "inexperienced change" or Hilary's "polarizing change") he has a legitimate shot.

He'd've won the most states, the popular vote and the most delegates, all to be overturned by muckety-mucks?...naw, that bird won't fly at all.
