Current Events

Man on the street.

I was stopped on the street by a reporter from the Sun-Sentinel who wanted to know how I felt about Clinton's attempt to free the hostage delegates from Florida and Michigan's uncertified primaries.

I told them both National Parties Committees had set up these rules in order to make the primaries as fair and representative as possible, and Florida Republican AND Democratic politicians had defied them in order to give Florida a bit more political clout. The state party committees deserved to get slapped down. And now, when the race is getting tight, suddenly they're whining about "fair representation for all Floridians". They knew the rules, they deliberately broke them, and now they're complaining. Even our Republican governor is negotiating with the DNC (the Reps are moot now, they've got a candidate) to "work out a compromise". "Screw 'em", I said.

"You must be an Obama supporter", said the reporter. "No, I'm for Clinton." And he looked totally baffled.
