#2 She does. Fast Eddie Rendell has endorsed her, so she has the Philly machine behind her. And Pennsyltucky ain't gettin' behind O, so that leaves the Steel City, and there's not enough votes there. So she'll "win" the state, but neither will have enough delegates to wrap up the nomination.
So there will be some interesting gymnastics leading up to what could be an interesting convention.
I suspect the top donks are trying to figure out whether an open convention would provide more drama and interest than a backroom deal that works everything out way ahead of time and gives the party plenty of time to heal. In either case, the trick will be to avoid a Chicago '68 replay from their own true believers. |
