#1 They will all have disenfranchised.

Sort of like Gerald Ford becoming becoming President without a single vote out of Congress. Also a 'compromise' candidate. However, the Gorebot will have to run in an atmosphere he help create - "Selected, Not Elected". More Eris, more.

#2 ...Up until a few days ago I was convinced that a Gore nomination was out of the question, but I'm beginning to think that if the Hilary! defections increase - like SEN Leahy a few days ago - without Obama getting more delegates, Gore might just get it into his head that he is the only person who can save the Party, just like he's the only person who can save us from global warming.

And if that happens, ask John McCain what he'd like for dinner at the inaugural ball.

#3 For this pre-convention news cycle Rantburg needs a photo of a snapping turtle that keeps biting even after it's head has been chopped off.

#5 This is almost as much fun as watching an old Laurel and Hardy short. The only thing that keeps this from being a joke is that the MSM are going spin this thing sixteen ways from Sunday for who ever the Dems trot out as their candidate.

The superdelegate scheme was put together to guarantee Hillary the nomination. If that happens and she is the candidate, I predict that it will top Nixon vs. McGovern as a landslide.

Let's see now, in November, Hillary would get four votes, Bill, herself, Chelsea and Terry MacAullife....I don't even think the Lizard Man will vote for her.

#8 I think it would be the best thing to happen to this country in a long time. It would fracture the Democratic party into 3 toothless parts and make them seen for the fascist mooncalves that they are.

#11 The superdelegate scheme was put together to guarantee Hillary the nomination.

The "superdelegate scheme" was actually put together after the 1968 convention fiasco. The concept was to provide 'adult supervision' in the event it ever happened again.
