The Democratic National Committee has decided to seat delegates from Michigan and Florida–although giving each of them only half a vote. This will probably be the final nail in the coffin of the Hillary Clinton campaign:

Imagine my inner delight when I learned that the same weekend I was to visit my in-laws with Sarah and dear little Catherine, the Democrat National Committee was to hold their meeting to determine the fate of the Michigan and Florida delegates at a downtown DC Marriott.

If neither Hillary or Obama have a majority of the delegates by the time the convention rolls around, look for the Clintons to make a power play to get the Michigan and Florida delegates that the DNC voted to strip last year. These are the Clintons. Don't expect them to play by the rules.

This is my last rant on the issue...

OK, so the meme from the Hillary campaign and some Democrats seems to be that the only fair thing to do now is to seat the Florida delegates (perhaps this is a debate we should've had months ago, but I guess they seem intent on having it after the votes have been cast...whatever). Here is my problem with the issue of fairness, it works both ways.

Florida today goes to the ballot to decide which Republican sucks the least, and to decide on whether or not to lower their taxes. To hear the the proponents of Amendment One tell it, you'd think Floridians are the most tax oppressed peoples in the Western Hemisphere; forgetting the fact that they rank about 38th in terms of tax burden (though its not too surprising, as Tennesseans at 48, still bitch about their State taxes).
