I Actually Agree With Al Sharpton On Something

On my way into the office this morning I heard a piece about how Al Sharpton is against the counting of delegates from Florida and Michigan because they violated Democrat rules and held their Democrat Presidential Primaries before February 5th. I agree with him on that. It just so happens that Hillary Clinton won those primaries, and now she wants to have their delegates counted. It is obvious to me that she is trying to play a dirty trick to get them counted since none of the candidates campaigned in those states believing that they would not be counted. Her name was also the only one on the ballot in those states according to this article. My guess is that if she is able to get them and win the nomination, it will tear the Democratic party apart, and allow John McCain to walk away with the Presidency in the general election. Talk about finding a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. We'll see how this plays out, especially now that Obama has won 10 primaries in a row, but the Democrats may turn out to be just as inept as the Republicans have been lately.
