Democratic Primary for Dummies: What’s Happening This Weekend
I haven’t done one of these in a while, but with today’s rules and means committee? I felt it was necessary.
So, what’s the deal with today? Simply put, its about the whole Florida/Michigan fiasco. I don’t have much to say on this, but its all about the committee sitting down and discussing how to count the votes in both of the contested states. There are many ways to look at it, but I’ve got to default to the political voice that I always listen to: Chuck Todd. And not only has he said that, he’s also had this nice little write up.
There are multiple ways that this could play out, and when things are said and done, I’ll talk about it on Monday.
Also, on Sunday, Puerto Rico votes in the primaries. Early polls forecast a 150,000 vote win for Clinton, which sort of makes sense with her strong Hispanic base. We’ll see, though. I don’t expect it to be an Obama win, but the margin of the win will be interesting to see.
That’s that. More next week…
