A great comment by Dennis Byrne in the Chicago tribune regarding the confused squabble chez les Democratiques about the rights of Florida and Michigan delegates, chastized for being elected in a primary before super tuesday without proper party authorization. After having frightened candidates off the ballots in those states and having given Hillary several hundred delegates on a silver plate, now the party is debating (prompted, obviously, by Hillary aides) whether these delegates should be allowed to sit or not after all.
The same nonsensical and punitive rules that the Party endorsed, de facto creating an internal committee dictatorship, are now being set on by their most influential insider. I am no admirer of the Democratic Party in its present state, but nevertheless the current bickering offers nothing but a pitiable clown spectacle. The thought of a potential US President emerging from this muddle sinks my heart.
