The Forever Campaign
Aug. 6th, 2008 02:13 pmApparently, Clinton is STILL trying to get votes for president. Specifically she is trying to have it arranged so that her supporters can still vote for her at convention, you know "for party unity" "The best way I think to do that is to have a strategy so that my delegates feel like they've had a role and that their legitimacy has been validated." she says.
I think her obsession with this is extremely creepy and specifically unfitting for a candidate for president (or say Vice President). Also, as I've said before, I think this "the party needs unity!" thing is being entirely made up by her.
In somewhat related news the article that inspired this also mentions the states whose primary votes weren't counted. I don't know how they decided the current order the states are expected to vote in, but I think it ought to be smallest-to-largest. That way everyone's vote is important at the time its made at least and little states left at the end aren't completely ignored. And as to enforcing it, instead of just nullifying the votes altogether of states that don't comply with the order, maybe dock them a percentage of their delegates or something (for the primary convention). Why does it have to be all or nothing?
