What he really means is for the “selectee.”
We mustn’t let it get out that over half of the Democratic Party actually supports Senator Clinton. We mustn’t let anyone know that there are actually delegates who are refusing to fall in line behind “The Chosen One” or who are still committed to expressing their preference for Senator Clinton and representing the 18 million voters who chose her.
The New York Times Reports:
When Mr. Dean reached out to Cynthia Ruccia, who started an organization of female Clinton swing-state voters threatening to vote for Mr. McCain, Ms. Ruccia asked that the Democratic convention include a symbolic first ballot for Mrs. Clinton’s delegates. Mr. Dean discouraged the idea on the grounds of unity. [emphasis mine]
Howard Dean the DNC are clearly trying to suppress Senator Clinton’s support and prevent her multitude of pledged delegates from voting for her at the Convention. They are running scared, because they are well aware she could still take this thing when it comes to a vote at the Convention.
Apparently it’s not enough that the RBC, on the DDD (the Day Democracy Died) arbitrarily and while dancing on the grave of “the rules,” not only reassigned 55 “uncommitted” delegates to Senator Obama, but also hijacked 4 of Senator Clinton’s delegates and handed them to Senator Obama, officially making him the “selectee,” now they want to just throw out the voting all together and prevent pledged delegates or superdelegates (who can change their mind up until they submit their secret first ballot) from even having the option of voting for Senator Clinton, the popular vote winner.
Senator Clinton’s name should be on those ballots, as she has not released her delegates. The same holds true for Senator Edwards and any other candidate that earned delegates and suspended their campaign.
This is disgusting. The Democratic(?) Party needs a name change, stat.
