The Democratic National Convention is scheduled to begin in Denver in
just 111 days.
Merely the announced intention of the Democrat high command to exclude
all of the delegates from Florida and Michigan for their states'
disobedience in holding primaries early suggests that Denver may be as
wild as Chicago in 1968 – though with much less actual blood in the
streets.
What is even more politically explosive is the growing possibility that
neither candidates Barack Obama nor Hillary Clinton will arrive in
Denver with enough votes to win the nomination before the balloting
begins.
That and reported threats from polled backers of both these candidates
that if the other is nominated, they will not support the nominee.
This is why there are reports of G.O.T.S.B. (Gore on the Second Ballot)
with the former vice president and now Nobel Prize winner thought of as
possibly prestigious enough to unite a savagely divided party.
Given the result of the Pennsylvania Primary and the latest in Sen.
Obama's Wright Crisis, there might be a possibility that the senator
from Illinois will withdraw.
Syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer asks:
"How does one explain campaigning throughout 2007 on a platform of
transcending racial divisions, while at the same time contributing
$26,000 to a church whose pastor incites racial hatred?"
"Take (William) Ayers; Obama makes it sound as if their relationship
consists of having run into each other at the DMV. In fact, Obama's
political career was launched in a 1995 meeting at Ayers' home. Obama's
own campaign says that they maintain friendly relations. Obama's
defense is that he was 8 (years old) when Ayers and his Weather
Underground comrades were planting bombs at the Pentagon, the U.S.
Capitol and other buildings. But Obama was 40 when Ayers said publicly:
'I feel we didn't do enough!""'I can no more disown him (Jeremiah
Wright) than I can disown my white grandmother,' said Obama. Guess it's
time to disown Granny, if Obama's famous Philadelphia 'race' speech is
to be believed. It was hailed, celebrated, canonized as the greatest
pronouncement on race in America since Lincoln at Cooper Union. ... On
Tuesday, the good senator begged to extend and revise his previous
remarks on race. Moral equivalence between Grandma and Wright is now,
as Nixon used to say, inoperative. Poor Geraldine Ferraro, thrice
lashed by Obama in Philadelphia as the white equivalent of Wrights'
raving racism, is off the hook."
"These equivalencies, having been revealed as the cheap rhetorical
tricks they always were, Obama has now decided that the man he simply
could not banish because he had become part of Obama himself is,
mirabel dictum, surgically excised. Obama decided to cut off Wright,
not because Wright's words, or character, or views, had suddenly
changed. The only thing that changed was the venue in which Wright
chose to display them – live, on national TV at the National Press
Club! That unfortunate choice destroyed Obama's Philadelphia pretense
that this 'endless loop' of sermon excerpts being shown on television
sets and YouTube had been taken out of context."
