Posted on: Democrats do indeed suspend convention

The Clark County convention was planned when Hillary was ahead 30 points in the polls in Nevada and she was the "inevitable" Democratic nominee. If that had held, Obama/other candidates would have received about 2000 delegates in the county caucuses; Hillary would have be declared the nominee on February 5 and Ballys would have been the perfect size for a Clinton pep rally on Saturday. The problem was that Hunt and Company, like Clinton and Company, had no Plan B.

Posted on: Clark County Dems suspend caucus voting

Hopefully a nominee will result from the March 4th primaries and we can have a convention to ratify that selection. Apparently, the County Party is incapable of handling it any other way. I believe that part of the reason that delegates weren't chosen in some precincts was that the party was working so hard for Hillary that it sabotaged the process in precincts where Obama won.

Now's the time to start planning the 2012 PRIMARY.
I stood in a line for an hour last night and then sat on the floor for four hours today. I was not amused!!
