11. Regading "fair reflection"

Worth reading...


Lessons of the 1980 Democratic convention and nomination race were not lost on the member of the Hunt Commission (named for its Chair Governor Jim Hunt of North Carolina) as they met to write delegate selection rules for the 1984 nomination season. The 1980 race had concluded in an especially bitter and contentious convention fight between President Jimmy Carter and Senator
“We in the House, as the last vestige of Democratic Control at the national level, believe we have a special responsibility to develop new innovative approaches that respond to our Party’s constituencies." (Testimony before the Hunt Commission, November 6, 1981)


...The issue was finally resolved through a compromise created by Congresswoman Geraldine Ferraro. The Ferraro Proposal reduced the total number of un-pledged delegates to 566 or 14% of the Convention, but it left selection of the Congressional delegates in the hands of the House and Senate Democratic Caucuses. (See, Bringing Back the Parties, by David Price, Congressional Quarterly Press, 1984) The 14% number was far short of the original proposal that 30% of the convention be unpledged. However, if the number had been much larger, it would have been practically impossible to meet the equal division between men and women requirements in the rules.

Super-delegates today, in 2008, are no longer elected by congressional caucus. There have been some additions over the years and thus the total number of super delegates as a proportion of the convention has increased by about 5%.

15. Clinton shill Ickes

walked out of the proceedings while Wexler was giving his testimony. It's pretty clear that the only thing the Clinton campaign wants today is a fight, confrontation-they aren't looking for any kind of party unity-only division.

[BlooInBloo]

17. I think it's a cowardly way of saying "there's no such thing as pledged delegates"....

Like Clinton people have said before.

[Kahuna]

19. Ha! Did you see Icky skedaddle when asked asked about that?

What a doofus. He should know by now. Don't mess with Wexler. :rofl:
