pre-Democratic convention discussion LATEST: Sanders supporters protesting

DWS has already lost effective control of the DNC and will be gone in ~6 months anyway, so it's irrelevant really.

DNC should give their senate hopefuls in toss-up seats some primetime slots.

Agreed, unfortunately you wouldn't be able to do that for some states like Florida or California (yes I know it's not a toss-up).

They'd have no problem throwing Grayson under the bus.

Jim Webb isn't even voting for Clinton because he's a real Democrat Republican.

Jim Webb isn't even voting for Clinton because he's a real Democrat.

Lmao and people didn't vote for him because he isn't a real Democrat.

Nice try.

I'll have you know he was polling at a full 0.4% before dropping out (presumably all Atlas Forum members.)

Hopefully Granholm's speech is as amazing and high energy as her 2012 one was, though that'll be a very tough act to follow.

In Romney's world, the cars get the elevator and the workers get the shaft!

LOL at the idea of inviting Webb and Chafee.

Proposal to eliminate supers was defeated in rules committee but could end up on the floor via minority report

Gross. Dems are asking for trouble here. It's blatantly obvious that superdelegates have outlived their usefulness (actually, they've never had any to begin with.)

If they're ever so desperate that they're willing to disregard democracy and cause a massive clusterf**k, they could just unbind the delegates altogether. So I really don't see what purpose the supers serve.

Let's see how this goes.

That would be a good compromise. When does it get voted on?

compromise plan wins overwhelmingly...so no floor fight
