Comments on: West Virginia Dem Primary Near-Dead Thread http://www.bizzyblog.com/2008/05/13/west-virginia-dem-primary-near-dead-thread/ The Business End of the Blogosphere Fri, 05 Dec 2008 09:04:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: largebill http://www.bizzyblog.com/2008/05/13/west-virginia-dem-primary-near-dead-thread/#comment-122278 largebill Tue, 13 May 2008 23:09:12 +0000 http://www.bizzyblog.com/2008/05/13/west-virginia-dem-primary-near-dead-thread/#comment-122278 "As explained previously, this is a near-dead thread because Democratic Party rules enable even pledged delegates to change their minds at the August Democratic Convention." And that sentence explains what could lead to the implosion of the Dem party. Dem leaders understand that if Obama is the nominee a lot of Dem voters just won't show up in November. However, they also understand that if the nomination is taken away from him they will upset one of the most reliable voting blocs they have - black voters 90% for Dems.
