Will we see an onslaught of Democratic Party shenanigans?

When I think about the Democrats pondering the idea of having the folks in Florida and Michigan recast their primary votes it sounds like a young male hollering, “slips” while shooting marbles in yesteryear. The young man knew he might get another chance to shoot his marble because things did not go well on his first try. In essence, the Democrats would give the Florida and Michigan voters another try at getting their votes included because their leadership slipped up the first time around by their attempting to run roughshod over the party rules.  

The real concern is that Democratic Party hacks, who may be committed to a particular candidate, present an image of asking wolves to guard a henhouse. It is a joke to believe that a Democratic Party in-house voting effort will be nonbiased when many of the officials are known to have a biased view.

A new vote idea sounds much like a way to give the super delegates cover in hopes of not leaving the Democratic Party split going into the November General Election that is a virtual guarantee that Senator John Mc Cain will be the next US President.  Thus, the more I think about the advent of an onslaught of Democratic Party shenanigans to appoint their Presidential standard bear for the 2008 General Election the more I am beginning to prepare to say, “President John Mc Cain.”
