A member of the DNC rules committee, and grandson of a President, says the Party won't give in on seating the Florida and Michigan delegates.

Why does Barack Obama attend an Afrocentric church in Chicago? Here is a story that gives some background to the question. Essentially, as the son of a Kenyan man and a white woman from Kansas who grew up in Indonesia and Hawaii, and who received an elite education at some of the nation's finest schools, Obama needed to prove he was "Black enough" to win elections in his Chicago district. One way to do that is to do community work, which he did, and marry a woman from a prominent local African-American family, which he did, and become a member in good standing of an Afrocentric church, which he did. Perhaps he did all of these things, not out of a desire to become more electable but, rather, to become part of a community. Either way, the result is the same. Dick Morris agrees with that premise, and argues that, in the end, the Wright controversy will not prevent him from winning the nomination. That is probably true, but it might prevent him from winning in November, as pointed out by Jim Geraghty and Larry Kudlow, who are looking at the recent polls from Pennsylvania, Ohio and Florida. All show McCain beating Obama, but not doing as well against Clinton. Even here in New Hampshire, McCain has taken the lead. What a fascinating dynamic, and one that surely is providing ammunition for the Clintonistas as they try to make the case that their candidate is best able to win in November.
