Description | Blog Entry from The Crossed Pond.
An excerpt...
"The Politico article Brad linked immediately below includes the following quote:
On Sunday, Doug Wilder, the mayor of Richmond and a former governor of Virginia, went even further, predicting riots in the streets if the Clinton campaign were to overturn an Obama lead through the use of superdelegates.
“There will be chaos at the convention,” Wilder told Bob Schieffer on “Face the Nation.”
“If you think 1968 was bad, you watch: In 2008, it will be worse.”
Talk about one hell of a trial balloon.
I think it’s best to read Wilder’s comments as a prediction of what will happen, not as a call for it TO happen. The question is: is he right? I’m not so sure. I think that the demographic which would be most outraged by this outcome isn’t inclined to pick up brickbats." |
