Democratic Convention Watch: Judge rules Michigan’s primary law unconstitutional

Judge rules Michigan’s primary law unconstitutional
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
This is yet another hit for any chance of Michigan’s January primary results counting
A federal judge on Wednesday ruled Michigan’s presidential primary law unconstitutional and blocked the state from giving voter lists from the Jan. 15 election to the state’s major political parties.

Democratic Convention Watch: Florida DNC appeal may bring back FL superdelegates

Florida DNC appeal may bring back FL superdelegates
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
Starting to percolate on the newswire is an appeal by DNC Floridian Jon Ausman. He is stating that DNC rules prohibit the Rules Committee from:
a.) stripping Florida’s superdelegates of being seated at the national convention and
b.) stripping Florida of all of its pledged delegates. He states that the penalty called for is a penalty of 1/2 of delegates (similar to what the RNC did to Florida and Michigan).

Democratic Convention Watch: College Democrats also coming to Denver

College Democrats also coming to Denver
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
The College Democrats of America have their convention every 4 years in the DNCC host city just before the big show, and this time is no exception:
With the youth vote surging this year, we are expecting a very large attendance at the annual College Democrats of America Convention. So if you want to go to Denver, start planning now! Here are the details: The CDA Convention begins Friday, August 22nd. Most of the CDA portion of the programming will be over by Sunday, August 24th but lots of events will continue through the Democratic National Convention. Both events will officially end on Thursday, August 28th.
Everyone is encouraged to stay for the College Democrats of America Convention (which will have most of its events on Friday, Saturday and Sunday) and for the Democratic National Convention (which begins Monday and ends on Thursday). For those who were at our 2004 CDA Convention which overlapped the Democratic Convention in Boston, this year will be exactly the same. During the Democratic National Convention we will host all sorts of panels, parties, and events.
Registration is limited and housing is even more limited. If you have housing options available to you in Denver, secure them now. Know a friends couch you can stay on? Great. Otherwise CDA has dorms that will be available for students from Friday, August 22 to Thursday, August 28th. Prices and registration will be up on on www.collegedems.com shortly.

Democratic Convention Watch: NFL likely moves up season opener to avoid McCain speech conflict

NFL likely moves up season opener to avoid McCain speech conflict
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
We were the first to break the story that there was a conflict between the NFL season opener and John McCain’s acceptance speech. We were ridiculed in the comments, and our good friend, Neil Best of Newsday, called some of the options “ludicrous“. Well one of those ludicrous options is likely going to happen:
The National Football League and NBC will likely move up the time of the league’s September season opener so it won’t conflict with presidential nominee John McCain’s acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention.

Democratic Convention Watch: Michigan and Florida Update
Tuesday, March 25, 2008
Michigan and Florida Update
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
First, let me introduce myself. My name is Charlie Anthe, and I’m excited to be the newest contributing member to DCW! I’ve been blogging about both national politics and more regional issues of the Pacific Northwest from my blog The Foghorn, and I’ve been a long time listener, first time poster of DCW up until today. Please feel free to send me any feedback/ideas, of either my posts here or on my regular blog.
The current situation: Both state delegations remain ineligible to be seated at the national convention. Earlier attempts to broker some kind of “re-do” primary in both states have fallen through, mostly over two main issues: 1. Who would pay for a new election? and 2. Would a state election funded by out-of-state parties even be legal, and how could the results be validated as fair?
In Florida, legislative solutions were dim from the start. Both the Legislature and the Governor’s mansion are controlled by Republicans, and they seem more than eager to watch the Democratic mess in their state continue while they sit back and share the popcorn. The Florida House Speaker was pretty emphatic about the issue:
“The state of Florida should not be involved in certifying or mediating intraparty squabbles,” said House Speaker Marco Rubio. “The state did what its job is. We held a presidential preferential primary Jan. 29. It was legal, it was accurate, it was fair, it was open.”

Democratic Convention Watch: A Tale of Two California Congresswomen

A Tale of Two California Congresswomen
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
The blogosphere, or at least the Daily Kos part of it, was all aflutter today with the rumor that California Representative Lynn Woolsey was about to pull back her endorsement of Clinton, and instead, endorse the winner of her district, or just endorse the winner of the national pledged delegates. The diarist at Kos said she had talked to someone in Woolsey’s office, who said the news release would be out shortly. Other callers, including ourselves, were told the same thing.
So we had a post all ready to go with the news. We just waited for the announcement. And waited. And finally, we contacted Woolsey’s office again. (We don’t claim to be journalists here, but sometimes we can’t help ourselves). And, lo and behold, we found out that the information was false, and that Congresswoman Woolsey was not changing her endorsement.

Democratic Convention Watch: Puerto Rico primary change approved

Puerto Rico primary change approved
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
We broke the news over 2 weeks ago that Puerto Rico was moving their date from June 7 to June 1, and changing from a caucus to a primary. Today the DNC approved the change. The change in date was just a clerical error – The primary was supposed to be on the first Sunday in June, and someone must have used the wrong calendar.
But why the change from a caucus to a primary?

We know we’ve come a long way from the early days in January when we started our Superdelegate Lists. Back then most people didn’t know what a superdelegate was. Now it’s hard to go anywhere without hearing about them.
Today we received a press release from a mystery DNC member announcing the start of MisterSuperDelegate.org

Democratic Convention Watch: Michigan postpones its District Caucuses

Michigan postpones its District Caucuses
WE’VE MOVED! Democratic Convention Watch is now at http://www.DemocraticConventionWatch.com
For those of us curious how Michigan’s 55 Uncommitted delegates would survive the post-primary process, if the Michigan delegation in its current form is ever seated, we’ll have to wait a few more weeks:
Acknowledging that Michigan’s delegate selection mess is unlikely to be resolved in the coming week, the state Democratic Party decided to postpone its congressional district conventions. The 15 district gatherings, at which more than half of the Democratic delegates are elected to the Democratic National Convention in August, had been slated for March 29. The state party’s executive committee late Friday postponed the conventions until April 19.
