The political science part of me wants a wild and brokered convention, with multiple ballots, hurried conversations at the back of the hall, deals made, favorite sons and daughters, three or four roll call ballots, hearing “the state of Pennsylvania casts ___ ballots for,” and the final victory of a candidate to represent the party in the November election.
The Democratic part of me wants this over and done, with Kamala Harris sweeping to victory on the first ballot, with the party rank and file unified and excited and ready to march to such an overwhelming victory that any claims of voter fraud and rigged elections will look as dumb as they really are.
The Democratic Party part of me has completely overpowered the political science part of me.
Hopefully the thrill of victory in November will overcome us all!
ReplyDeleteIt's certainly not a sure thing, but it is also certainly looking a lot better than it did two weeks ago.
