Hi all, Obama's in trouble. The Rules Committee that will decide the fate of Michigan and Florida delegates is heavily stacked in favor of Hillary. Check out the below. Co-Chairs - no endorsement Alexis Herman (co-chair, Washington , D.C. ) James Roosevelt, Jr. (co-chair, Massachusetts ) Members - Clinton supporters (12) Hartina Flournay (DC) Donald Fowler (SC) Harold Ickes, Jr. (DC) Alice Huffman (CA) Ben Johnson (DC) Elaine Kamarck (MA) Eric Kleinfeld (DC) Mona Pasquil (CA) Mame Reiley (VA) Garry Shay (CA) Elizabeth Smith (DC) Michael Steed (MD) Members - Obama supporters (8) Martha Fuller Clark (NH) Carol Khare Fowler (SC) Janice Griffin (MD) Thomas Hynes (IL) Allan Katz (FL) Sharon Stroschein (SD) Sarah Swisher (IA) Everett Ward (NC) Members - no known endorsement (8) Donna Brazille (DC) Mark Brewer (MI) Ralph Dawson (NY) Yvonne Gates ( NV) Alice Germond (DC) - DNC Secretary Jaime Gonzalez, Jr. (TX) David McDonald (WA) Jerome Wiley Segovia (VA) Of the 8 above with no known endorsement I split them out like this: Obama = Donna, David, Jerome Hillary = Mark, Ralph, Yvonne, Alice, Jaime So totals equal: Obama = 11 Hillary = 17 Who do you think will win that vote? We're about to see Michigan and Florida delegates go 66% in favor Hillary, which would be a disaster, because if Obama had opted for a revote in Michigan, he would have split the delegates with Hillary, based on the tie in the polls. Now having said all that, I just did the math in my spreadsheet if this happens and Obama still wins the total number of delegates, but JUST BARELY.
