Outlook for divided Democrats
This was weekend of Biblical proportion for Democrats. The DNC rendered its Solomonic decision, seating half the Florida and Michigan delegates. Manna rained on Hillary Clinton in Puerto Rico, showering her with 2-to-1 victory. Barack Obama made an exodus from his church. William Boone, professor of political science at Clark Atlanta University, gives us his reading of these events.
