Bonior, Booed
HUNGRY IN THE FOURTH ROW BALCONY -- Former MI Rep. David Bonior, a Barack Obama backer, was booed and hissed today when he called for the RBC to split the state's delegates between the presidential candidates.
"We cannot stand on ceremony and focus on anything other than amicable resolution for Michigan Democrats," Bonior said. "Let us concern ourselves with party unity."
(By the by, I should've kept a tally of the number of times speakers have used the words "not normal" and "fair reflection" and "flawed primary" in talking about MI.)
And this from Bonior -- Obama will campaign in MI again on Monday. Recall that John Edwards, whom Bonior previously supported, endorsed the IL Sen in Grand Rapids earlier this month.

Bonior should have been booed. Hillary won the primary, which was duly certified by the Secretary of State. She should be given the delegates according to the 55% percent vote win.

I guess you should have brought snacks.
Not quite, he or she who rabidly needs to propagandize. After speaking, Bonior received loud, appreciative applause.
Get over yourself...
Well, the most important point in this piece is the penultimate paragraph. This election season, in quite a role reversal from some recent years, it is the Dems who are strictly "on message." It used to be that the Reps had the lock on party-line messages, and the Dems were all over the map (verbally). Now it's reversed.
