Mea Culpa -- the 100 or so delegates were elected in March 2002, which is not two years ago. Preliminary reports are that as many as 25 of them have already moved. I may be overly optimistic -- but this does not seem to me to be an accurate representation of the Democrats who live in the Third Ward.
The Party should consider some basic standards for holding an endorsement convention. The "quorum" should be based both on the eligible delegates -- and the base Democratic vote in the area. Without the quorum an endorsement is not an accurate reflection of Democrats intent, and perpetuates a cycle of disenfranchisement.
