This was a weekend of Biblical proportion for Democrats. The Democratic National Committee rendered a Solomonic decision, seating half the Florida and Michigan delegates. Manna rained on Hillary Clinton in Puerto Rico, showering her with a 2-to-1 victory over her rival, Barack Obama. And Obama made an exodus from his church, Trinity United Church of Christ.
William Boone, professor of political science at Clark Atlanta University, gives us his reading of these events.
