Hillary Clinton supporters marched up and down the Denver Mall Monday,
protesting the DNC Rules Committee's secret vote on allotment of
Michigan and Florida delegates. That vote split the representation
between the front-runners Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, whereas Senator Clinton had actually won a greater percentage of those states'
votes. This decision left many Democratic women feeling betrayed by
their Party. After the vote was publicized, the unelected "super"
delegates flocked to the Obama camp, making him the "presumptive
nominee."
This Monday evening, Republican operatives in Denver threw a party for Hillary supporters, trying to win the undecided and disaffected among them over to McCain's camp.
