I don't even see why the AR Dems feel the need to go through the trouble.  Who cares if a few delegates vote Wolfe's way?  Obama already has the nomination locked up by a substantial margin in the delegate count.

They want the symbolism of a unanimous vote by the delegates in Charlotte.  It always looks bad when the incumbent President doesn't get that.

DNC rules allow candidates to switch out their delegates at-will, for the record. I'm 95% certain this was just the easiest pretext the AR Democratic leadership could find to attempt to force a unanimously Obama delegation and that this requirement could be at least partially waived or loosened if they wanted to.

Hmmm ... it seems like the Democratic Party is becoming less democratic all the time, doesn't it?

The only thing that matters of the end of the day is winning.

I thought that was the Republican mantra.
