Yesterday, the DNC had to pretend it had a 2/3 vote to assert that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and for the inclusion of the phrase, “God-given gifts” into their national platform, because three attempts to vote couldn’t bring it. Whether it was the “God” language or the “Jerusalem” language they resisted more is hard to say. The cleverest remark on Wednesday's fiasco at the DNC...

For one, there is no reason why either the RNC or DNC should recognize Jerusalem as the Capital, when the International Community in the UN doesn't, and no administration since 1947 has.

It was my understanding the Obama intervened by asking for God to be reinstated into the platform. I think this was included in that package. It was awkward to say the least.
