It is rare that a party platform contains language that is not in accord with the party nominee's wishes.

If President Obama wants it in, there may be some backroom deals needed to be made, but it will be in the platform. If President Obama doesn't want it in, then it probably won't be in.

And this will provide Dems with a moral leg to stand on further down the road. They need to beat the Repubs to it, not like they're having much competition…

"… and the majority had no response at all."

This really needs to be the tagline for the Democratic National Committee. It sums up perfectly their utter inability to take a stand on anything. This is the same "leadership" that got us DOgMA in the first place.

Republicans on the other hand are so effective at pushing their agenda through (vile as it is) because they at least have the balls to take a position and defend it without first sticking a moistened finger in the air to see which way the political winds are blowing.
