God and Jerusalem are back on the Dem's Platform

There was trouble in paradise this afternoon...so to speak. Bowing under much derision and pressure for removing God and Jerusalem from the democrat platform, the dems succumbed after the third vote to reinstate the Lord of hosts as well as acknowledging Jerusalem as Israel's capitol city. 

This has become a disaster for the Democrats and a boon to the Romney campaign. The DNC has now added God back into their platform language after originally taking it out. They have also added language back in that says Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. When they tried to change the language on the convention floor, there were boos!

Despite the corrections by the Democrats, the Romney campaign can now argue that the Democrats don't know what they believe on two very important topics. They can also argue that the Democrats only did this because of the pushback. That’s true. The Brody File first pointed it out and the media followed, making this a story that the DNC wants to make go away. The problem is it’s not going away. Expect the Romney campaign to push this until Election Day. These last second changes really just make the issue worse and make the Democrat Party look bad.

If you happened to hear the vote it sounded like more delegates opposed the reinstatement of God than didn't. Regardless, God and the acknowledgement of Jerusalem as Israel's capitol is back on the Platform whether the majority like it or not.

Still a pretty sad deal if you ask me.
