Whoever runs against her in the primaries will be frozen out in money and resources.

now, first of all, I know the Party Bosses and they don't do things like that. Candidates are expected to generate their own cash and resources. But even if it were the case, why shouldn't members of the Party with deep pockets (again, the PARTY provides no support during the Primary) decide who they do and don't want to give money to?

you know Party bosses ... you are part of the problem, with your work and contributions!

What we, as a Party, needs is sincere, 20-30-something, political neophytes.

The Washington D.C. Elites won't let it happen. We are now a fully owned subsidiary of J.P.Morgan Chase. Watch and see. As for the Rethugs,they owe their collective asses to the Krotch Brothers and the likes of Sheldon Adelson and Steve Wynn.

Political parties always recycle the same people over and over.
We can find someone fresh and new.

and then I got this sinking feeling in my stomach which is never a good sign. Why do I think the Turd-Way "Leaders" will put Donna Brazile in that spot?

Glad you're here! I LOVE Howard Dean! Always have! I met him very briefly at the CA Dem Convention several years ago and was THRILLED, even for all of five seconds of it! I knew he was coming into this one particular room to speak, so I positioned myself on the aisle. So when he came striding up, I was THERE!

If we don't bring him back, we definitely need to bring back his 50 state strategy. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this extremely successful.
