Reply #16: YOU might believe in the democratic process [View All]

but our opponents do not.
therefore, we must not be so naive as to think that they are going to "play fair" and leave the nomination of the Democratic candidate to Democrats. You weren't aware of them plotting to attempt to throw the MoveOn primary to Al Sharpton? They registered at MoveOn in their dogs' names and also announced brazenly that even after the deadline for registering for the vote they could somehow get people registered (I forget the details of that trick).

No need to remind anyone of the Repugs' love of touch-screen voting machines, or of the "anomalies" in 2000 and 2002 elections.

Over at freeperville they constantly discuss plans for interfering in the Democratic primary.

Since Dean is the most innovative of the candidates and also seems to have a good awareness of the low tricks that his opponents can and will play, I actually think he would chuckle if he knew of this tactic. I am one of "Dean's people" (along with almost 500,000 others who have signed on as supporters) and I do approve.
