To many of us (*not* just those who were supporting Dean in the primaries), this IS a flaw in the election process.

When you have these "inside-the-beltway" types pooling resources to take one candidate out, it skews the process. This was magnified by the condensed primary schedule.

You made light of my reply before, but I'm only trying to explain that it's the principle of the thing.

This Jones moron actually boasted about taking down a grassroots, real democratic campaign that was 700,000 strong.

If we condone this or even ignore it, what we're left with will be a system in which the "insider" types can buy their candidates and spit on the will of the people.

I know politics is corrupt. I'm no baby. But this is over the top.
