Reply #72: How can we ever hope to achieve party discipline if we don't even follow our own rules? [View All]

And nobody pays a price for breaking the rules? And you wonder why Harry Reid can't get all the Democratic senators to vote one way?

Voting (absentee, early) started there as early as December 15, before even the Iowa caucuses, and certainly before NH and SC. The election-day voting broke party rules by taking place before February 5.

If we're going to be a party, not a chaotic amalgam of different interests in different parts of the country, then we need to take our own rules seriously, or we're going to keep losing to Republicans.
