33. Thanks for the link!
:hi:

I read about it when you first posted it, but it's been so long and so much has happened ... I can't keep track of the details. :crazy:


They just keep filing the same suit over and over again, but each time, they approach it from a different angle. They're just throwing things out there and hoping that something will stick. In the meantime, the DNC is spending money we're going to need for the GE. There's no legitimate reason for this. Even if they're seated as is (which is highly unlikely), she can't win.

It seems to me that this is just a DLC power play. The only way they'll maintain full control of the party is if Dean is forced out and the grassroots get discouraged or fed up enough to walk away. When average people weren't involved and candidates relied on their loyal, big money donors, they could do whatever they wanted because no one was making them answer for their actions. Now people are engaged in the political process, they're paying attention to the details and they're taking control of the Democratic party. Obama thinks that's great, but Clinton and the DLC know their power is threatened, so their only option is to turn people against Obama, Dean and the DNC.

I just can't believe this is happening in a year that we should be coasting to the WH. We had the "perfect storm" to get a Democrat elected ... and our party is at war with itself! :banghead:
