DNC Meets In Minneapolis.

[elleng]

The Democratic National Committee is holding its summer meeting in downtown Minneapolis, starting Thursday.

All five top Democratic presidential candidates will speak to the state party chairs and super delegates, including Lincoln Chaffee, Hillary Clinton, Martin O’Malley, Bernie Sanders and Jim Webb.

DNC members say that so far, there’s little political infighting.

“Everyone I have talked to, whether they are committed delegates or not, are very, very firm that we are all going to be friends up until the nomination,” Nancy Schumacher, a Democratic National Committee member from Minnesota, said. . .

The DNC Minneapolis meeting continues through Saturday.

No chance, though.

Are you perhaps not aware as well that DNC had a fundraising contest with the winner invited to attend?

I have to work. I couldn't attend in any case.

4. It's interesting to see just how little attention is being paid to

this quite important Democratic Party meeting. Many of those in attendance will be delegates to the nominating convention next summer. Some of them will be super-delegates, uncommitted to any candidate. All will be very active in the Democratic Party activities in their own states between now and the national convention.

And yet, it seems as though most people are not really that interested in what is going on. Sometimes I wonder if actual politics are the topic here on DU. This meeting will have an effect on how things go for the next year or so, with regard to the Democratic nomination. That's very interesting to me.
