I am extremely confused
on www.deanforamerica.com it says that D.C Caucuses are on Saturday. I thought we already had a D.C primary. Whats going on?

1. That was a nonbinding primary
This one actually counts for something.

2. Oh good
now that the media has disembowled him he'll lose something he already won. That makes a ton of sense.

These will be binding. The one in January more of a publicity sunt, after the local Democratic Party and DNC clashed over the significance of it. Originally it was intended to call attention to DC's lack of Congressional representation, but the DNC pressured them (because they were pressured by Iowa and NH) to move their primary or else. So they decided to hold it but not pick delegates from it. It's a sad story, actually.

4. And Dean had to go piss off Iowa and NH
for the sake of the disenfranchised DC folks. He should get with the problem and stop threatening to rock the boat. Can't he see he is getting in the way of our big win?
