In every corner of America, Democrats are undermining Democrats, and who benefits?
The Democrat who is the best at undermining...that's who!!

Certainly not the people..

Michigan and Fla. Dem's are takings cuts in line, and their reason is that it best serves the voting interests of their state.

Does it? What is the truth? What is the benefit? WHO benefit's the most?

What will the perception be of the candidate that stays in, and the perception of the candidate(s) that opt out?

Who wins? Who loses?

The MSM will latch onto this story like a starving baby to a teat......I predict it will end up being the "October surprise" only one year too early.
An "October surprise" is a tactic that distracts the voting public from the real issues. When was the last time the MSM latched onto a story about real issues?

As with the murky 527 sponsored TV ad's of the 2004 primary in Iowa, we never find out who the Democrats are behind the Democrat tricks, until it is too late to counter.

Are we in the throws of an internal battle... DNC (Howard) vs. the DLC (Terry) ??

If Howard's 50 state strategy of 2006 was dissed by the DLC, Rahm Emanuel et al, why wouldn't they challenge the DNC primary rules?
Why challenge now? Why wait until now?

Who the hell can answer my stupid questions? I am soooooooooooooooooooooooo frustrated and upset.

Moreover:

The drip marketing brought to us by your friendly polling companies, is working, has worked and will continue to work. Have NO doubt about that, and the manipulation behind the polling.

Really, what is a poll but answers to questions. So, aren't the questions more critical than the answers?

So if we are in the "winning is everything" column, we are happy.

But what if winning isn't everything? Then what?

I think I need to lay off the coffee...........and just give up............end of rant.

1. Yeah, let's all turn into robots
and march in lockstep. We'll get our favorite pundits out there and repeat everything they say. There will never be a word of criticism or dissent.

You want a Stepford party, go join the other one. We're Democrats.

2. Wow. Are you talking to me? Who is Stepford, the DNC trying to enforce its rules?
See, your response is EXACTLY my point.

Criticism and/or dissent is welcome in an open debate. This is manipulation. Very different. And I am a Democrat.

There was a time and place for Fla and Mich to plead their case with the DNC, and if I have this right, Fla didn't apply and Mich was turned down...I think.

3. I think the states are upset because they don't get the attention
of being the FIRST. That's what it comes down to the me first attitude. Why in the hell are they all jumping in so early.
