The DNC wants answers on rather or not McCain has broken the law by withdrawing from the federal finance system. A judge had ruled earlier that the FEC could convene without a quorum, but the FEC seems to be ignoring that judges decision.
And thank God. After tonight all the states will be counted. This has been a long primary season, but that’s due in a large part to this new crazy schedule. That’s also why I supported sanctions against Florida and Michigan. Without sanctions for violating the timing rule, we could end up with our 2012 primaries […]
It sounds more like Clinton is facing the fact she can’t win, without screwing over the process. Even if Michigan and Florida get seated as is, Obama wins the popular vote, and she has no way to catch up with pledged delegates. A lot of speculation has gone on that Clinton has been holding on, […]
An article in the New York Times talks about big money donors asking for donations back from the DNC, due to the dispute over Michigan and Florida.

Florida’s congressional delegation released this statement: “We are committed to working with the DNC, the Florida State Democratic party, our Democratic leaders in Florida, and our two candidates to reach an expedited solution that ensures our 210 delegates are seated. “Our House delegation is opposed to a mail-in campaign or any redo of any kind.” […]

Ickes is a member of the DNC and a senior adviser to the Clinton Campaign. Last year he voted to strip FL and MI of their delegates. Now he wants them back in. Why? Here’s the reason: Ickes explained that his different position essentially is due to the different hats he wears as both a […]
The DNC needs to decide to do something soon. Now both states are balking at the costs of holding new elections. I would say let Florida go as is, since both candidates appeared on the ballot. If MI is seated without another election then there will be hell to pay.
While supporting the thought of super delegates swaying the vote to Hillary: Don’t change the rules in the middle of the game – or, more accurately, don’t game the rules to change the outcome. Interesting idea. So why is it that Hillary is doing this exact thing when it comes to Michigan and Florida? Also […]
David Wilhelm was Bill Clinton’s 1992 campaign manager and former chairmen of the DNC. He is also a super delegate and now backing Barack Obama.
