This has never happened in the past. Chosing the three states to pick a candidate before the others is undemocratic. Have the primary vote all on the same day.

9. As if Dean's pro-Obama don't give 1/2 vote position is not the cause of the problem. |

10. Howard is awesome. He has the Florida party on record agreeing to make nice. |
|
Good.
There is no doubt that after Obama has secured the nomination, then Florida's delegation will be negotiated and a compromise reached. I expect a simular compromise will be worked out at that time with Michigan.
Dean has been very professional and very fair thoughout the mini-rebellion spawned by the Florida and Michigan State Democratic Parties. We are extremely lucky to have him as our chair in these trying times.

Howard? We pay you to win not charm. He's the reason for our problems John Q. Citizen from DNC headquarters.
He picking Hillary to lose by interfering with the primaries is just so outrageous. I might vote for Hillary now just to bug Howard and you. What democracy?
Howard lied about him not supporting the Iraq war when I heard him say he did on CSPAN. He's been lying ever since. Leave Howard you are ruining our party and country. You are a Yalie Republican globalist.
