Clinton supporter ousted from DNC

[SoxFan]

DNC member and Clinton supporter Gaetan DiGangi was ousted from his position by the New Hampshire Democratic State Committee this afternoon. DiGangi was defeated by state senator Peter Burling, an Edwards supporter, who had the backing of most of the state committee's Obama supporters.

Unfortunately, DiGangi holds on to his seat until after the Denver convention this summer. Still, his connection to Hillary was a major factor in his defeat, with Obama, Edwards, and Richardson supporters expressing their dissatisfaction with the Clinton crowd.

1. Awesome.

Expect to see more of this as dems wake up to the destructive presence that is the Clinton Wing of the Democratic party.

2. Wow, now with all the details thats certainly newsworthy... I had no idea that...

Edwards was dissatisfied with the Clinton crowd... Not so surprising, but interesting none the less.

18. "Edwards"...? Or "Edwards supporters"...?

Edwards is keeping his powder dry, from all reports.

9. Hillary probably is going to lose her Senate seat.

She is on the wrong side of history.

13. Excellent!

15. Terminating the DLC..... one rat at a time.

.....humanely, of course. :)

[SoxFan]

24. Wrong

Gaetan DiGangi is not a DLC guy. Quite the opposite. Much of Hillary's support in NH is made up of old line party apparatchiks, teachers union types, and Shaheen loyalists. Most of the New Democrats (what you would term "DLCers") were with Obama or Richardson.

17. Why do people hate Hillary.

:rofl:

[Hope And Change]

19. K & R!

20. COOL...

22. Hope her supporters are paying attention. n/t

23. I wonder if this scares the hell out of superdelegates. n/t

[MaineDem]

25. Now that's a shame.

Only on a personal level. I know Gaeten. He's a good guy.

It's true, the new DNC members take their seats the Friday after the convention so Gaeten is still a superdelegate,
