My head is reeling.

I have one thing to say about donkeys who break the rules.

Just hush.

1. Ah, all that stuff about panic in the states is bunk

As Dean keeps pointing out, this is great for the states, especially traditionally late states, because there is a lot of enthusiasm, voters get to meet the candidates, etc.

This is just the press having a freak out party. There's no rush, and Obama will beat Old Man McCain like a drum in November.

2. Nice hatchet job by the MSM on Howard Dean

The one thing I got loud and clear from that clip was the MSM trying to throw Dean under the bus. Anyone who is paying attention can see the DNC told the states last year that their agreement to allow the four up-front states (IA, NH, SC, NV) to go first meant they agreed to not hold their primaries before Feb 5th. And then when they moved them up anyway, the DNC warned them of the consequences. And they STILL moved them up.

The DNC has bent over backward to try and make this right for the voters, but the entire system was hijacked by Bill Nelson and others like him. Now those of you in FL and MI get the short end as Nelson, et al try to force their will on the rest of the country instead of playing by the rules like the other 48 states plus territories. This is NOT Dean's fault. It's the fault of the FL and MI parties who actively disregarded their previous agreement.

3. Yes, it was a hatchet job on him. Nelson was the worst.

It is very sad for our country that it is probably like the hatchet job they will do on Obama as well. They do it very well.

It means that people who really care and want to fix our country will never get the chance.

4. It's so difficult to even watch these "reporters". I thought it was settled

Michigan and Florida were stripped of delegates for violating the rules. They were told this would happen before they changed their primary dates and they chose to do it anyway. They made the decision to lose their delegates. It should be a done deal.
Hatchet men like Russert, Stepenopholis, Blitzer and Hume etc make me want to vomit. Steph. said he spoke to many democrats...hahahaha...elitist dems are the only dems he knows. Russert's eyes are still trying to grow together making him the obvious cyclops he has become...it's just disgusting.

[madfloridian]

5. It's what they do. Before it is over, they will destroy Dean's reputation...

and they will make Nelson and Levin look like saints for being the vote-saviors.

6. Nobody pays them any attention except us and the inside-DC crowd

In fact most anything they say is completely disregarded by most.

They didn't mention corruption before 2006 (nor after that Friday) and it was #1 in every exit poll. They have no idea how to cover a *gasp* BLACK GUY and they have no idea what is going on outside the castle walls.

7. Oh the DRAMA
