Discussing various issues. Delegates from FL and MI. Superdelegates, etc.

Good interview.

This was before his meeting with the Florida delegation.

Here is a write up of that interview.

Deans says rules will not be bent toward either side.

DEAN: No, my view is that the voters will work it out. And I have to chuckle a little bit. The people who are complaining that I'm not taking a stronger role, when you drill down on that a little, as I have, when they have called me, is, I see (should be SAY..checked with the video) what you mean, is you would like me to be a strong leader and adopt your point of view and then ram it through the DNC. I am going to not going to do that for either side.

There are going to be donors and supporters on both sides that are mad at me. I am going to play this one by the rules, right -- there's this clear set of rules. Everybody knew what the rules were a year-and-a-half ago. Those are the rules that we are going to nominate the next president of the United States under. And we are not going to bend the rules for either side.

2. He states the rules and the big donors threaten.

It is just amazing. And FL keeps on bullying.

4. He has stayed above the fray in handling this situation.

It is one that the party has never really had to handle before, with two states being so blatant.
