This is the result of allowing a State Party to fall into the hands of hacks. The day after the FL leg passed the bill they could have started trying to get into compliance with the rules. They chose not to. After an illegitimate election Hillary further gummed the works by making promises regarding their seating that she had absolutely no power to carry out. If Clinton's behavior regarding MI & FL were my only issues with her, they would be sufficient. Voters in both states knew their Dem Primary was illegitimate and unrecognized, some voted, many not. All candidates recognized DNC authority over the elections and that the elections did not count. Right up until Hillary needed those votes, having failed in her coronation. As a dedicated Democrat I am offended by the behavior of the State Party and then the candidate. The disenfranchisment of the voters was a deliberate action taken by legs and State Parties and further abetted by candidate Clinton. Much of the unjustified attacks on DNC is due to her propaganda. Once the players in the DNC drama are placed in context, some things become a little clearer, the end of Terry McAuliff's reign at DNC marked a movement from autocratic big money top down 50%+1 strategy to Dean's bottom up grassroots small money 50 states strategy. McAuliff proved how to lose, except the Clintons, Dean has been showing how to win. A lot of large salary people have lost work in the DNC in favor of grassroots organizational spending, these people are not happy, and neither is Terry. None of that is supposition, the statements have been made across the years since '04. The Clinton behavior causes serious harm now and possibly the future to DNC. Now you have to speculate. More lazy reporting and outright untruths have been made on this issue than almost anything else. The facts have been readily available as well as case law. BS seems to win the day, regardless.

However these are the same people that annouced the positive inflation numbers last week. Oh by the way they don't count little insignificant purchases like food or fuel in those numbers. I'll trust my eyes and ears and what I see happening around me every day before I will trust any economic numbers put out by the Bush Administration.

As you know, I'm a big Clinton fan. But I must say that even though the economy is certainly doing poorly and it feels like we are in a recession, we haven't met the definition of recession yet. Let's hope that we don't! Jill – Interesting post. As you know, I’m a big Clinton fan.
