Whomod could you kinda see where if a person has donated so much to the DNC & then not have their votes count, they would be a little pissed?


This may be the first time I've defended Howard Dean and/or the DNC on anything, but why should a donor be pissed at them?

Dean and the DNC, with the agreement of both the Clinton and Obama camps, set the rules for the primary. Dean didn't break those rules. The DNC didn't break them. The Democratic parties of Florida and Michigan did....with full knowledge of the effect of doing so.

Now, are Dean and the DNC supposed to reward that?

If the donors should be pissed at anyone it's the people in those states that chose to break the rules, not the people charged with enforcing them.


Thank you!


The rules also let superdelegates vote for whoever they want. Yet Obama supporters say they would be upset if that were to happen. Seems funny that you can throw away elections on the one hand & not expect people to get upset but if it hurts your guy your ready to cry foul. I think it comes down to both ways are going to piss people off.

Fair play!
