if they give the candidates power to veto, then they have relinquished responsibility.

Some leadership.

Bush v. Gore (5.00 / 4) (#100)
by Imelda Blahnik2 on Sun Mar 23, 2008 at 10:03:58 PM EST
The whole thing reminds me of the Supreme Court's reasoning in Bush v. Gore - that Bush's civil rights were being violated, and that because of that  the recount should be stopped. In this instance, by giving the campaigns the right to reject any revote plans, Dean has framed the MI and FL primaries as events organized for the benefit of the candidates rather than the voters in those states and the state parties. And because the plans are not to Obama's liking, he gets to say no to them.
