How did Howard Dean (5.00 / 4) (#3)

become such an unresponsive buck passer?  This isn't the Howard Dean I expected......what the?  And because your plan thread had to be closed due to the overwhelming response to your genius I just thought I would say that yeah, it's a pretty good plan.

How is he unresponsive? (none / 0) (#108)

Is he supposed to submit the dates to the states for when primaries are to be held? Is he supposed to write out where the polling places are supposed to be?

No, if Florida and Michigan want do-overs, they submit their plans to the DNC. What's buck-passing with that?

DNC (5.00 / 2) (#118)

what Dean doesn't say is this:

Florida democrats had no choice in the timing of primary.  Their hands were forced by republicans.

Further, on the election day, a very important initiative was on the ballot, so democrats had to show up.

The rules stipulated stripping the violator states of half their delegates (like GOP, any controversy there?), but DNC's Rules and By-laws Committee, due to strong argument by yes, you-guessed-it Donna Brazille chose to strip Florida of all its delegates, and also to ban campaigning and spending money there to boot.

Andgarden is definitely right.  DNC has managed to f&^k up a one car parade.

Now, Dean is adding to it.

Did I mention that DNC's solution for Florida was to offer them help of hold a caucus at 125 locations across the state?  yes, 125 locations for the whole state of Florida.
