That is well thought out.. But when it comes down to it, I think the DNC knows that Hillary is not electable.. that she has too many negatives and that if she does run, she will solidify the opposition..
My personal hope is that she does so-so.. I’d like to see the dems in a long, drawn out, bloody battle before they take on the GOP.
Probably wishful thinking on my part..
You sound just like the Freepers that told me that with the Jennifer Flowers story, other Bimbo eruptions,and all the known corruption in the Clinton governorship, that everyone in the DNC knew that Bill Clinton was unelectable.
I said it was bull crap then and it is bull crap now.
Hillary is far more electable than Obama or Edwards and those Freepers that want Hillary to be the Democratic nominee are going to be very surprised when she runs a much stronger campaign than Gore or Kerry.
When McCain Feingold was passed Hillary and Bill had their hand picked DNC head, Terry McAulliffe, move all the fundraising to 527s under the Clinton's control. If the DNC wants money they have to ask Bill and Hillary for it.
Remember all the early talk about Howard Dean being a great fundraiser on the internet? Then remember after he became head of the DNC how he was criticized for being unable to raise much money? The Clinton's had fixed so he could not raise money, then they blamed him for his failure to raise money.
When was the last time you heard much of anything from Howard Dean. He finally learned it was not healthy to keep blowing off. The DNC is a toothless hound dog that has no power or influence. It doesn't matter what the DNC thinks..
The DNC has never helped nominate anyone that was not an incumbent president. The DNC charter says it must remain neutral in all primary elections and it does.
The people who make up the DNC are local leaders of the Democratic party. The members of the DNC are the state and county chairman of the Democratic party. They will make up the 20 percent party votes at the Democratic National Convention. They are 40 percent of the convention votes hillary needs to win on the first ballot. Hillary has 95 percent of them in her hip pocket.
She has them because HIllary and Bill have bought at least 95 percent of those delegates. There is zero way the DNC is going to oppose Hillary in any way. They don't dare.
With McCain Feingold in effect the DNC is a worthless organization as is the RNC. They are now just social clubs with out the means to do much of anything at all.
