Top Hillary Fundraisers Rip Into Howard Dean For Saying Super-Dels Should Announce Support "Starting Now" By Greg Sargent - April 18, 2008, 2:27PM

Two of Hillary Clinton's most prominent fundraisers tore into Howard Dean in interviews with me today, sharply criticizing the DNC chair for saying yesterday that super-delegates should say which Dem candidate they support "starting now."

"Governor Dean should do what he has said he will do -- refrain from injecting himself into the primary process, as millions of Democrats have yet to cast their votes," Hillary national finance chair Hassan Nemazee, one of the most influential fundraisers in the Democratic Party, told me today.

"If he wishes to do something productive," Nemazee continued, "he should exhibit the leadership necessary to resolve the Florida and Michigan impasse, which has disenfranchised millions of Democratic voters."

A second prominent Democratic fundraiser, Robert Zimmerman, a Democratic National Committeeman and key Hillary fundraiser, sounded a similar note in an interview with me today.

"Howard Dean is more committed to pressuring the super delegates to make up their minds before the voting is done than he is to ensuring that Michigan and Florida's votes are counted," Zimmerman charged.

He added that Dean could "best ensure that we have a strong Democratic nominee and a united party" by focusing on those two states, rather than pressuring super-dels.

Hillary’s people get more shrill as the end nears. This is great! The longer and nastier, the better.

From the Desk of Dean the Scream:

Voting in Primaries does not Matter:
Voting at the Convention does not matter:

only the Superdelegates matter.

OBEY THE SUPERDELEGATES!

One thing you can count on with dhimmirats -

if the rules don’t provide the outcome that they want, they will ignore or change the rules.

Dean is dumb not to let the thing play out. What if something else comes up in Obama’s past or he makes another gaffe...the Super Delegates are the party’s salvation in that case, and if he has them pledge now who’ll they’ll vote for, it takes away any recourse the Dems might have. They may have to resort to Hillary (which could be the case since Obama has not really been vetted and who knows what he’ll do or say...he seems like a loose cannon lately.)

“most prominent fundraisers”

Ah, yes, the euphemism for “shareholders, seeking after their interests.”

Lessee now, Mr. Hsu has been one of her most prominent fundraisers.

Photobucket I know. Dean is so desperate to get the nomination over because the damage it's causing,he's making ultimatums and circumventing the process. Classic!

Dawn, all of that makes too much sense to be Dean.

I'm not being sarcastic. - Dean is the epitome of a loose cannon, and I personally do not understand how someone that educated can be quite that foolish.

Look at his decisions of late.

Howard Dean is the worst party chairman in the history of the DNC. Look at the circus the Democrat primaries have become.
