Do You Hear The Cracking? The 30 person committee that rendered their decision today was made up of 8 Obama supporters and 7 DNC representatives hand picked by Dean; allowing Dean & Obama to garnish a majority vote without Dean actually having to cast a vote. The members of this committee had their minds made up when they announce the meeting, not after today’s public hearings.
The Clinton campaign naturally cannot be happy about this result, but more importantly the majority female support that Clinton enjoyed just took one more step away from Obama. Mike Kaszuba of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, reported yesterday morning that Koryne Horbal, the founder of the DFL Feminist Caucus, acknowledged that she will advise her supporters and all women not back Barack Obama if the Florida and Michigan delegations were not FULLY seated.

[snip] Dean was answering a question about whether former Rep. Geraldine Ferraro’s (D-N.Y.) suggestion was accurate that sexism among journalists has hurt Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign. He would not respond to Ferraro’s view that Reagan Democrats may have a hard time supporting Barack Obama because of racial resentment. [end]

Yeah, that’s probably the move. And that may solidify some of the Demwit base. But it will also scare the living feces out of a lot more people.
” the majority female support that Clinton enjoyed just took one more step away from Obama”
Obama’s reaction: “Why won’t you vote for me, Sweetie? Don’t you like Black people?”
