No. The Republican race was over at least before Virginia's primary on February 12th; McCain was the only candidate left after the first couple primaries/caucuses. What a fiasco.
Howard Dean’s staff ran their OWN operation chaos that began back in 2006 when the Democrats for McCain began joined the 2006 “McCain 2008” staff. They were former members of Howard Dean’s website team.
And Dean’s success was purely in an online realm.
The DNC stole this election by cheating us out of full participation debates. The DNC colludes with the media on a regular basis. Conservatives need not have applied. They were not given face time.
