why?
The DNC has no money, so the Dem presidential candidate will have to fund themselves.
Who can raise the most money the fastest?
Think, people!
President Bush made a cameo on NBC's Deal or No Deal on Monday to cheer on a U.S. veteran who had done three tours in Iraq (as Howie Mandell pointed out, one of them was involuntary, thanks to Bush's 'stop loss' policy).
Bush thanked the contestant for his service in Iraq, and joked about his own low approval numbers. "I'm thrilled to be on Deal or No Deal' with you tonight," Bush said. "Come to think of it, I'm thrilled to be anywhere with high ratings these days."

That's pathetic, even for him.

I don't get that statement. The process is the process. Are you saying the DNC should have changed it before all the primaries? I would agree to that but there hasn't been such a contentious race since the superdelegate inception, so why would they change it? Dean has made two attempts to force the superdelegates to get off their asses and declare their intentions. Of course people are going to be angry but how is that a DNC problem?
The DNC, and 527 groups, can go after McCain and still allow plausible deniability for Obama. Rather than taking the stance that the DNC has dug its own grave, which it did btw, we really should be figuring out ways of getting the war chests beefed up of groups other than Obamas campaign who are willing to get in the mud and dirty up McCain.
Again, I'm sorry for saying it, but the Clintons are right about one thing, at some point you have to be willing to point out your opponents negatives as well as your positives. McCains biggest selling point is he is likeable, the only way to counter that is to punch through the veneer with a little mud.
"Thank you for your request for more funding. I am afraid I must decline your request for money at this time. Until the DNC leadership shows some spine and insists that the candidate with fewer popular votes, fewer states, and fewer delegates won concedes, I will not send you any more money."
And then I make another contribution to the Obama campaign.
I cant wait for him to face McNasty. I do think Obama fights fair, but he can also hit him where it hurts because he is running for Bushs third term. He can stay on message, and the message for McCain is bad news, all bad news.
Also, the DNC is is running the quite-expensive 50-state strategy. A strategy that proved worth its weight in gold in 2006.
I'd be more curious to see the total fundraising numbers and expenditure reciepts than the CoH numbers as an indictment of the continued primary.
And @jr. When that tool on CNN asked Hillary if God wanted her to be president, she answered in the only way one can possibly answer that question--citing Abraham Lincoln. "I don't want to claim that God is on our side, I want to pray humbly that we are on God's side."
I haven't seen Obama hurting for funds this cycle, either.
"McCains biggest selling point is he is likeable, the only way to counter that is to punch through the veneer with a little mud."
A little mud isn't really needed if the MSM will stop giving Insane the free pass.
His past is overflowing with a lot nastier stuff than mud. He is a complete charlatan and fraud; dishonest, corrupt, and immoral; a completely despicable person. I see nothing likeable about him except perhaps for the wheeler-dealer shady lobbyist types with whom he has had long and symbiotic (and profitable) relationships.
Get a life and understand that the political process doesn't bow to your childlike tantrums. The American voter is not dumb but you seem,. as the Republicans do, that that is the case.
