Dean: Candidates Can Veto Revote Plan

Speaking for me only

While I earlier criticized the Clinton campaign's work on revoting Michigan and Florida, let me reserve my most serious criticism for the work of the DNC on this, particularly Howard Dean. What I find hilarious is the notion that Howard Dean will somehow step in and "end the campaign," when he can not even step in and lead on this, where there is an obvious need for Party leadership. Instead, Dean says things like this:

[T]oday on CNN Howard Dean said the DNC wouldn't back any plan that isn't favored by both campaigns: "We’d like to do it in a way that’s fair, that both sides believe is fair. Fair to the voters but also fair to the campaigns."

So Dean will do nothing, lead nothing, help with nothing. What a disaster the DNC is.
