Donna Brazile Damaging The Dem Party Again

Speaking for me only.

Via Jerome Armstrong, Donna Brazile is at it again, this time arguing against do-over primaries AND seating the Michigan delegation in a March 7 column:

With two-thirds of the primary contests already completed, the DNC cannot allow the Florida and Michigan delegates to decide the nomination. It would be wrong. And it would be dangerous.

. . . I suggest that these two states avoid any "do-over" contests. The voters have spoken. While Obama may not like the results in Michigan, where his name didn't appear on the ballot, I have a hard time ignoring the Florida results, where his name did. More important, a do-over would send a terrible message to states already thinking about moving their primary or caucus forward in 2012 or, heaven forbid, 2011. After all, the reason the party came down hard last year was to avoid a primary being held before the winter holidays.

(Emphasis supplied.) Let's forget for a moment that Brazile's argument makes no sense. If you are adamant about not seating them "because rules were broken," then you should not be for seating the Florida delegation and against seating the Michigan delegation. Let's instead focus on Brazile elevating HER STUPID actions in stripping the delegations instead of imposing the 50% penalty called for by the rules over improving the Dems' chance in November!!

A Republican intent on hurting the Democratic Party could not do more damage to it than Brazile has done this year. My gawd she is awful.
