Howard Dean Talks to Hassan Nemazee, Part 2

I followed up with Clinton campaign finance chair Hassan Nemazee about that summit of big Clinton and Obama donors last night, and he told me that there was a bit of an epilogue to the spirited exchange he had with DNC chairman Howard Dean.

"He did call me," Nemazee said. "We did have a lengthy and a productive and constructive conversation regarding the issues that I had raised and the role that he could and hopefully will play in resolving the Florida and Michigan issue."

Nemazee said that he told Dean, "It is unrealistic to believe that the Clinton and Obama campaigns are going to come by themselves to a resolution on this matter. They are either unwilling to do so or incapable of doing so. There is a real desire on the party's part for this to be resolved. You as the chair, have to take a leadership role. And he recognized that."

Stacie Paxton, a DNC spokeswoman, confirmed that the call took place and said that it was a positive conversation.

Referring to Dean, she said, "He's been working to seat Michigan and Florida delegates and will continue to do so."

And to think Dean was a Governor? Now he can't even make a fair decision made by the people. Continues to ignore their constitutional rights. As does Obama.

They fail to understand and follow the rules and now they want the DNC to get HC and her cronies a bully trip.
Take a hike, it will be healthier.

Three other states can move up their primaries and not be punished. You can't smell the rotten fish?

Hillary says “boys have been picking on her (not verified) says:

On this coming Monday’s ‘Ellen DeGeneres Show’ — Hillary says that the “boys have been picking on her since she was a little girl.” … POOR HILLARY.
———————————————

DOES HILLARY BELIEVE THAT ALL MEN ARE ‘PREDATORS’ BASED UPON THE BEHAVIOR OF BILL CLINTON?

THAT IS A REAL POSSIBILITY.

The not seating of the delegates in these states just is really unfair to the voters of those states. If it were my state I would want to fire everyone that voted for the change of date and fire Dean for his indecision on the matter. Leaving the ending numerical goal the same and taking two large states out of the running make NO SENSE! So much for Primary Care Doctors and the dimwits in the congresses of these states that decided to do this in the first place!!!!
