FL Dems all over Iowa
Greetings from snowy Des Moines, which is crawling with Democratic veterans of Florida campaigns. In the last few hours alone we've seen Jim Davis campaign alums Josh Earnest (Obama) and Jen O'Malley Dillon (Edwards' much feared top dog in Iowa); Bob Graham/Janet Reno alum Mo Elleithee over at Clinton HQ, alongside Bill Nelson adviser Mike Henry and Rod Smith manager Paul Neaville. Presumably,former state Democratic party executive director Luis Navarro is around here somewhere too beating the bushes for Joe Biden.

Are would be future political leaders have no compunction against running with reprobates who assent to and cooperate with the National Committees disenfranchising or partially disenfranchising every single Florida Democrat or Republican.
I guess our local leaders, as well as the presidential candidates, believe we are cows and sheep enough to not hold it against those who took our votes away and those who run with them--they expect no consequences from the disenfranchisement; thereby demonstrating what they think elections are about--winning power, not the link between the people and the governors.
How sad.

I wonder how many people in Fl are turned off from Edwards now that they realize that O'malley is running his operations. If it wasn't for her Davis would be governor of FL.

Democrats just have no shame or dignity. Please DNC, hit me again.
