Bad bloggers and the State-level DNC
by Jerome Armstrong

There's something wrong when the chairs and executive directors go on and on with their praise toward the internet that's brought millions into the coffers of the DNC, and then turns around and kicks Joe Trippi and his band of bloggers out of the meeting room when the "closed" Q & A with the DNC Chair candidates occurs. You could have walked right in off the street and into the candidate Hall unencumbered, but if you happened to be a blogger, or the guy who brought the strategy of embracing the small donor activist on the net for the Democratic Party, and he's got a blog, out you go.

There's something wrong when DNC Chair candidate Donnie Fowler, during his 5-minute presentation on his candidacy, singles out Matt Stoller as an example of embracing the technological ideas that are going to bring this party forward, and then some DNC staffer walks up to Stoller and tells him he's got to leave the room, because he's a blogger.

1. I'm hardly a Dean fan, but I have much admiration for Trippi.

This is just sooo wrong. The Democrats had far more million dollar+ donations for the presidential campaigns than the Repubs (Trippi mentioned that on "Unfiltered" on 12/3).

I'm beginning to seriously resent my party. Right now, I'm a Dem (note the avatar) but my energies are with DFA.

I've done a lot for the Democrats, and right now, have precious little to show for it.

Make me feel importatnt, even if my donations are only time and an occasional check under 100.00.

2. interesting

and good assessment per the state level.

looks like there is still a great deal of ground to cover before we get our act together in the way so desperately needed.

3. Thanks for the ling

a great site, esp. the blog section. I lost myself for quite awhile in reading it and gained quite an insight. I detest the DLC.
