Clinton Crony Terry McAuliffe Set Up The DNC Rules Penalizing MI & FL For Changing Primary Date

From Madfloridian's Journal:

It was not even public knowledge. Nobody got really upset, nobody threatened to sue McAuliffe who was chairman then. It was politics as usual.

Here's what Terry McAuliffe said to Carl Levin in 2004, as reported in his book.

Expletives were flying. The head of the Democratic National Committee was having it out with Sen. Carl Levin because Michigan wanted to crash the rarefied club of early presidential primary states.

Move your primary too early, Terry McAuliffe warned, and Michigan will lose half its delegates to the 2004 Democratic convention.

"The closest they'll get to Boston will be watching it on television," McAuliffe vowed. "I will not let you break this entire nominating process for one state. The rules are the rules."
