In 2004 a guy nobody had heard of was talking about running a 50 state campaign for President to push for building the D party and work on taking back statehouses. Then the Dean Scream, pushed by some of the DNC by the way, killed the Deaniac movement. I did not even bother watching the 2004 returns. In 2006 I was in a ball room with 50-60 computers and monitors, over 300 people, a newly elected Democratic Congressman, all of watching all 435 congressional elections, cheering like a demented teenager at one of the early Beatles gigs. 2008 I was all "HOLY SHIT THAT JUST HAPPENED."

The DNC has now fucked me over so many times that I think I need to demand some cuddle in the afterglow.

Yeah, nationally they're kind of fucktards. I mean, long before Debbie Wasserman Schultz was LITERALLY HITLER she was that demonstrably out-of-touch lady who sent nagging emails like your least favorite aunt.

Back in 2004 this guy was literally the Hitler who torpedoed Dean. Once you understand McAuliffe, you sort of get why Kerry was the guy who won the primary.
