“As Mrs. Clinton prepared to formally endorse his candidacy on Saturday, Mr. Obama said the Democratic National Committee would no longer accept donations from federal lobbyists or political action committees. He said he would keep Howard Dean as the national chairman, but was deploying his own advisers to oversee party operations.”
Excuse me while I die of bliss.
You’re not seeing what’s making me so happy?
Deploying his own advisors to oversee party operations.
That. Is. BEAUTIFUL.
Look, party people, I worked for John Edwards in ‘04, and then I worked for Kerry/Edwards. I am a true-believer Democrat. I believe in social programs, government that’s good, and freedom for all. Okay? But man, did John Kerry’s campaign screw itself in ‘04.
It’s not that I think that Kerry should have done anything different with the DNC in particular except TAKE CONTROL.
Obama is making it clear: sit down, shut up, play by my rules, and let’s win this time.
Well, it’s about dang time.
If you read this blog, and you don’t like politics, or democrats, or men named Obama… Well, I’m sorry. It might be a rough few months. I’m more excited than I’ve been in a long, long time. And I love Barack Obama. And we’re going to turn it blue in November. So. Get hyped, people.
