Shifting from Top Down to Bottom Up Politics
Al Giordano has an interesting observation on the Michigan/Florida solution and the RBC:
Michigan and Florida: Essentially, all that the DNC’s Rules & Bylaws committee did yesterday was ratify the consensus proposals from the two state Democratic Party organizations, and then ratify their own mission – with an eye on being able to set the 2012 and future primary schedules – by halving the votes of each state. The Sunday morning quarterbacks that say “well, they should have done it my way instead” seem oblivious to the larger consideration: these were the grassroots solutions proposed from the bottom-up by the parties in each state. To do anything else would have been a “top down” imposition, compounding, in lieu of solving, the problems.
From the beginning, this has been a fundamental difference between the Obama and Clinton campaigns. The Clinton campaign, in speech and deed, has been a top-down organization. The Obama campaign is the opposite.
The difference can be measured in delegates, and popular vote, if one includes the caucus states and uncommitted Michigan votes.

Sad to hear a Democrat repeat Republican lies.
Sadder still to see the conclusion of this one:
