...and will cloud his aura if he's not.

1. Perez of the Democratic NATIONAL Party isn't responsible for the Iowa Democratic Party's fuck-ups...

...in operating their own caucus.

Girlfriend needs to conjure up a clue.

[DanTex]

7. But he has the clout to call for a recount.

Pretty sure that he also had the clout to get the IDP not to mess with "Shadow Inc" and their untested app.

[W_HAMILTON]

8. And people would have then bitched that he should be fired for directly meddling in state elections.

Furthermore, the Iowa Democratic Party said in a statement that if any candidate requested a recanvass, they would grant such a request, which means they apparently don't give a shit what Perez himself called for.

[DanTex]

11. Being a leader means making correct calls even if people complain.

I'm sure he was in a tough spot. On the one hand, Shadow Inc is funded and run by Democratic party operatives, who probably would have been pissed off if Tom Perez had tried to use his clout to oppose the use of their app. On the other hand, the app was untested, and using it was risky to the process.

[W_HAMILTON]

12. So, you wanted the DNC to personally test an app that was commissioned by a state party?

Yeah, that would sure have staved off the conspiracy theories and calls for his firing.

24. Will Shadow Inc. melt if hit by a commercial airliner?

Please show your work.

2. Marianne must have meditatd a long time on that one.

[PatSeg]

3. And everyone is waiting with

baited breath to hear her opinion about the DNC.

[oasis]

15. A better idea would be to get rid of the clock that added to her 15 min. nt

16. We live in a bizarre age

where people run for office primarily for the publicity. They often are selling books, lectures, or a brand or auditioning for a television gig. What a great way to get their name and face out there! It really undermines the seriousness of our elections. Too many clowns and unfortunately some of them might win in spite of themselves. One large orange one comes to mind.

18. Bush II's "leave no child behind" era, left many minds behind. nt

[PatSeg]

19. And I think a lot of this nonsense

is an extension of the whole reality TV era. I am shocked at the people who watch that crap all the time. Some switch over to Fox News now and then, more reality TV essentially.

Personally, I find most reality TV boring and predictable. I just don't understand the popularity.

[oasis]

21. Sadly, the "Dumbing Down of America" is a smashing success.

[PatSeg]

22. Yes

and reality TV is usually cheaper to produce than dramas and sitcoms. I know people who have gotten hooked on it, but like I said, I find them terribly boring. I do watch Finding Your Roots and Who Do You Think You Are, because of my interest in genealogy, but they are usually informative.

26. Brilliant.

[SoCalNative]

4. And I want to be 6" taller

but that's not gonna happen either

[PatSeg]

20. Oh ye of little faith!!!

You just aren't believing hard enough.

[DanTex]

5. She's not the only one. This was catastrophic, and he's the head of the DNC.

[SaschaHM]

6. I guess they said no to having a crystal table at the DNC. nt.

[ploppy]

9. I don't care what she thinks. n/t

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

10. O go soak your head and take some herbal meds

O wait

[redqueen]

13. Is Tom Perez running the IDP?

News to me.

[MineralMan]

14. We don't care Marianne. Sorry.

Blessed be...

[rockfordfile]

17. She sounds like a idiot

[Blue_true]

23. I would not use your words. But as I read what she wrote, it didn't make

sense in the aspect of her understanding how to fix the problem in Iowa. The solution is closed, ranked choice primaries.

[UniteFightBack]

25. She really needs to step off. nt

[Cha]

27. No.

[Zolorp]

28. Why should anybody care what she thinks?
