Dean | Dean Wins!!!

This may come as a surprise, but Howard Dean has already won a primary - the non binding DC primary.

The Washington City Paper has a detailed look at how city leaders buckled in the face of being denied delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Boston.

The January 13 primary was supposed to be a binding election that highlighted the voting rights issues in DC. Instead it turned into the kind of joke that is all too common in DC politics. Remember, as Chris Rock said of DC, "You elected a crack-head?" It is worth noting that Al Sharpton finished a strong second.

As you post your comment, please mind our simple comment policy: we welcome all perspectives, but require that comments be both civil and respectful. We also ask that you avoid the extensive use of profanity, racist terms (neither of which we consider civil or respectful), and other boorish language.

We reserve the right to delete any comment, and to prohibit you from commenting on this site, if we feel you have broached this policy. As a courtesy, we will first send you an email noting a violation so you understand the boundaries. This will occur only once, however, and should we ban you from our comment forums we expect that ban to be permanent.

We also will frown upon those who suggest that we ban other individuals for voicing unpopular opinions, should those opinions be voiced in a civil and respectful manner. The point of our comment threads is to provide a forum for spirited though civil and respectful discourse … it is not to provide a forum in which everyone will agree with your point of view.

If you can live by these rules, welcome aboard. If not, then we’re sorry it didn’t work out, and thanks for visiting The Command Post.
