From The Hill on Wednesday:
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) wants to hold Rules Committee hearings in September on the presidential primary process, an effort that could remind the public of her party’s contentious nomination battle just two months before the general election.
Feinstein, chairwoman of the committee, says the hearings will be limited and won’t be conducted [...]

Timing is everything… Isn’t it. How curious that just a short time before the DNC Rules Committee made their final decision, the Obama campaign announced that the Obama’s were leaving the Trinity Church. Now, it could be just a coincidence that Obama decided to make this announcement tonight, but sensing an outcoming from the Rules [...]

I’m still shaking my head in wonderment over the deal forged at the DNC’s Rules Committee Meeting today. In a nutshell, as Marc Ambinder notes, “Clinton nets 24 delegates out of the day.” Read Ambinder’s take on the closing moments of the meeting.

Ok I think we’ve finally entered silly season here folks. For a guy who got his big start by making a speech at an anti-war rally a few years back (a speech he seems to have built his entire campaign around), this statement by his campaign about this Saturday’s protest at the DNC meeting in [...]

I got this in my inbox earlier today… I’m busy, busy… But, I think this video speaks for itself:
The Caucus has more on the protests planned for the upcoming rules committee meeting.
UPDATE: I highly recommend reading “Caucuses vs. Primaries : A Report” at TalkLeft.
UPDATE 2: Read Alegre’s post: So – Who’ll Be Next?

Peter Daou just thanked all the bloggers supporting Hillary and introduced her. She’s speaking now, thanking us all for working so hard in the blogosphere to make her case on the issues that matter. Hillary [...]
