226. No, it's worse than that...
Edited on Sat Feb-02-08 09:38 AM by MattSh
The party "leaders" wanted him out.

1. Maybe it's because they wanted a candidate by the time the dust settles on "Super Tuesday" (might not happen with ~shudder~ three candidates in the race). Uniting the party early is more important than debating the issues and getting the right candidate.

2. Maybe JE was "too angry" (and thus not acceptable to the DLC-heads strangling the party).

3. Or maybe our leaders don't think voters can think and chew gum at the same time.

Either way, it ain't pretty.
