I'm just curious to know.

I really don't give a shit that they didn't endorse Hillary. I'm actually pretty happy about it.

But for an organization like that I think it would be smarter for them if they didn't do this.

So that's why I wonder if they did it in 2004.

1. I don't believe they had.
But they did run many anti-bush type things.

2. Didn't they put this up to a vote?
And didnt they require a supermajority of 66% or something like that? So isn't it less of a traditional endorsement than a statement as to who the majority of move onmembers are endorsing?

I don't give a crap about it either way, but people who are criticizing this or complaining about it are at times on here definitely misrepresenting the whole thing and making out to be that Eli Pariser took their money and is using it to advertise for Obama or something.

3. They didn't endorse in the 2004 primaries
They did conduct a vote, which Dean led. But he did not win whatever majority they required for an endorsement.
