bring finality, predictability and common sense to the nominating calendar
Edited on Wed May-21-08 09:06 PM by Johnny__Motown
This is part of the pledge Hillary signed....



I know everyone just reads the part about not campaigning in FL & MI but there is more to the pledge than just that.




I took it off Chris Dodd's site... just for the sake of neutrality



http://chrisdodd.com/media/releases/chris-dodd-signs-pl...





The full pledge is below:

WHEREAS, Over a year ago, the Democratic National Committee established a 2008 nominating calendar;

WHEREAS, this calendar honors the racial, ethnic, economic and geographic diversity of our party and our country;

WHEREAS, the DNC also honored the traditional role of retail politics early in the nominating process, to insure that money alone will not determine our presidential nominee;

WHEREAS, it is the desire of Presidential campaigns, the DNC, the states and the American people to bring finality, predictability and common sense to the nominating calendar

THEREFORE, I, Christopher J. Dodd, Democratic Candidate for President, pledge I shall not campaign or participate in any state which schedules a presidential election primary or caucus before Feb. 5, 2008, except for the states of Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire and South Carolina, as "campaigning" is defined by rules and regulations of the DNC.



(Yes, I just made another thread just like this. I seemed to not be making my point clearly)

1. When, oh when, is one of the Sunday news hosts (Russert comes to mind) going to
put this pledge up on the screen, read it, and then ask Clinton what the f--- she thinks she's doing?
