But this is a bad thing.

Heidi Li Feldman, co-founder of The Denver Group, said the roll call vote is necessary for Obama to get her support. But, she said, it's insufficient."The only way a Democratic Party will have the credibility to elect a Democrat in November is if the party uses a legitimate process to choose its nominee," said Heidi Li Feldman, co-founder of The Denver Group. "We are not per se a Clinton support group, we are a Democratic Party get-your-act-together support group."
Since the roll call vote is insufficient to get her support and the process was illegitamate and cannot be done over by November, I am assuming she is not going to support Obama.
And the amazing thing is, if the process was so horrible, why did Ms. Fledman and those of her ilk, not say something after Iowa? Or why not after New Hampshire, which was won by Mrs. Clinton?
My frustration with all of this is that the drum beat did not start until Obama won on Super Tuesday and went on a roll throughout the month of February, from which the Clinton campaign never recovered. There wasn't a "problem" with the process until Clinton starting losing.
And if Ms. Feldman has a problem with the process, perhaps she should have said something back in 2006 or 2007, but I'm sure, like most people, she thought Clinton had the nomination in the bag.
And as an Obama supporter, the likes of Ms. Fledman offends me. I and millions of other volunteers donated money, recruited volunteers, travelled to states all over the country, inspired by Obama's message, character and his good judgement. And to say he won because of an illegitamate system is insulting and couldn't be further from the truth.
The bottom line is Mike Henry was right. The Clinton campaign should have skipped Iowa - but they chose not to. And that decision lead to the Clinton campaign spending tens of millions of dollars in Iowa, which almost bankrupt her campaign, and left her without funds to be able to compete after Super Tuesday. That, and Mark Penn, is what cost her the nomination, plain and simple.
