Campaign shenanigans have existed since the first elections.

When Ugh challenged Argh for Ruler of the Cave People, Ugh's campaign was displeased with the National Cave Committee. Especially for its strategy of ramming Ugh supporters' heads on sticks, lighting them on fire and declaring Argh's new 'Fire Heat!' policy a success.

Seems there's a remedy for the current brouhaha. The DNC gives access back to the Sanders campaign tonight or tomorrow. And drops its request for an audit.

At tomorrow's debate, O'Malley should yell 'I'm out of order? You're out of order! This whole campaign season is out of order!'

on the folks pressing the charges. To me, it just makes the Sanders campaign look more like the feisty underdogs. And makes the DNC and DWS look like bullies. It also gives Sanders a lot of publicity.
