more strategies against the democrats for 2016. Namely, the DNC can't even keep their own data secure, and democrats are not trustworthy. This could have been handled in an amicable manner without a 'hair on fire' approach by DWS.

You actually think DWS gives a tinkers dam about that....she is out to give it away and that fit right into her plans...

DNC had to give access back based on the contract. They played hardball with Bernie and he refused to lie down and take it. I think that stunned DWS & the DNC.

I await an independent third party evaluation of the vendor (Hillarys 2008 tech guys company) database and the history of access. It will be inteesting to see if any other eyes were wandering during these repeated 'bug fixes' where the firewall was dropped.

It is easy to prevent (temporarily shut down access to do builds, put up a maintenance wall) but if they were truly database professionals then each campaigns database tables would be salted and hashed with pointers to the shared data. That way no one could see their private data without serious decryption effort.

and the Bernie Sanders campaign cheated. Try using some common sense.

I was already wondering about that when Bernie came out last week saying "we can win this."

Now I'm really wondering about it...

I think she's weaker than her polling. If she loses Iowa and NH, all bets are off. The national polling will shift into a much tighter race in a heartbeat.

Has to make them a bit queasy.

Yesterday, they pretty much sealed HRC's fate as again being the loser. The stench left with the general public is clinging to HRC and not to Bernie. Total backfire.

Please.

Give it a rest.

The problem is that DU is such an echo chamber for this silliness that, without anyone to tell how ridiculous this is, you start to believe it.

It was quite stupid to pull the trigger on the database knowing damn well they couldn't go through with fighting an injunction on the eve of a damn Democratic debate. This is a massive dataset that the Sanders campaign paid $120,000 to access, which is vital to their campaign work. They had to have known a lawsuit was forthcoming, that an injunction would be filed for, and that the DNC would have to fight it. That the DNC did not fight it (knowing it could win) proves the politically risky nature of the whole venture.

DWS took it personal and overreacted big time.

she already was her chair in Florida? Or something completely ludicrous given her position at the DNC.

Nothing currently, aside from all the personal entanglements.

I heard Satan needs a few minions.

when she can work for Hillary from inside the DNC?

This whole thing is very smelly . . .

the same treatment Obama has had, and what Bill got. Debbie has to be replaced by someone
who can help with changing that ratio.

If this is still in the news Monday then it may have legs.

If it is gone by then it doesn't.

Completely destroying the party to get Hillary the nomination. I never thought it would come to this, but the dlc has done so much damage over the years that it is probably inevitable.

Brilliant! That's just the branding we want, running against Republicans.

“I want to roll my eyes right now but the doctor said if I keep doing it, my ocular muscles might spasm and eject my eyeballs.”

But the damage has alread been done to HRC by DWS and the DNC.

Someone posted about sending DWS and the DNC a thank you card for how much they have done to promote the Sanders Campaign. I do believe I will do this.

and irrelevant.

I may vote for Bernie, I may vote for Hillary, that's my business.

I don't boost either candidate here, I don't play that silly "team" game.

I support those who hold positions consistent with mine. Bernie does; Hillary does not.

I get that there's only altruism and no "us" versus "them" when it's brought up directly.

Doesn't mean it isn't the main engine driving debate - especially on this site - my opinion, of course.
